Wet socks can be applied to prevent such conditions as headaches, ear infections, sore throats, colds, flu, lung problems, and even hormonal imbalances because the treatment urges the body's own immune system and defenses to act by stimulating blood and lymph flow. It enhances overall circulation and waste elimination.

Wet socks treatments are best done just before going to bed, leaving them on while sleeping. While worn, the cold socks will be dried by the body's circulating blood.

YOU WILL NEED:

Ice Cold Water
A Pair of Light-Weight ALL COTTON socks
A pair of Heavy-Weight ALL WOOL socks

DIRECTIONS:

• Make sure your feet are warm BEFORE beginning the treatment and you will be able to sleep long enough to COMPLETELY dry the socks
• Soak cotton socks in ICE COLD water (or keep a pair in the freezer), wring out well so not dripping, and put on the feet
• Put the wool socks over the cotton ones, completely covering the cotton socks over the ankle
• Leave on overnight, or remove when the cotton socks are dry
• Make sure your feet are warm and dry before removing the socks

Also consider wet t-shirts and underwear when treating the chest and pelvic areas, or be creative and use cut up cotton and woolen clothing for custom compresses.
