I know from long Lactnet reading that cabbage is great for engorgement and
other forms of swelling.

But I can't find anywhere in my books or my archive search a plain description
of how you use it.  Surely not straight from the greengrocer?   Do I need to
soften it somehow?  Crush it? Freeze/thaw it?  (or just freeze it, then I
guess it's like the bags of frozen peas a bottle-feeding cousing of mine was
told by her ped to use)   Parboil it?   Chop it up to a poultice?

Please somebody send me a plain recipe.
