Try the Warming Socks Treatment

 

Cold and flu season has arrived! If you feel a cold starting to set

in - sore throat, slight fever, sinus congestion, heaviness - a

warming socks treatment can help to jump-start your immune system.

 

The best thing about the warming sock treatment is that it's free.

All you need are a pair of socks and water. It is an easy home

remedy you can try.

how to do a warming sockstreatment.

 

Procedure:

 

1. If your feet are cool or cold it is important to warm them first.

This is very important as the treatment will not be as effective and

could be harmful. Warming can be accomplished by soaking in warm

water for 5-10 minutes.

 

2. Next, take a pair of thin cotton socks and thoroughly wet all but

the ankle portion with cold water.

 

3. Place the cold wet socks on your feet. Cover with thick wool

socks. Go to bed with plenty of blankets. Avoid getting chilled.

 

You will find that the wet cotton socks will be dry in the morning.

Many patients report that they sleep much better during the

treatment.
