Cabbage - application.

[Guest guest]

Joseph, how did you apply the cabbage to a particular area?

My wife has "ballooning" around her ankles - slow lymphatics, and water retention, so when we talked about this, she decided to give it a go.

OK with slicing it up finely, how does thia stuff get applied and held to the required area?

Obviously wrapped with a plastic cover.....

How long an application ....... does this get put on overnight?

Thanks mate

If you have a diaper or something like that lay the

diaper on a large plastic sheet or bag then apply the

poltice on the diaper and wrap it around the ankle and

foot folding the whole thing with the plastic on the

outside of course and try to seal it off good but not

too tight, as to cutting any circulation off.

 

Guess I could state it another way, start by laying

the plastic out, the diaper sheet next and the ankle

on top and then applying the cabbage all around the

ankles as much as possible and as evenly as possible

and then wrapping the diaper and plastic around it all

so there is no leakage. By diaper I mean the old

fashioned open 2 x 2 foot cloth sheet or other

material to help absorb any drainage.

 

Hope that is not too wordy but understandable. Let me

know how it does.
