When to Use Cold Sock Therapy: At the onset of a cold or flu To reduce sinus congestion or chest tightness To support recovery during fevers (when there are no chills) Benefits of Cold Sock Therapy: Cold sock therapy, also known as the “wet sock treatment,” is a hydrotherapy technique rooted in naturopathic medicine. It stimulates the immune system and promotes circulation, aiding recovery from illnesses like colds, flu, and respiratory issues. Key Benefits: Boosts Immune Function: Activates the body’s defense mechanisms, helping to fight infections. Improves Circulation: The contrasting temperatures encourage blood flow, reducing congestion in the upper body and bringing fresh blood to vital organs. Reduces Fever: Helps regulate body temperature by drawing heat away from the head and chest. Relieves Sinus and Chest Congestion: Encourages lymphatic drainage and reduces inflammation, easing symptoms of colds and sinus infections. Promotes Relaxation and Better Sleep: The therapy has a calming effect, helping the body rest and recover. Cheers Lizzie
