Do you often add layers of socks to keep your feet warm? Are you tired of trying numerous techniques, such as using compression stockings, putting cayenne pepper in your socks, or hydrating to no avail? If so, I have a unique and surprisingly effective solution.
Let me introduce you to cold therapy, which involves exercising your arteries to improve circulation. I know what you’re thinking, “how could adding more cold possibly help my already freezing feet?” But bear with me; this technique has been proven to warm up your feet and hands over time.
You’ll need a bucket and some ice to get started. Fill the bucket one-third full with ice and the rest with water. Then, submerge your feet and hands into the icy water for one to two minutes. This action exercises the smooth muscle in your arteries, which makes it possible for them to contract and relax. The contraction is known as vasoconstriction, while the relaxation is called vasodilation.
The cold therapy technique creates a hermetic effect on your feet and hands, which seems stressful, but your body will adapt to the mild stress over time. Not only will this treatment increase mitochondria in your blood vessels, but it also enhances oxygen circulation. The best part is that the therapy helps the autonomic nervous system, improving temperature regulation in your feet and hands.
As someone who used to have cold feet all the time, I was skeptical at first but decided to give it a try. And boy, was I surprised! My feet were noticeably warmer after trying the cold therapy technique for just a few days. I know it seems counter-intuitive to add cold to an already chilly body part, but it’s important to remember that sometimes unconventional methods are the best.
It’s essential to note that the results of cold therapy could take a few days or even a couple of weeks to show. So, don’t lose heart and stick with it. You’ll be surprised at the positive results.
I love using out-of-the-box treatments to alleviate pain or discomfort; it comes from my years of experience as a chiropractor. When patients came to me with a chronic pain problem, I’d work on the opposite side of their body, and the results were remarkable. The same goes for this cold therapy technique. It might seem strange, but it’s proven to work in practice.
I remember one particular patient, an opera singer who had flown in from out of state to see me. She suffered from a scratchy throat and hoarseness in her voice, which could lead to a canceled performance if not remedied. After some treatments on the back part of her neck, she experienced significant improvement in just two days. She could perform at her event without any issues.
Incorporating unusual treatments and unconventional methods can save you from much agony. If you’re tired of wearing heaps of socks or putting your feet next to a heater in the morning, try this treatment, and let me know what you think in the comments section.

Summary of Transcript:
The video discusses a common problem of cold feet and hands and offers a unique and inexpensive solution. The problem might be caused by various conditions such as thyroid, circulation, or nerve problems. However, the suggested solution involves exercising the arteries at the base level by immersing the feet and hands in ice-cold water for a minute or two a day. This technique helps increase the mitochondria and oxygen circulation in the blood vessels, which can enhance the overall autonomic nervous system. Despite this method sounding daunting, the speaker recommends people try it as it helps the body adapt and can prolong-lasting the results.
