Cabage leaves will take out body water/fluids?

Question

My friend "swears" this works...she said if you have a lot of water. to spread raw and "cold" cabbage leaves on ur body...overnight the cabbage leaves take out the water....all of it! Has anyone tried it? Does it work? I retain water all the time.

Answer 1

I think that is an example of the "cure" being almost as bad as the disease...provided it even worked. Excess fluid is not usually lost through the skin. Try to avoid doing the things that cause you to have fluid retention. Good luck.
