Step 1: Prepare the Leaves
- Choose fresh, large cabbage leaves (green or red cabbage work well).
- Wash them thoroughly and pat dry.
- (Optional) Soften the leaves by microwaving for 20-30 seconds or dipping in warm water for easier application.
Step 2: Apply to the Affected Area
- Remove the thick stem for a smoother fit.
- Place the leaves directly on the painful joint or muscle.
- Secure with a bandage or cling wrap to keep them in place.
Step 3: Relax & Let It Work
- Leave on for 30 minutes to 2 hours (or overnight for deeper relief).
- Repeat 2-3 times daily for best results.
