Potential causes:

• Viral infection, Hay fever

What you can do yourself:

You can treat the nasal symptoms of a cold by bathing your feet and lower legs in warm water for ten minutes, increasing the temperature gradually. You should begin with moderately warm water and add hot water repeatedly until the temperature is as high as you can stand. This ‘sweating cure’ can be rendered even more effective by adding two tablespoons of black mustard flour. After 10 minutes, rinse the feet with clear, lukewarm water and rub them with mallow oil.
