Cabbage has been used in medicine for centuries, and its healing properties are unmatched. Cabbage is so rich in antioxidants and minerals that it should be consumed daily. It contains large amounts of vitamins C and U (the latter is used as a naturopathic supplement to treat various health issues). Cabbage is particularly recommended for people with anemia or low blood count, as it is a natural antiseptic that helps replenish vital minerals and vitamins in the body.
Cabbage has been proven to cure many minor ailments, including hangovers, alleviates chronic diseases, cough, and even prevents ear infections. It acts as a mild diuretic, serving as a natural laxative and an effective body cleanser. It heals gastric ulcers and effectively removes mucus from the digestive tract due to its high content of sulfur, chlorine, and iodine.
Cabbage is also a highly effective remedy in preventing the formation of cancer cells and blocking metastasis development. The most cases of recovery with cabbage have been observed in breast, colon, liver, lung, and ovarian cancers, thanks to the substance sulforaphane found in cabbage, which protects cells from the invasion of carcinogens.
Cabbage has another very special and useful property. It inhibits sugar conversion, which many exploit in weight loss diets.
How to prepare cabbage juice?
You can use a juicer or a blender. It is important to soak cabbage leaves in warm water mixed with a little apple cider vinegar for half an hour. The vinegar will not only destroy harmful bacteria on the leaves (even if cultivation is organic, the air, water, and soil can be contaminated with pesticides), but it will also speed up digestion in your stomach and boost metabolic processes. Only then will the cleansing properties of cabbage come to light.
