A Forgotten Home Remedy

Before the invention of antibiotics, people in Europe cured their colds by dunking their arms in hot water. It induced a short-term high fever and was believed to rid the body of toxins. Follow the steps below to cure a cold and sleep well, too:

  • Place a chair in front of your vanity’s sink and stack a couple of pillows on the seat so that you can sit comfortably in from of the sink, as if you were at your desk.
  • Pin your hair back or put it in a ponytail (most gentlemen will not have to do so) and roll your sleeves up. Check the clock, as this should not take longer than twenty minutes.
  • Fill the basin with hot water and add scented oils of your choice.
  • Cover your head and face with a fresh towel.
  • Cross your arms in front of you and submerge them into the sink.
  • Every five minutes, raise the temperature of the water by adding more from the hot water tap.
  • When your twenty minutes are up, get up, dry off your arms and face, get into you pajamas and go to bed. You should sleep like a baby and wake up full of energy.
