Although there is no concrete scientific evidence regarding the specific properties of cabbage leaves that provide relief, they are widely appreciated for their soothing and pain-relieving effects, especially when applied as cold compresses directly to the breasts.

Here’s how to use cabbage leaves to relax your breasts:

Start by placing the cabbage in the refrigerator for about an hour until it cools. When cool, remove and discard the outer leaves. You will use the inner sheets.

Wash the inner two cabbage leaves well with cold water to ensure they are clean and free of any dirt, pesticides or residue.

Carefully cut the leaves to fit the shape of your breasts, making sure your nipples remain exposed.

Once the leaves are cut to the correct size, apply them to your breasts. Secure them by wearing a comfortable bra, but make sure your nipples are exposed.

Leave the cabbage leaves on your breasts for about 20 minutes.

You can repeat this process until you achieve the desired results. For example, if you are using this method to reduce breast swelling while breastfeeding, you can stop when you notice an improvement in your comfort.

While the exact mechanism of action of cabbage leaves is not fully understood, many women find relief and relief in this natural remedy. It is important to ensure that cabbage leaves are clean and cool when applying them to your breasts. If you experience any discomfort or have concerns, it is a good idea to consult your healthcare professional for guidance.
