Guiding principle
The overabundance of wateriness that leads to the formation of a cabbage head in the cabbage plant corresponds to the phenomenon of lymphatic congestion. Cabbage is capable of integrating into the healthy flow of juices liquid that has fallen out of the sphere of life and become subject to the force of gravity. This can be seen in a softening of what is too hard and a subsiding of the edema, together with a corresponding increase in elimination.
Applying leaves of white cabbage externally:
- stimulates the elimination of congested fluids
- reduces swelling, by integrating the congested fluid back into the revitalized metabolism
- purifies
- disperses inflammatory substances via the skin by stimulating the discharge of fluid
- cools
- soothes
- relieves pain
- softens
