Tried elastic bandages, no help. Read about cabbage leaves for breast engorgement, why not try it? Both conditions caused by excess fluid with nowhere to go. Put crushed cabbage leaves over the bulge, held in place with elastic bandage. Significant improvement overnight; after three nights the swelling has practically disappeared." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/cabbage.html&name=NS_28753 /Remedies/cabbage.rss2 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 11:39:44 EDT [YEA] Ann from Paris, France writes: "A few years ago, my daughter having had her baby and having chosen to breast feed her, began getting "knots" in her breasts. Apparently the baby was not drinking enough milk to have a smooth flow and the milk was causing congestion in the ducts. The result was very hard and painful swollen breasts. I believe this is a situation that many nursing mothers face. We tried using fresh cabbage leaves and it worked miracles! Just take the individual leaves, dip in boiling water for a couple of minutes to soften; let cool till warm and wrap the breasts in 2 or 3 layers of leaves. Cover with a warm damp towel and leave for an hour or so, then repeat until the breasts have become supple once again. Try it, it works! Cabbage works for alot of other types of congestion and swelling and even for wounds. It's a great home remedy." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/cabbage.html&name=RF_26395 /Remedies/cabbage.rss3 Fri, 08 May 2009 00:00:00 EDT [YEA] Treef from Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England writes: "Hi. About forty years ago I badly sprained my left knee when the heel of my shoe broke. Since that time it occasionally becomes extremely painful, with a large swelling on the inside of the knee (I mean the side towards the other leg). A few years ago, however, I read about using cabbage leaves to treat joint pain and so thought I would give it a go. Hey presto! It worked. This is the treatment: Take some large dark green cabbage leaves and cut out the hard stalks. Next, in their raw state, crush them using a rolling pin until the juice starts to run a little. Then wrap them around the knee--right around and overlapping--and then apply a crepe support bandage to hold them firmly in place. This is best done just before bedtime. Go to bed, get a good night's sleep with your cosy knee held firmly in place, and wake up smelling like a compost heap. Unwrap the bandage, discarding the leaves, and test the leg gently. It works for me and also for a student I once had on a dance/drama course. He was about 16 and practically crippled with the pain from a knee that the doctors could do nothing about. He tried this remedy--and yes, it worked for him too! Excellent website--thank you." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/cabbage.html&name=CLEANSE_27308 /Remedies/cabbage.rss4 Tue, 28 Apr 2009 00:00:00 EDT [YEA] Joyce from Joelton, Tn writes: "Here is a recipe for people in need of probiotics & little money. It is said the cabbage juice will purify the G I tract & kill most strains fungi, parasites and other pathogens. Instructions are to drink this juice (1/2 cup juice & finish filling cup with water) 2 to 3 times per day. Since most vegetables are supposed to work, except for tomatoes) you can probably boost its kick with utilizing some of those so called weeds from the yard (dandelion, dock, broad leaf plantain, wild mustard, shepherds purse, wild onions, etc). Drink until your stools float in the toilet bowl and are odor free. The cabbage can be eaten for extra benefit after straining. Cultured Cabbage Juice Fill blender with chopped green cabbage. Add distilled water until 2/3 full. Blend on hiigh for 1-2 minutes. Pour out into large bowl and repeat for 2 more batches. Cover with cheese cloth, gauze or stocking and let stand at room temperature X 3 days. Strain to separate juice & pulp. Place cultured cabbage juice in refrigerator. When supply gets low start new batch, but add 1/2 cup of cultured juice (Starter) and new batch will be ready in 24 hours.

Just grating a small portion of raw cabbage onto a bandage and leaving it overnight helped to draw out the poisin and heal the infection where other herbal remedies had failed, and my only recommended recourse otherwise would have been antibiotics, which I was loathe to take." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/cabbage.html&name=RF_20825 /Remedies/cabbage.rss6 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 00:00:00 EST [YEA] Marco from Fort Worth, TX writes: "Cabbage Juice is a great remedy for stomach ulcers. Most people see improvement about 5 days after starting to drink the juice. I used it for an ulcer that had been bothering me for months and I felt significantly better and pain free after only the first day of my supplementation. It's pretty simple. Just buy cabbage from any store, most are average size and vary little from one to another. I usually slice off about half an inch off any side of the cabbage and put it into a blender. I add about 1 cup of distilled water and blend for a full minute. I let it set for about 5 minutes and then drink it down, pulp and all. The taste is very plain. The only thing that will bother most people at first is the smell. But its very easy to drink - not bitter or foul tasting. You'll only taste it if you convince yourself it tastes like it smells, which I did at first. You generally do 3 cups a day, spaced out, until you ulcer is healed, which is usually 4-10 days for most people. If you're not seeing a doctor, its best to continue a couple of weeks as the cabbage juice relieves the pain of an ulcer, which may deceive some people into thinking it has actually healed in full. Changing your diet to avoid foods that irritate your ulcer (fats for most people are the irritants) is also crucial to healing. Cabbage may also work for other digestive ailments. A cup of blended cabbage juice contains millions of friendly bacteria. There is actually significant scientific evidence out there that supports cabbage juices beneficial properties for ulcers and the digestive system in general. It's a very cost effective treatment and is definitely preferable to harmful antacids." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/cabbage.html&name=RF_16263 /Remedies/cabbage.rss7 Sun, 31 Aug 2008 00:00:00 EDT [YEA] Mujahid from Tobyhanna, Pennsylanvia writes: "I stopped eating meat, and started eating cabbage everyday, yes gas is part of what is expected, but my bowel movement is now regulated, my system is cleansed, stool is no longer dark and there is no unbearable smell. my weight is going down. And most of all I feel better physically. I juice 8 oz twice a day. And eat 1/4 pound per day. Basil and Fennel and black pepper for flavor." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/cabbage.html&name=RF_15048 /Remedies/cabbage.rss8 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 00:00:00 EDT [YEA] Kim from Richmond, Va writes: "re: cabbage for PMS symptoms -- Each month when my breasts become sore I use cabbage leaves in my bra over night and the next morning the soreness is gone." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/cabbage.html&name=RF_14355 /Remedies/cabbage.rss9 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:00:00 EDT Irma from Baguio City, Philippines writes: "Sir, We harvest a lot of cabbage in my country, and its a blessing to learn about it on your website, Im sure a lot of people are being helped and being blessed with your website, God bless you more wisdom to share." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/cabbage.html&name=RF_1539 /Remedies/cabbage.rss10 Wed, 19 Sep 2007 00:00:00 EDT [YEA] Christine Keitel from Melbourne, Australia writes: "I had a huge hematoma on my left shin from a bad fall last year. My Physiotherapist said it was the largest hematoma he had ever seen and was not responding to treatment as it should. He then suggested to me to go home and buy some big fresh dark green outside leaves of a cabbage, smother my hematoma with Voltaren cover over with the cabbage leaf and then wrap in plastic or glad wrap as we call it here. I did this every night and it shrunk in size amazingly everytime I did it. Only at night when you go to bed though it does not work as well during the day but could try it. I must tell you the doctor who sent me to the physio was absolutely amazed how this worked on my hematoma when traditional methods had failed and also can I say saved me from an operation where I would have probably been left with a rather large dent in my leg!!!" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/cabbage.html&name=RF_1540 /Remedies/cabbage.rss11 Tue, 26 Jun 2007 00:00:00 EDT [YEA] Victor from USA writes: "Raw cabbage and cabbage juice relieves joint pain and swelling in my hands, and it works fast." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Remedies/cabbage.html&name=RF_1541 /Remedies/cabbage.rss12 Sun, 20 May 2007 00:00:00 EDT [YEA] Sarah from Brussels, Belgium writes: "A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with GERD and I suffered from acid reflux and heartburn. The medication prescribed by the doctor rather worsened my situation and I suffered a number of side effects from it. I came across a site suggesting that drinking raw cabbage juice cures acid reflux and other problems related to the stomach, such as ulcer.I did further research to confirm this and decided to give it a try. The general suggested daily dosage is about a quart [800ml] of raw cabbage juice to be taken about 4 times daily. I found that rather too much and I started with 400ml [100ml x 4].I noticed great improvement and after one week I reduced the dosage to 300ml [100ml x 3]. After about 3 weeks of the whole therapy, I decided to take only 200ml a day. Those with stomach ulcers or acute cases of acid reflux might need to take the full dosage. I have stopped drinking cabbage juice since about 10 months now and I haven\'t had any serious reflux problems. For those who would like to try it, PLEASE NOTE that it is said to have strong impact on the thyroid glands [the more reason why I never consumed 800ml a day!]. Not to mention the stench - it is better stored in an air-tight water bottle and kept in the fridge. Good luck to all, and thanks for the great site.
