Medicinal and Nutritional Benefits- Leaves or petals can be ground up using a mortar and pestle to make an ointment. This paste can be used in multiple ways because it has antibiotic, antiseptic, and antifungal properties. The ointment can be used to treat minor cuts and scrapes as well as help treat some types of acne and skin irritations. The leaves and petals are often seeped in hot water to make a tea. This tea has many versatile uses. It alleviates respiratory infections, prevents scurvy, urinary tract diseases, and aids in stimulating the digestive tract. It is also a great resource to alleviate hay fever due to the high histamine content. In addition, fresh juice rubbed into the scalp is said to stimulate hair growth.
Culinary Uses – Nasturtium leaves are edible, and like the flowers, they have a peppery taste. They can grace sandwiches, dips and spreads, and bowls of greens. Chop or slice leaves into small pieces using a sharp knife and use them as you would use green onions or garlic. You can also add the leaves to salads, egg dishes, cheeses, sorbets and custards.
