How Does Cabbage Leaf Therapy Work?
The magic lies in the simplicity of cabbage leaves. Packed with water and possessing a porous structure, these leaves are believed to absorb excess fluid from the mammary glands, effectively reducing the fullness in breast tissue. Additionally, the cold temperature of chilled cabbage leaves offers a soothing effect, akin to using cold packs to alleviate swelling.
Cabbage Therapy Guide:
Begin the cabbage leaf therapy by cooling a few leaves in the freezer. Following a nursing or pumping session, take a pair of chilled cabbage leaves and apply them to your breasts. Enhance absorption by crunching the leaves, breaking their veins. Maintain the leaves on your breasts until they warm up or wilt against the skin. After the application, minimize the residual cabbage smell by washing your breasts with warm soapy water.
Responses to cabbage leaf therapy can differ among individuals, with many mothers reporting relief within 12 hours, though individual outcomes may vary. As you consider transitioning to wean your baby from breastfeeding, cabbage leaf therapy stands as a valuable ally. If engorgement is localized to one breast, applying the therapy unilaterally is recommended.
Please note that it is important to always consult with your healthcare provider if concerns persist or if you are considering cabbage leaf therapy. This natural approach is generally safe, but individual comfort and preferences should guide its use.
