All hail the Cabbage!

Errrrrr, say it ain’t so? Has anyone heard of or tried this? Does the cabbage need to be cooked first, if so I’ll pass lol! 😂

Morning

Yes I have heard of it being used for mastitis with good effect I understand.

No it doesn’t need cooking! and it has to be Savoy cabbage. Not any old spring greens!!

Hmmm I might try it!

Have tried it. When you pass it in cooking water it will be easier to wrap around the swollen joint. An old remedy, does have some effect😊Simba

That is very popular in the Middle East-they just run it under the hot tap to soften the leaves-I've seen it done but I don't know if it works as I didn't have RA at the time .

Guess you'd need a perfumed shower afterwards though otherwise you wouldn't be very popular in company!

Comfrey leaves work better! But do need slightly crushing to release their anti-inflammatory properties.

Saw this on tv a couple of years ago along with chilli plasters which did seem to work It was the Chinese Botanist i've got his book somewhere as it had a lot of interesting ideas. I'll find it.

And to think I was going to use my cabbage to make Ukrainian cabbage rolls. I guess the options are out there.

I hate the taste of cabbage, but not enough to try it on my swollen, agonised ankle and foot! Thanks. I won’t eat it afterwards, promise 🤪
