Cabbage leaves

Cabbage leaves can help inflammation of any body part

EDITOR-I was amazed to see the photograph submitted by Utting and Currall.1

Not amazed that a cabbage leaf was used, but that this was considered

newsworthy.

 

 

Cabbage leaves are often used by breast-feeding women to soothe engorged

painful breasts. Their success in my personal trial of one has led to my

recommendation of them, not only to breastfeeding women but to any one with

an acutely inflamed bodily part, with reasonable success.

A cabbage stored in the fridge is cheaper than any of the exciting gel

filled pouches you can buy, and the leaves conform well to a variety of

anatomical shapes.
