In Japan, there is a health management method called “Cold Removing Method” (Hietori Kenkou-hou) by warming your feet with silk socks. Recently, socks and leggings are very popular among women in their 30s to 50s to do the Cold Removing Method.


Q. What is “cold”?

A. It’s a toxin that has been accumulated in your body.
It’s not only about people with cold fingers and toes; did you know that there are many people having a cold body without even noticing it?
Modern people live in very comfortable environment with the air conditioner, so thermoregulatory function is getting weaker. In addition, it’s now very common for people to ride convenient vehicles; so many people don’t get enough exercise. Eat sweets and convenience food that makes your body colder, dress lightly for fashion, or get stressed out at work, housekeeping, or child care. Those kinds of living can lead to an imbalanced autonomic nervous system and make your blood circulation worse. If you have a poor circulation, it gets more difficult to excrete a toxin from your body. That toxin is the cause of cold body.
People with a cold body have colder lower body temperature compared to the upper body. Internal organs are also colder than the surface of the body. Cold body can cause pretty familiar symptoms like headaches, backaches, stiff shoulders, constipation, pimples, or skin spots. Even serious diseases like digestive disturbance, kidney disease, heart disease, dysuria, cancer, depression, or rheumatism can be caused by having a cold body.



Q. How can we remove “cold”?

A. Wearing silk and keeping your lower body warm are the two important points.
Yoshiharu Shindo, who is an advocate of this Cold Removing Method and also was a reliable doctor, recommends a life style mentioned below to remove cold from your body.
1. Take a half bath and warm yourself.
2. Wear two pairs of socks, silk ones and natural fiber ones on top of them.
3. Keep your head cold and feet warm; wear comfortable clothes made of natural fibers.
4. Carefully select your food and don’t eat too much.
5. Stop thinking selfishly and keep yourself calm.
If you do these things, a toxic in your body will be excreted and your body will get warmer.
You may think, “Do thoughts really relate to it?” But Shindo says the mind is closely related to the body, so arrogance, mercilessness, selfishness, and greediness would make your internal organs cold. As you can tell, don’t we feel better when we are in a good mood?
When Shindo was working as a vice director of Osaka City Hospital, he advised his patients to do the Cold Removing Method. Their symptoms improved dramatically, and their visit to the hospital and the dosage decreased a lot that the hospital’s financial management became in trouble. This story would tell how effective the Cold Removing Method is.
However, it is difficult to control your feeling all of a sudden. So, we recommend you to try wearing two socks or wearing natural fibers first. Especially, wearing silk socks and natural fiber socks on top of them is very easy to start with. Isn’t it great if you feel better and get rid of all those symptoms that medicine didn’t work from you, just by changing how to wear socks? Why don’t you remove cold and have a great smile again?
