Cabbage
Cabbage stimulates the immune system and the production of antibodies, and is an excellent remedy for fighting bacterial and viral infection, such as colds and flu. Raw cabbage juice promotes the healing ulsers, both internally and externally. Mucilaginous substances protect the lining of the digestive tract from irritants, and an amino acid, methionine,
promotes healing. Bioflavonoids and antioxidant vitamins A, C and E afford some protection against tissue damage, degenerative disease and premature aging from free radicals. It makes a soothing anti-septic gargle from sore throats and a mouthwash for mouth ulcers.
