We often hear about grandmother’s remedies, also known simply as “natural remedies”. Some of them are very strange and for this reason may give the impression that they do not work. But in reality, they can really leave you speechless once you try them. In this context, below we will introduce a really incredible and useful remedy for treating some health problems. But let’s take a closer look at what we are talking about and how we can put it into practice.
Why wearing wet socks is good for you
Regardless of the season, for example, in winter and autumn, but also in summer and spring, everyone can struggle with the so-called classic seasonal complaints. And with that, ailments such as colds, sinusitis, sore throats, flu, etc. While on the one hand there are many who resort to medications to feel better, on the other hand many others prefer to avoid taking medications and instead look for beneficial remedies in nature.
So, we are talking about natural remedies, and one of them that seems to work really well is wearing wet socks. In fact, these stimulate both blood circulation and the immune system during the night and therefore during sleep. This natural and effective technique was developed by Dr. Katie Corazzo, a well-known author. The woman spoke about this technique and explained to her supporters how to put it into practice. And at the same time highlight the benefits for men’s health. The doctor highlighted in particular the benefits for the upper respiratory tract.
The benefits for men’s health
But is this practice proposed by Dr. Katie Corazzo really to be considered effective or not? The answer seems to be yes. In fact, many seem to have tried it and remained completely enthusiastic about it. Heartland Naturopathic Clinic also commented on this issue, revealing that wearing wet socks during the night means using a technique called “hydrotherapy”. This is considered particularly helpful for treating a stuffy nose, but also for stimulating the immune system. As mentioned earlier, the benefits seem to be particularly related to the upper respiratory tract. But this practice also seems to work by relieving pain and reducing chills. And with that, a more restful recovery.
Hydrotherapy, and thus the alternation of heat and cold, constricts the blood vessels, which gives the appearance of numerous benefits for men’s health. In any case, however, it is very important to emphasize that it is still advisable to seek the advice of your doctor before using this natural remedy. Especially in the case of diseases of the circulatory system and diseases such as HIV, some types of cancer, diabetes, etc.
How to use wet socks
Now that we have explained why it can be important for our health to wear wet socks at night, it is time to answer another question: “How to wear wet socks?”. So how can this natural remedy be put into practice? In this regard, it can be said that the procedure to be followed is actually very simple, although a bit tedious.
First, you need to take cotton socks and soak them in cold water. And only after you have wrung them out well, you can put them in the refrigerator. In the meantime, you need to fill a bucket with very hot, if not boiling water and soak your feet in it for about 15 minutes. How should we proceed after this time? In fact, you just need to dry your feet and put on the wet socks previously stored in the refrigerator. And also wear wool socks over them. After doing all this, when you go to bed, you just need to wear both socks, that is, the cold and the warm. In the morning you will certainly be able to notice the benefits obtained.
