Cold Wet Socks

Quick reminder on cold wet sock technique to decrease nasal and chest congestion and get the circulation moving when you are feeling under the weather. First take a 5 minute hot foot bath. Next dip cotton socks in ice cold water and wring them out. Place them on your feet and then put warm woolly socks on top of the cold wet socks. Go to bed and in the morning your congestion will be at least 80% better and the socks will be completely dry. I know it sounds crazy but just try it. It's based on the principles of hydrotherapy and works every time.
