I'll add to Peggy's list:
                in and around casts for swelling from broken bones
                on and around sites of operative incisions
                swollen joints (such as tennis elbow)
                black eyes (around the eye only, not over it!)  :-)
                reduce inflammation from painful arthritic sites

I use panty hose legs (cut off, of course) to tie the cabbage around a
limb or face.

Karen Z, who is applying cabbage to one of my son's shoulder after an
operation last week--he lets me know when it's time for a change!
