Studies suggest that fermented cabbage may be even healthier than the raw vegetables, with increased levels of anti-cancer agents. Its consumption is recommended for flu prevention, as a digestive regulator and for respiratory diseases, and anemia. But its most popular use as a major remedy against hangover, it drives away the headache, and neutralizes the effects of alcohol on the digestive tract and cleans the liver.
