Safety Tips Before Trying This Remedy
Cabbage leaves are generally safe, but a few precautions are important.
-
Test on a small skin area first to avoid irritation.
-
Do not apply on open wounds or broken skin.
-
Stop using if redness or itching occurs.
-
Use it as a complement to medical care, not a replacement.
Most studies report only mild skin irritation in rare cases, similar to what occurs with topical pain gels.
