Claims floating around social media calling cabbage or onion broth "natural morphine" are complete medical sensationalism. While cabbage contains anti-inflammatory compounds and antioxidants that support general wellness, it does not act on opioid receptors or relieve joint pain like pain medication.
That said, cabbage and onion soup is a warm, low-carb, and cozy dish. Here is how to make it.
Healing Slow Cooker Cabbage & Garlic Soup
Ingredients
* Base Vegetable: 1 head green cabbage, chopped

* Fat & Acid: 2 tbsp olive oil or butter, 1 tbsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
