After all, how is a cabbage leaf wrap supposed to help relieve joint discomfort?

In a study performed on people suffering from stage 2 or 3 knee osteoporosis the researchers divided the participants into groups who then received different treatments. The groups treated with the cabbage leaf wraps recorded that they felt less pain after only 4 weeks of treatment.

Another study performed in China showed that people with a higher consumption of cruciferous vegetables experienced significantly reduced inflammation in comparison to people who avoid these vegetables. The wrap is really easy to make. All you need are a few cabbage leaves and some olive oil.

Start by steaming the cabbage leaves for 10 minutes, until they feel soft. Alternatively, you can boil some water then put the cabbage leaves in and turn down the stove, leaving them to sit for 10 minutes on low heat. While they’re cooking, massage some olive oil into the area with circular movements. After 10 minutes take the cabbage off the stove and blot them on some paper towels. Let them cool off just enough to where they won’t burn your skin, then place them on the area with the olive oil. Cover the area with a heavy towel to trap the heat inside.

It is recommended that you repeat this process an hour later with fresh leaves.
