Three to four inches of cold water at a temperature of 7.2 ºC to 12.7º C should be placed in a tiny tub or container. The feet should be totally engrossed in the water for one to five minutes. Resistance should be incessantly applied to the feet during the bath, either by an assistant or by the patient by friction one foot against the other.

sprains, strains and inflamed bunions when taken for longer time. It should not be taken in cases of provocative circumstances of the genitourinary organs, liver and kidneys.
