Cabbage in your bra

I'm doing some website writing today and I've just had occasion to write the following sentence:

At first sign of soreness, try popping a cabbage leaf in your bra.

It's not often one gets the chance to write that.

I often have Frosties in my cleavage but cabbage in my bra ...

Well, I'm always amazed at the healing abilities of a lot of plants but that's the first I've ever heard of cabbage! And your post reminded me I still need to go shopping for new bras. I posted about that ages ago and still haven't bought any...how pathetic am I?! And gravity is quickly taking over, haha!

Having been associated with the medicinal arts, the natural remedies always intrigue me.

This is a new one I'll file away--not sure I'll try it.

Breastfeeding advice if I remember rightly?! Cornflakes would be a little scratchy!

Hmmm....

Jay said...

Hahaha! No indeed! But what I want to know, is, does it work?

My OH would likely steal it to pop into his handrolling tobacco pouch to keep the baccy moist. He always used to use a cabbage leaf!

Me, I prefer them lightly cooked with a little butter.

I was going to make a witty comment, but I think I'll just leave it....

Mmm. I wonder what we are treating here.

I've found strange things in my bra, too, but never purposely put any vegetables there.

Liz Hinds said...

poor you, amanda!

Go, kris! A good bra makes such a difference!

Probably wise, nitwit.

Yes, suburbia, for first signs of mastitis.

Indeed, leslie!

And a sprinkling of pepper, jay.

I'm glad you 'leaved' it, damon!

Mastitis, jmb.

Nor me, rose, but now i know ...

Furtheron said...

It works ... well I'm reliably informed it does

I think it may be wise if I removed the cauliflower florets from my bra and opted to cabbage leaves instead then?

You've given me a good laugh! I always get necklaces and lockets down my bra.

I've never read about that anywhere, but when my son's partner had to birth a dead baby and filled up with milk she was told to use cabbage leaves. She had to change them as soon as they warmed, and it seemed to help her a lot. They went through no end of cabbages...
