When is green cabbage recommended for treating breast engorgement?

  1. To increase milk production

  2. To prevent dehydration

  3. To decrease swelling

  4. To promote weight gain in the infant

The correct answer is: To decrease swelling

Green cabbage is recommended for treating breast engorgement because it can help decrease swelling and inflammation in the breasts. Placing chilled green cabbage leaves on engorged breasts can provide relief by constricting blood vessels and reducing swelling. This can help alleviate the discomfort and pain associated with engorgement. Green cabbage is not recommended for increasing milk production, preventing dehydration, or promoting weight gain in the infant.
