The Wet Sock Method
The Wet Sock Method
Ah the wet sock method… This one has to be one of my favorite naturopathic & hydrotherapy cold/flu remedies I have ever heard of – ok some of you might say Tylenol or Advil.. but seriously, this one acts as a true helper when you're sick. How does it work you might say? it's truly fascinating.. So it basically acts as an immune system stimulater, by wearing the pair of wet socks, your body reacts to the cold socks and focuses on warming up your feet by increasing blood circulation – when this happens, your immune system is also stimulated. Ok there's way more to this than meets the eye, so here's a bunch of articles I found on the web, you can also do your own research… But based off personal experience, I've done this method over 20 times and I literally feel like a new man the day after. Please ask me any questions!https://bastyr.edu/news/health-tips/2009/11/dive-feet-first-wellness-natural-remedyhttps://draliciacole.com/wet-sock-treatment/
Instructions
- 1 pair of 100% cotton socks (mid to low calf)

- Dry up after your shower or bath
- Dip those cotton socks into cold water that has ice in it
- Mix them around for a bit, pull them out, then squeeze dry them a couple time
- Make sure you've squeezed most of the water out from the cold wet socks
- Put those wet socks on, then also add the wool socks over the wet cotton socks. Then bed time…
- Keep those socks on the entire night… By the time you wake up in the morning, the socks will be completely dry and warm
