THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CABBAGE POULTICES – TESTIMONIALS (CONCLUSION)
The marvellous effect of cabbage leaves is truly remarkable and no doctor or medical practitioner who has the well-being of his patients at heart should ignore this lowly plant.
Here is another example, taken at random from the many testimonials I have received. A worried mother wrote asking for advice on how to deal with her child’s swollen neck glands. Having followed the prescribed treatment, this is what she wrote:
‘The trouble was soon put right by the remedies and cabbage poultices. Cabbage, in general, seems to be a marvellous thing. It seemed our thirteen-year-old son, who is 175 cm [5'9"] tall and whose voice has already broken, would not be able to get rid of a cold before having to go back to school the following Monday. He then complained of a really bad headache and yesterday afternoon, of a pain in and above his right eye. I was afraid of sinus trouble, so I put a cabbage poultice on his head just above the eyes and left it on for two hours. Monday came and off he went to school, returning in the evening still cheerful. The pain had completely gone.’
It is quite peculiar that the humble cabbage should have such outstanding healing powers and can give unexpected relief without any harmful side effects. What explanation is there? Well, cabbage not only supplies curative elements to the tissues but also eliminates toxins and other harmful substances from these same affected areas. This kind of remedy fills an important place, especially where nothing else seems to be effective.
