You probably know that cruciferous vegetables should be a big part of your diet, but did you know that they’re also good for pain relief? No, you don’t have to put a head of broccoli on your knee. Here’s what to do…
For relief from joint pain caused by arthritis, gout or overexertion, take a few cabbage leaves and steam them for 10 minutes, until they’re limp. You can place a metal steamer over boiling water, or place whole leaves into boiling water, lower the heat and gently simmer for 10 minutes. While the cabbage leaves are cooking, lightly massage a little olive oil on the painful area. After 10 minutes, pull out the cabbage leaves and drain on paper towels. As soon as possible, without burning yourself, place the warm cabbage leaves on the oiled area. Cover with a heavy towel or plastic wrap to keep in the heat. Repeat the process an hour later with new cabbage leaves. Stop when you’re tired of wearing cabbage.
