• Leaves for a compress should be taken from healthy juicy elastic heads of cabbage, cut off the central rough parts from them and dipped in hot water for a minute so that the leaf warms up and becomes soft.
• Then roll it with a rolling pin or a bottle so that the leaf lets out the juice.
• In a water bath, you need to warm up the honey, you need it to be warm and spread well on a cabbage leaf. One spoonful of honey is taken on one sheet.
• Apply honey quickly and evenly to the leaf and apply it to the chest, where we usually put mustard plasters. The heart area should be open.
• On top, attach a thick layer of fabric (this can be flannel, cotton, linen), and then a warm scarf or shawl, which you need to bandage the chest so that the compress holds well.
• If the cough is in the initial stage, then one sheet on the chest is enough, but if the process is aggravated, put the second sheet prepared in the same way on the back between the shoulder blades.
• In the morning after removing the compress, wipe the skin with a soft damp towel and immediately dress warmly.

How many procedures to do

Such compresses should be applied at night 3 to 7 times daily. Usually by this time, the cough subsides if treatment is started on time. With a strong cough, the compress can be applied twice a day, observing bed rest.

If the cough is accompanied by fever, headache, then this may be the result of a viral infection, in this case it is necessary to urgently consult a doctor.

Honey can be substituted for butter, melted pork fat, or castor oil.

Compress

For the preparation of compresses, you can use the leaves themselves and the stump.

In the case of using leaves, they are carefully separated from the stump. Remove the thickened stem with a knife. Then slightly beat off the sheets with a wooden rolling pin or hammer. Apply the side from which the juice was released to the neck, chest area, back. Wrap the top with cling film and insulate with a woolen scarf or shawl. Leave the compress for a couple of hours, then remove the bandage and rinse off the remaining juice.

If there are no cabbage leaves or there are few of them left on the stump, then you can use the following recipe. Grind cabbage leftovers with a blender or food processor. Transfer the resulting gruel to cling film and attach to the neck. Fasten it carefully, warm it with a scarf. Leave the compress for several hours. After 1-1.5 hours, relief is felt, the cough will become less pronounced, and its frequency will decrease. Change the bandage every 2 hours until the condition is completely improved.

In case there is a cough, the use of cabbage compress is contraindicated.

Cabbage juice

Cabbage juice is good for sore throat caused by a strong dry cough. You can use a juicer to get it. In its absence, the cabbage is rubbed on a fine grater. Transfer the resulting mass to cheesecloth and squeeze thoroughly. Add 1 tsp to the resulting juice. 6% acetic acid solution. Leave to infuse for 25-30 minutes. Gargle with this composition every 2-3 hours. It will relieve pain and discomfort in the throat.

Cabbage broth

Cabbage broth is also an effective remedy against cough; with its help, this symptom is treated at any stage of pathology.

To prepare the broth, a small head of cabbage is poured with cold water in a saucepan and put on fire. You need to cook the vegetable until fully cooked, until the leaves become soft. After that, the head of cabbage is removed from the pan, the broth is filtered and poured into a jar. Take a drink in half a glass with the addition of 0.5 tsp. honey three times a day with meals.

Honey, with individual intolerance, is replaced with castor oil.

Contraindications

Although cabbage is a natural product, it has a number of contraindications. In the event that the leaves or stump of a vegetable are used to prepare a compress, there are no special contraindications, except for an increased temperature.

Many recipes indicate the use of honey. Its use is also limited if there is an allergic reaction to bee products, even if used externally.

Do not apply the procedure at elevated temperatures. For a complete recovery, 3-4 procedures are usually enough.

You can also make mustard compresses from cabbage gruel. They are just as effective as sheets.

Drinking cabbage drink (broth, juice) most often does not cause a child's refusal. They are pleasant to the taste, do not have bitter and sour shades. But they can cause indigestion, in particular, increased gas production, constipation. Therefore, you should carefully monitor the baby's stool.

Features of use in pregnant women

A cough for pregnant women is dangerous in itself, since during it there is tension in the anterior abdominal wall, and therefore the uterus. This can pose a threat to the further bearing of the child.

Throughout pregnancy, drug treatment is rather unsafe. This is especially true for the first trimester. Cabbage is not contraindicated in pregnancy. Therefore, it can be applied during this entire period. It can be used in the form of compresses that are applied to the chest, back, neck, or taken internally. But when using broths and cabbage juice, it should be borne in mind that it contributes to flatulence. This can make a pregnant woman feel worse.

Inflammation that engulfs the nose, its paranasal sinuses, larynx, pharynx, trachea causes irritation, swelling of these organs leads to the body trying to get rid of substances that impede breathing. For this, the body has special receptors.

The cough can be:

According to the presence or absence of phlegm, it is dry and moist. Due to the lack of sputum separation, the onset of the disease is accompanied by a phenomenon such as coughing. Often this condition is exhausting the patient. However, it is not a cough that should be treated, since this is just an attempt by the body to remove foreign elements, but the reasons that cause it.

That is, directly a virus, infection or inflammation causing this reaction.

A wet, productive (or wet) cough causes coughing up or sputum production, which is associated with the body's activities to eliminate harmful substances and toxins that are a product of their activity.

Dry cough is more common in the early or acute stages of the disease. Wet indicates the mobilization of protective equipment to fight against virus, infection or inflammation.

Cabbage leaf with honey for coughs has an equal effect on both types.

The effects of a compress

Compresses are most often used for treatment. Let's see how to make a cabbage compress in general cases.

1. Cabbage should not be cold, freshly taken from the refrigerator. Leaves can be used at least at room temperature. Sometimes it may be necessary to heat them; for this purpose, you can place the sheet in the microwave or hold it over the flame of a gas stove.
2. Of course, before use, the leaves must be washed and dried with a napkin.
3. Thick veins should be cut with a knife.
4. If you just tear off a leaf from a head of cabbage and attach it to a sore spot, then there will be little sense. After all, the main benefit lies in the juice. To remove it, you can make small notches with a knife or beat the outside of the sheet with a rolling pin, a wooden mallet, or the blunt side of the knife.
5. A prepared leaf or several leaves, if necessary (overlapping each other), are applied to the desired place and fixed with a bandage: a bandage, a scarf, any fabric, you can even use cut off old tights.
6. Hold the compress until the leaves dry, then change them to fresh ones, while the skin needs to be washed and wiped dry. The compress is often left overnight.

Cabbage leaf with honey

Often, to enhance the effect of treatment in many cases, then I will talk about them, the cabbage leaf is used in conjunction with honey, the beneficial properties of this unique product are known to us.

To do this, a cabbage leaf is warmed and smeared with a thin layer of liquid honey (if the honey is thick, melt it in a water bath). In this form, a compress is applied, covered with polyethylene, wrapped with something warm and tied.

It seems to me that it is even easier to just spread the sore spot with honey, and attach cabbage on top.

The healing effect of such a bandage is delightful, but there is, of course, the inconvenience that the honey flows out and sticks to the body.
