- Next, take a pair of cotton socks and get them wet with cold water. Be sure to wring the socks out thoroughly.
- Place the cold wet socks on your feet. Cover with thick wool socks. Go to bed. Avoid getting chilled.
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.
