History
Cabbage has been cultivated, and even revered, as a vegetable by the ancient Greeks as far back as 2600 years ago, and it has also had a long history of medicinal use. There are scores of references to its use for such diverse purposes as the prevention of drunkenness, headache, stomach ailments, and even cancer. Cabbage leaves have long been used as poultices for application to tumors, and even in modern times, they have been under investigation as a means for preventing or treating breast engorgement in nursing mothers.
