Instructions
- Prepare the Cabbage Leaves:

- Apply to Joints:
- Place the softened cabbage leaf directly on the affected joint.
- For added benefits, apply a thin layer of honey, apple cider vinegar, or olive oil before placing the leaf.
- Secure the Wrap:
- Wrap the area with plastic wrap or gauze to keep the leaf in place.
- Leave it on for 1–2 hours or overnight for deeper absorption.
- Repeat as Needed:
- Use daily for best results.
