Greens are a very underrated vegetable. It costs a few crowns, so we think it’s only good for meals. But that’s not entirely true. This common vegetable, which we can get anywhere, has a number of quite unique effects on human health. First of all, the high vitamin C content is interesting, but that is not the only reason why we should use cabbage. And if not in the form of consumption, which can cause bloating, then in the form of poultices. Just a few leaves can make a unique helper for a whole host of female problems.
Greens applied to the breast
Many people have painful breasts, which can be caused by a hormonal imbalance. Although cabbage can’t balance hormonal levels, it can soothe overall breast tension, reduce pain and reduce swelling. These beneficial effects are appreciated not only by women suffering from premenstrual syndrome, but especially by breastfeeding mothers.
The procedure is simple, put the cabbage in the refrigerator for an hour. Then remove the cold cabbage, peel off the top layer of leaves and discard. Tear off the other two leaves, wash them under cold water and attach them to the breast. Be careful not to cover the nipples. If you cover the nipples, they may be adversely affected by moisture.
Let the cold compress sit on your breasts until it warms up, which is about twenty minutes. Then remove and repeat as needed.
Insect Sting
Cabbage becomes a great helper for us after an insect bite. If we don’t have an antihistamine on hand, cabbage will suffice. Rub the affected area with a cabbage leaf to release some of the juice, and then apply a fresh leaf to the wound. This treatment will help it to recover more quickly.
Autumn Depression
Summer is over and the sultry weather is a harbinger of the coming winter. Sunny days are rare and one sinks into a bad mood. But even here a simple head of cabbage will help. But now we will not need cabbage leaves, but straight cabbage juice, which acts as an antidepressant. Consume a glass of fresh cabbage juice in the morning and evening and depression will have no chance to win over you.
