Sleeping with Wet Socks

Have you ever been so sick you were desperate for remedies? I've had every symptom in the book this week: sinus pain/pressure, drainage, sneezing, sinus headaches, fever, chills, nausea (and after-effects), sore throat, congestion, etc. My good friend, Trisha, heard about a wet sock treatment. I tried it last night. Basically you run a pair of cotton socks under cold water, ring them out, put them on your feet, cover them with a pair of wool socks and sleep this way all night. I tried it last night. Very interesting sensation. At first, it's not a comfortable feeling to fall asleep with wet feet, but as you burrow under the covers, your wet feet get warm and it becomes tolerable. By morning, my feet and both pair of socks were dry.

Did it work? I don't know. I woke up feeling a lot better, but it could be simply that I'm getting better. I'm going to do it again tonight though, in case it is working.

This website explains the wet sock treatment: www.vsnaturopathy.com/Wet-socks.html
(It also points out the importance of warming your feet before putting on the cold, wet socks.)

Sound bizarre? Yeah, I know. But I was that sick! (I also spent all evening tonight drinking mug after mug of hot water, honey, lemon juice and apple cider vinegar.)
