Beyond Breastfeeding: 7 Uses for Your Leftover CaboCréme

CaboCréme is a lifesaver for relieving engorgement and supporting the weaning process, but its benefits don’t stop there.

The cabbage extract in CaboCréme is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which means this cream can be just as useful for other common issues, long after your breastfeeding days are over.

Here are seven surprising ways you can use your leftover CaboCréme to reduce swelling, ease discomfort, and keep feeling your best.

1. Relieve Swelling and Soreness + Minor Sports Injuries 

After having a baby, you’ll inevitably start working out again. CaboCréme can help reduce swelling from minor sports injuries and sore muscles. Cabbage extract has been studied for its ability to minimize inflammation, making it perfect for easing discomfort after hitting the gym.

2. Reduce Under-Eye Puffiness

Sleepless nights are part of the deal when you’re a mom, which can leave your eyes looking a little puffy. Good news! CaboCréme can help here, too. The benefits of cabbage extract are not just for breastfeeding-related swelling; they can work wonders on the delicate skin under your eyes as well. Be sure to avoid getting too close to your eyes, as the skin around your eyes is sensitive. Add a little concealer and no one will know you’ve been up half the night.

3. Soothe Joint Pain

Joint pain can be a frustrating issue, especially as your body adjusts post-pregnancy. Whether it’s from carrying your baby, lifting things around the house, or just the general wear and tear of motherhood, joint pain can slow you down. 

Apply CaboCréme to areas like your knees, wrists, or shoulders, and let the cabbage extract reduce swelling and ease discomfort. The cream can be a great natural alternative to traditional joint pain creams and can help you get back to enjoying your day without the aches and pains holding you back.

4. Ease Hemorrhoid Discomfort

Hemorrhoids are an unfortunate and uncomfortable reality for many moms, particularly after pregnancy and childbirth. The pain and swelling can be difficult to manage, but CaboCréme can help relieve some of the discomfort. Use after our soothing Postpartum Sitz + Bath Salts crafted with Dead Sea salt and cabbage extract for a double whammy to shrink those hemorrhoids right up.
