I discovered last night that cabbage seems to have some very powerful medicinal uses. I am sensitive to wheat, but can tolerate it now. Sometimes I over do it and my respiratory system is affected. My sinus get inflamed and occasionally my soft palate swells. I typically take Benadryl but now, I believe I have found a new remedy.
Last night I ate some leaves of raw cabbage. About an hour later, I noticed that my sinuses felt more open. When I got home from church I did some searching on cabbage and found that it seems to have anti-inflammatory properties.
This morning, I tried again. I had toast for breakfast. I had enough to cause the swelling. I ate a few cabbage leaves and once again, the swelling is gone. If I can take care of the swelling with a natural food and avoid the Benadryl, I'm very happy with that. I don't really have the time to hit the drowsy period always brought on by the Benadryl.

This doesn't mean I'm going to start eating wheat just because I can eat cabbage. It just means that I'm going to start experimenting with what cabbage can do.
