The Bach flower mustard, or Sinapis arvensis in Latin, is an annual plant; its life cycle, which begins with germination and ends with seed production, lasts one year. A member of the Brassicaceae family, the Bach flower mustard is often considered a weed because it easily invades fields and gardens. This species is found throughout France and is also widespread in Europe, Asia, and North Africa.
The Bach flower mustard is a plant that flowers from May to September. It is composed of lyrate lower leaves and oval upper leaves. It measures between 20 and 60 cm and has pale yellow flowers that, like the sun, dispel gloom. A single plant can bear up to 4,000 seeds, patiently waiting buried underground for the right opportunity to resurface. Its black seeds can be used to make mustard, although the condiment is most often made from white mustard. The Bach flower Mustard is mainly found in fields, fallow land, roadsides, and wastelands, especially if they are chalky.
