Why do they use cabbage leaves to help stop breastfeeding?

Application of cabbage leaves treats swelling. It can be used for a twisted ankle, for instance, as well as to stop milk production. When the breasts stop swelling, milk production drops. And, no, it is *not* an old wive's tale. It is, in fact, used in some hospitals to *safely* help dry up a mother's milk supply when she chooses not to nurse or (in very limited amounts) to treat engorgement. All the drugs that have been used in the past have had terrible side effects--death chief among them--so cabbage is a great alternative.
