There is an article in the Sept. 1995 issue of Journal of Human
Lactation about using cabbage leaves to treat engorgement. "A Comparison
of Chilled and Room Temperature Cabbage Leaves in Treating Breast
Engorgement", by Roberts, Reiter, and Schuster. To quote from the
conclusion of the article, "Cabbage leaves may offer some relief for
discomfort of breast engorgement.......It is not necessary to chill the
cabbage leaves before using them, since chilling has no effect on the
efficacy of the treatment."
The sample size for the study is quite small, only 28 women.
