Warming Socks Treatment
Procedure:
1. If your feet are cool or cold it is important to warm them first. This is crucial for the effectiveness of the treatment. Soaking in warm water for 5-10 minutes or taking a bath or shower can accomplish warming.
2. Next, take a pair of cotton socks and get them wet with ice-cold water. Be sure to wring the socks out thoroughly until they feel wet, but not dripping.
3. Place the cold wet socks on your feet. Cover with thick wool socks or other warm socks. Go to bed or wrap up with a warm blanket. Avoid getting chilled. You can wear the socks all night or take them off 30-60 minutes later.
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.
