Why Cabbage Leaves Work
Cabbage is more than just a healthy food. When applied directly to the skin, it delivers powerful natural benefits:
Anti-inflammatory compounds – Help reduce swelling and soreness
Phytonutrients – Support tissue repair and vein strength
Cooling action – Instantly soothes aching, burning legs
Detoxifying effects – Gently draw out retained fluids and improve comfort
This remedy is especially helpful after a long day of standing or sitting.
