Cabbage can safely be called one of the “natural resources” that is often used in folk medicine.
Let's quickly find out where and in what situations you can apply a cabbage leaf.
Relief of pain and inflammation
The leaves of this vegetable are believed to be able to relieve pain and inflammation, so people suffering from arthritis, rheumatism and muscle pain often apply them to those parts of the body that hurt.
Mastitis
Many nursing women have experienced mastitis, or inflammation of the mammary gland. Applying a cabbage leaf to the breast in such situations helps relieve swelling and provide relief.
Wound healing
Many people often resort to the help of cabbage when there is a need to speed up the healing process of wounds or burns, since the properties of this vegetable lead to the fact that swelling is reduced, irritation is relieved, and new tissue is formed.
Improving skin condition
Try applying a cabbage leaf to your skin and you will see how irritation, inflammation and itching go away. For this reason, cabbage is used in cases of sunburn, allergic reactions and other conditions characterized by skin irritation.
However, since cabbage is a folk medicine, it would be a good idea to consult a doctor before using it.
