Wet Sock for Fever

A wet sock treatment involves wearing a wet sock to boost immune function. It can be used for fevers, colds and flu. The rationale is that the wet socks stimulate the body to heat up the sock and when the feet come in contact with the wet socks it will increase circulation.

Materials

• Cotton socks

• Wool socks

Method

1. Use a pair of cotton socks and wring them out in cold tap water.

2. Put on the wet socks.

3. Put on a pair of thick wool socks over the wet socks.

4. Keep the socks on for 20 minutes or until the wet socks are warmed to body temperature, then remove.

5. This will gently bring a fever down about 0.5 F degree and is useful against various infections of the ear, nose and throat.
