Hydrotherapy utilizes both cold and warm water soaks. The warm water soak helps improve circulation, while the cold water soak helps reduce symptoms.

• Fill 2 foot tubs or basins – one with cold water and the other with warm water.

• Then, switch to the warm water basin for 1 minute.
• Continue alternating between the two basins for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Pat dry immediately and put on warm socks.
• Repeat a few times daily until you get relief.

Note: You can mix a few drops of ginger, rosemary, peppermint or cypress essential oil in the water.
