Cabbage treatment symptoms

A lot of times, when someone begins treatment with cabbage, that person frequently experiences a lot of gas.  This symptom could be due to the fact that the cabbage is deeply evacuating wastes, toxins, and putrefied substances in the intestines, which is why this is a natural reaction.  Even diarrhea, stomach aches, or headaches are normal symptoms in what is known as a curing crisis.  However, if this gas continues even after having finished the treatment, or if it was present even before treatment, then the gas could be due to something else.

If you suffer from gas, using this alternative is not advisable until first discovering the causes that are provoking your gas, or, begin treatment by drinks carrot juice with alfalfa, aloe vera or spinach.  Drink half a cup of fresh juice a day to help reestablish the intestines, or to prepare them for cabbage treatment.

How to consume cabbage:

You can eat cabbage either in a salad, combined with other vegetables, or as a juice (see detail below).

Make a salad:

One recommendable salad would be to grate half a cabbage with a bit of carrot and dress with olive oil, salt and lemon, adding just a touch of oregano.

Make cabbage juice:

To make a juice all  you need is half of one fresh cabbage and a juice extractor.  Push the cabbage through the extractor and drink the juice without straining.  If you want to turn this juice into a treatment, drink it daily for 20 days.

If you combine cabbage juice with carrot juice, you will have an excellent source of vitamin C and vitamin A, which will help fight herpes labialis, skin infections, bleeding gums, inflammation and periodontitis.

About cabbage:

This plant grows in dry land, its leaves are wide and wrinkly, and its flowers are yellow.  It has been a highly valued plant in Europe, and was known in the Celt culture.  Great doctors from ancient Greece valued it as one of the best medicinal plants.
