Hot Socks cold remedy

The Magic Socks treatment is so simple that I was thinking, How can this possibly work?  Well, this is how… The Magic Socks treatment can be used if you are experiencing a sore throat or any inflammation of the throat, neck pain, ear infections, headaches, migraines, nasal congestion, upper-respiratory infections, coughs, bronchitis and sinus infections.  It stimulates the production and activity of white blood cells in your body, increases circulation and decreases congestion in the upper respiratory passages, head and throat.  In laymen’s terms (and how it was explained to me), because you have the cold, wet socks on, your body redirects the bloodflow down to your feet to heat the socks up, thus, directing the bloodflow away from the congestion in the upper part of your body, which translates into you feeling better.  Just a note:  This can be sedating, and some people state that they sleep much better during the treatment.

What you will need for the Magic Socks treatment:

1 pair 100% white cotton socks **
1 pair 100% wool socks **
Towel
Warm bath or warm foot bath

**It is VERY important that the socks are 100% wool and 100% cotton.  If it is a blend of materials, Magic Socks may not work.**

Directions:
1. Take a pair of 100% white cotton socks and soak the foot area completely with cold water, trying to keep the ankle dry. Ring the socks out thoroughly so they do not drip.
2. Warm your feet first. This is very important, as the treatment will not be as effective and could be harmful if your feet are not warmed first. Warming can be accomplished by soaking your feet in warm water for at least 5 to 10 minutes or taking a warm bath for 5 to 10 minutes. Your feet should be a warm “pink” color when they are finished soaking.
3. Next, dry off your feet and body with a dry towel.
4. Then place the cold, wet 100% cotton socks on feet. Cover with your thick, dry 100% wool socks.

5.  Next, go directly to bed to avoid getting chilled.

6. Lastly, keep both pairs of socks on overnight.  The magic part of Magic Socks?  The cold, wet 100% cotton socks will be completely dry in the morning when you wake up!  Yes, it is magic.  :0)
Please note:  The Magic Socks treatment should be repeated three nights in a row for best results.

Feel better.
