With the foot baths, everything is clear, pour hot water into the bucket or bucket in the bucket on the ankle, you need a little patience. As we cool down, hot water is poured. The duration of the bath is from 15 to 20 minutes. After the procedure we will put on two socks: cotton thin socks, and on top we will put on woolen socks and we will lay down in bed. Or in the socks we will fill the mustard powder. It's easy - pour dry mustard into your socks and walk in them the whole evening. You can go to bed in them.
Compresses are a delicate procedure. But we better wrap our throat with a warm scarf. Alcohol compresses can burn the skin of the neck.
