Do you feel unwell and almost without strength? Don't have time to do what you planned, can't concentrate? Do you have to change your plans? Do you understand that you are about to get seriously ill? Are you planning to see a doctor one of these days? Right! But put on wet socks at night today! Yes, yes, exactly wet! Your body will be very grateful to you! And the results will not be long in coming.
The fact is that one of the most effective measures to prevent the development of an emerging disease is to improve metabolism. And the easiest way to do this is to organize a temperature difference sufficient to increase blood circulation in the legs. Ordinary wet socks, worn before going to bed, cope quite effectively with this task.
Benefits of wet feet
The wet socks you sleep in will “work” all night. And the result of their use will be the following.
- Reducing swelling. Systematic expansion and contraction of blood vessels helps maintain their elasticity and prevents blood stagnation in the lower extremities.And this means reducing the risk of developing varicose veins and successfully combating swelling of the legs.
IMPORTANT! With a sharp contraction of blood vessels, blood, which is usually retained in the legs and feet, is redirected to the internal organs.
- Boosting immunity. Along with its influx, metabolism increases, which, in turn, stimulates the immune system. Result: the body more actively resists the emerging disease.
- Improving blood circulation. The subsequent dilation of blood vessels leads to increased blood circulation in the legs, relieving nasal congestion.
- Sound, healthy sleep. If you manage to maintain high heat transfer through the feet for quite a long time, a slight sedative effect occurs: the nervous system relaxes, and the person falls asleep almost instantly. The feet, cooled by evaporating moisture, also guarantee the normalization of the alternation of phases of rapid and deep sleep, which ensures a full restoration of vitality during the night's rest.
"Secrets" of the technique
If you are one of those who are wary of such a non-standard method of preventing the development of colds and viral diseases, use two pairs of socks at once. Some of them are light, cotton. The second ones are thick wool.
You need to wet the “thin” pair, over which you put on the dry “thick” one. Therefore, there will be no excessive hypothermia of the extremities. This means that the proposed technique is at least harmless.
Important! This treatment option is suitable only when the first signs of an impending disease appear. In the midst of a cold, the technique is ineffective, although it can be one of the ways to lower body temperature.
How to use the wet socks healing technique
Brief instructions for using wet socks come down to five main points.
- The legs are lowered into a basin with warm (almost hot) water for 2–3 minutes.
- Cotton couple peeing in cold water.
- Socks are put on warm feet.
- This is followed by a minute cooling in ice water.
- Without taking off your socks, dry your feet with a towel and put on a woolen pair over the existing one.
- After the procedure, you should go to bed. And in the morning it will be possible to evaluate the first results. It is recommended to sleep in wet socks for at least 3 nights in a row. This is exactly how many days the body will need to fully activate the immune system.
