Benefits
· According to Dr.Garneth Cheney, California, cabbage is a sure remedy for duodenal     and gastric ulcers.
· The iron in cabbage is easily assimilated and, hence, helpful for anemic patients
· Helpful in arthritis and obesity
· Improves defective vision, pyorrhea, and chronic digestion problems

The vitamin A content is only found in the outer leaves of cabbage, and so is the percentage of iron. So, the outer leaves should not be discarded in favor of the tender inner leaves. Dr.Cheney had suggested drinking 450 ml of cabbage juice to 65 patients of ulcer at intervals of a few hours everyday. Those who underwent the treatment reported marked reduction in pain within five days, and were healed in the second week.
