Steep the leaf in hot water to soften it, then wrap it around the affected area. Cabbages contain a naturally occuring anti-inflammatory agent.

Many breastfeeding mums also swear by cabbage leaves to help ease sore breasts and even treat mastitis. Make sure you keep the leaves away from the nipple.

Meanwhile, juicing cabbages will leave you with a liquid that can be used to settle stomach ulcers. It’s thought that this is due to an amino acid in cabbage called glutamine, which nourishes the cells in your gastrointestinal tract.
