Ekballo Suus

Yes indeed the fortunate brassica!Galen says " most use this as an accompaniment to bread ,but doctors use it as a drying medicine" ."its juice contains a purgative element .. I do not cook it in water when attempting to use it as a drying medicine ..but sek to retain its special juices".

It contains vitamin U -(dont snigger it does exist just like vitamins P and R ) -meaning aagainst Ulceration ,so it could be used as a wound dressing on infected and ulcerated legs where B6 deficiency is noted and in all seriousness if the breast has dense tissue build up,also on the scalp if scrofulous.

So not only -make me a pan of cabbage juice -but-put a couple of leaves on my head as well!

Pliny enumerates 87 remedies using cabbage!

 

I love the stuff but think I'm going to eat much more of it in the coming months.

good for hypochondria as well I see.You beat me to the draw on Pliny!

Ha!

The reason for the effectivness is essentially due to the presence of L'Methionine -this stuff is really good for "ladies of a tempramental disposition" as it tends to mop up hormone surges, as well as being useful in de-toxing blood poisoned with heavy metals (mercury, lead and cadmiun) ,so if Pliny used cabbage the lead piping would not have harmed him!

By my figuring I have a week & a half before I need to stock up for couple of days... "Hey honey, I'm going to cook cabbage the next couple of nights, is that OK?"

Funny, I've always found that drinking water before and after said period of intoxication prevents any sign of a hangover.

That works too of course Docoflove but cabbage soup is a sure bet... :pimp:

 

Uh wait I need some now... I guess water will have to do...
