Plants that still surround us, who give us oxygen, provide us shade and shelter and continue to heal us.     For thousands of years, plant leaves have been used to treat health issues and injuries. Whether that use was through direct application to wounds or by ingestion, plants have healing properties we can still use today.     Cabbage leaves are a vegetable that has been recognized as a superfood. Full of useful antioxidant properties, they reduce the chance of diseases caused by free radicals.      [![Delta-8-Be-Your-Highest-Gummies-809x100-Clear](https://www.assuaged.com/hs-fs/hubfs/16%20-%20Banner%20Ads/Delta-8-Be-Your-Highest-Gummies-809x100-Clear.png?width=809&name=Delta-8-Be-Your-Highest-Gummies-809x100-Clear.png)](https://beyourhighest.com/product/delta-8-cbd-gummies/) ## The History of Cabbage     ![cabbage-healing-feature-photo-blog (899 × 450 px)-1](https://www.assuaged.com/hs-fs/hubfs/05%20-%20Social%20Media%20Images/cabbage-healing-feature-photo-blog%20(899%20%C3%97%20450%20px)-1.jpg?width=899&name=cabbage-healing-feature-photo-blog%20(899%20%C3%97%20450%20px)-1.jpg)     Once only eaten by the upper class, cabbage, a close broccoli relative, belongs to the Brassica family. It is estimated that Eastern cabbage has been used in Asia since 4,000 B.C., and Western cabbage has been around for the last 3,000 years since the Celts cultivated it.    It was a popular plant due to its ability to hold water and retain it even when grown in dryer and colder climates. Some of the greatest empires in history, including the Roman and Egyptian empires, considered it a luxury food item and highly regarded it as superior to other vegetables. ## Health Benefits of Cabbage ## 1. Cancer   ![Cabbage-Cancer-Prevention (899 × 450 px)-1](https://www.assuaged.com/hs-fs/hubfs/05%20-%20Social%20Media%20Images/Cabbage-Cancer-Prevention%20(899%20%C3%97%20450%20px)-1.jpg?width=899&name=Cabbage-Cancer-Prevention%20(899%20%C3%97%20450%20px)-1.jpg)     Cabbage is one of 5 cruciferous vegetables that can neutralize the dangerous products that estrogen creates and provide I3C (indole-3-carbinol). I3C specifically helps to balance hormones and affects estrogen products.    The two types of estrogen products that exist are called 2-hydroxyestrone and 16-alpha-hydroxyestrone. The estrogen product that is beneficial to you is 2-hydroxyestrone.     The product 16-alpha-hydroxyestrone can affect the promotion of breast cancer. According to the University of Berkeley, the combination of I3C and tamoxifen, a chemotherapy agent, suppresses tumor growth in breast cancer patients. ## 2. Inflammation   ![Cabbage-Inflammation-Healing (899 × 450 px)-1](https://www.assuaged.com/hs-fs/hubfs/05%20-%20Social%20Media%20Images/Cabbage-Inflammation-Healing%20(899%20%C3%97%20450%20px)-1.jpg?width=899&name=Cabbage-Inflammation-Healing%20(899%20%C3%97%20450%20px)-1.jpg)     Cabbage contains many chemicals that can reduce inflammation, which in turn reduces the chances of disease related to chronic inflammation.   Sulforaphane, a natural plant compound, and other antioxidants in cabbage aid its ability to be used as an anti-inflammatory treatment. Regular intake of cabbage can help prevent chronic inflammation, leading to a decreased chance of overall disease.   ## 3. Pain   ![Cabbage-Pain-Healing (899 × 450 px)-1](https://www.assuaged.com/hs-fs/hubfs/05%20-%20Social%20Media%20Images/Cabbage-Pain-Healing%20(899%20%C3%97%20450%20px)-1.jpg?width=899&name=Cabbage-Pain-Healing%20(899%20%C3%97%20450%20px)-1.jpg)     Cabbage is also great for digestion and can be eaten to relieve pain associated with stomach and intestinal issues. It is also recommended for breastfeeding mothers. Applying cabbage leaves to the breasts can relieve pain and swelling.   It can also be used for weaning a baby, as consistent use will dry up milk production. It is now also used to help with joint pain and decrease the pain of osteoarthritis patients.  ## 4. Swelling ## ![Cabbage-Swelling-Healing (899 × 450 px)](https://www.assuaged.com/hs-fs/hubfs/05%20-%20Social%20Media%20Images/Cabbage-Swelling-Healing%20(899%20%C3%97%20450%20px).jpg?width=899&name=Cabbage-Swelling-Healing%20(899%20%C3%97%20450%20px).jpg)     The antioxidants anthocyanin and glutamine also present in cabbage reduce swelling. Direct application of cabbage can be used in the same way you use a cold pack to reduce swelling.      Wrapping a body part in cool cabbage reduces swelling and relieves an area that is hot from inflammation.       A research study posted in the Clinical Journal of Pain found that through a randomized control study of 81 patients with osteoarthritis, the group who wrapped those areas with cabbage leaves saw a significant reduction in swelling and felt a decrease in pain with increased mobility after only 4 weeks. ## 5. Wound Healing     ![Untitled (899 × 450 px)-1](https://www.assuaged.com/hs-fs/hubfs/05%20-%20Social%20Media%20Images/Untitled%20(899%20%C3%97%20450%20px)-1.jpg?width=899&name=Untitled%20(899%20%C3%97%20450%20px)-1.jpg)       The use of cabbage poultices expedites wound healing. Cabbage is excellent for lymphatic drainage and draws out toxins and infections. Infections can range from internal respiratory issues to infections that open wounds may create.     Cabbage is also used in skin infections, even with severe gangrene infections. ## 6. Diabetes   ![Cabbage-Diabetes-Healing (899 × 450 px)](https://www.assuaged.com/hs-fs/hubfs/05%20-%20Social%20Media%20Images/Cabbage-Diabetes-Healing%20(899%20%C3%97%20450%20px).jpg?width=899&name=Cabbage-Diabetes-Healing%20(899%20%C3%97%20450%20px).jpg)       Blood sugar levels are factors that a patient with Type II Diabetes has always to be aware of. The imbalance of it can cause serious health issues. A rise in blood sugar levels can lead to diabetic coma and even death.    Cabbage's antihyperglycemic properties, however, can help reduce blood sugar levels when ingested on a regular basis.    This supplement to other Diabetic management techniques is an easy and inexpensive way to help patients manage their blood sugar. ## 7. Heart Disease   ![Cabbage-Heart Disease-Healing (899 × 450 px)](https://www.assuaged.com/hs-fs/hubfs/05%20-%20Social%20Media%20Images/Cabbage-Heart%20Disease-Healing%20(899%20%C3%97%20450%20px).jpg?width=899&name=Cabbage-Heart%20Disease-Healing%20(899%20%C3%97%20450%20px).jpg)     A water-soluble polyphenol called anthocyanin, present in cabbage, increases permeability in capillaries and strengthens them, reducing inflammation and platelet formation while increasing nitric oxide (NO) release. All of these factors combined help decrease the chance of heart attack and heart disease.  ## Cabbage Is a True Superfood     Cabbage has numerous health benefits. It combats some of the most serious chronic issues, like inflammation, that can lead to many diseases. As both a prevention method and treatment, cabbage can help decrease the leading causes of disease in America, including heart disease and cancer. Its routine use can make a person live a healthier, longer life with less pain. Cost-effective and easy-to-use cabbage is a true superfood.    ## ![CBDA-Gummies-Instagram](https://www.assuaged.com/hs-fs/hubfs/07%20-%20Downloaded%20High-Level%20SM%20Designs/CBDA-Gummies-Instagram.png?width=650&height=650&name=CBDA-Gummies-Instagram.png)   ## Check Out Our '[Be Your Highest](https://www.beyourhighest.com)' Products     Curious to try CBDA Ashwagandha Gummies?
