Ice–or in this case cold water–can be your friend when it comes to reducing pain overall. But you already know I’m a fan. In this case, cold water (much more tolerable to most) is the cause for cheer.

Natural Health Magazine recently posted on a cold water treatment that claims to reduce one’s chance of catching a cold by 40 percent. Forty percent! Because it’s contast therapy (hot then cold water application) it won’t leave your treeth chattering either? The following is their suggested treatment:

Fill two tubs with water, one at around 70 degrees (temperatures lower than that aren’t advised for at-home foot baths), the other around 100 degrees. First place both feet into the warm bath and let them soak for three minutes. Afterward, move feet into the cool water for one minute, then place them back into the warm water. Repeat this jump from warm to cold water three times.
