Aluminum foil for pain relief?

Asked by bewailknot (2899points) April 23rd, 2012

A coworker told me she was using strips of aluminum foil taped around her fingers to relieve pain. She sleeps with it on, and if you get it wet you have to replace it. She had a chart of a hand and the places on the body affected by the foil, like the end of the thumb affects the foot, the middle finger affects the head.

Has anyone tried this?
