What You’ll Need
Heavy-duty aluminum foil (standard thickness)
Cotton socks (to prevent direct skin contact)
Timer (critical—never exceed 15 mins!)
Step-by-Step
Prep: Sit comfortably. Wipe feet dry (moisture reduces conductivity).
Wrap:
Cut 2 sheets of foil (12″x12″).
Place feet sole-down on foil.
Fold foil upward around ankles (no gaps!).
Key: Overlap seams by 2″ (creates a sealed “cage”).
Cover: Pull cotton socks over foil.
Relax: Elevate feet 6″ above heart level for 10 minutes.
Unwrap: Discard foil (reusing traps bacteria). Rinse feet.
⚠️ Critical: Never exceed 15 mins—prolonged use can cause nerve irritation.
🌿 When to Try It (and When to Skip)
• Morning foot stiffness
• Open wounds/cuts
• Post-workout muscle soreness
• Diabetic neuropathy
• Mild arthritis flares
• Metal implants in feet
• Jet lag-related aches
• Pregnancy (consult doc first)
💡 Pro tip: Add 1 drop of peppermint oil to foil before wrapping—doubles circulation boost!

“After 3 years of plantar fasciitis, I tried foil wraps on a whim. Woke up pain-free the next day. Now I do it before runs!”
