>I  now highly recommend cabbage leaf application after dental surgery. And
wonder, if it works for this, what other ways might applications of cabbage
be useful?  Swollen joints maybe? Sports injuries?<

Hi Netters,

The netters that were with me 2 and 1/2 yrs ago when I had brain surgery,
already have heard this.  I still laugh when I think about it today.  After
brain surgery, sent home from ICU, I immediately but cabbage around my
head.  It was the only thing that would keep the swelling down, minimize
the headaches, and keep my right eye from closing shut.  I never did tell
my neurosurgeon though.  Next time I see him, I will have to tell him.  I
now use it on all joint injurys.   IT WORKS !!!!
(I keep getting stuff I send, bounced back to me.  Anyone else have this
problem from Compuserve???)
