🧦Ever heard of wet sock therapy?
This is an old-school, naturopathic remedy for stimulating circulation, easing congestion, and even improving sleep.
Here’s how it works and how to do it at home:
1️⃣ Gather the Goods: You’ll need one pair of thin cotton socks, one pair of thick wool socks, a towel, and a bowl of ice water.
2️⃣ Chill Cotton Socks: Soak the cotton socks in ice water.
3️⃣ Warm Your Feet: Soak your feet in a tub of the hottest water you can handle for 5-10 minutes.
4️⃣ Wring the Socks: Squeeze all the water out of the cotton socks until they are just damp. Wringing them out completely is a critical step!
5️⃣ Layer & Sleep: Dry your feet, put on the damp cotton socks, and layer the dry wool socks on top. Then, crawl into bed and let the socks work their magic💫
Wondering how this works?
As your body warms the cold socks, it stimulates circulation, which can relieve congestion and support your immune system. You’ll wake up with dry socks and—hopefully—a refreshed immune response.
