Warming socks are best done right before getting into bed. They work by promoting circulation of blood and lymph through the body and reflexively open and relax the upper part of the body. They are very good for boosting immunity at the beginning of or during a cold, relieving headaches, opening clogged sinuses, and creating overall relaxation in the body.
- Put a pair of thin cotton socks in some cold water in the sink.
- While your socks are soaking, soak your feet for 3 minutes in a hot foot bath, or get them warm in a hot shower. If your cotton socks will come above your ankles, get your feet and lower legs warm.
- Dry your feet well.
- Wring out the socks very well. You want them cold, not wet.
- Put the thin cotton socks on over your warm, dry feet.
- Put a pair of heavy socks (wool works well) on over the cotton socks.
- Get into bed.
