Cabbage leaves have been traditionally used to provide relief for a variety of health concerns, including reducing inflammation. One common application is for soothing discomfort during breastfeeding. Below is a general guide on how to use cabbage leaves for this purpose:

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Cabbage Leaves:

1. Clean the Cabbage Leaves:
   • Rinse cabbage leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt or residues.
   • Both green and red cabbage leaves are suitable for this method.
2. Remove the Stems:
   • Cut out the tough stem from the center of each leaf. This allows the leaves to better conform to the shape of the area they’re being applied to.
3. Prepare the Leaves:
   • Lightly crush the leaves using a rolling pin or by gently pressing them with your hands. This helps release the natural juices, which may have soothing properties.
4. Apply the Leaves:
   • Place the crushed cabbage leaves onto the affected area, ensuring full coverage.
   • Make sure the leaves are in direct contact with the skin for maximum benefit.
5. Secure the Leaves:
   • To hold the cabbage leaves in place, wear a comfortable, supportive bra.
   • You can leave the cabbage leaves on for 20-30 minutes to an hour for relief.
6. Remove and Discard:
   • After the recommended time, remove the cabbage leaves.
   • Dispose of the leaves after use.

Important Notes:
