Cabbage is a green leafy vegetable used extensively in cooking a variety of traditional Indian dishes such as dals, curries, and soups. Being naturally low in calories and rich in dietary fibers, cabbage is also blessed with the goodness of vitamins K, C, B2 and B6, minerals and antioxidants. It is very beneficial in relieving stomach pain, flushing out toxins and excess gastric acid and healing intestinal ulcers. Apart from reducing the risk of acquiring cancers of the lung, stomach, colon, and breast, it also rectifies morning sickness. Breast-feeding women sometimes apply cabbage leaves and herbal concoctions made using its extracts to their breasts, to mitigate pain and discomfort.
