Cold washcloths are cloths soaked in cold water, often used to provide relief from heat or discomfort. They can help cool down the body during hot weather or after physical activity. People commonly place them on their foreheads, necks, or wrists to reduce body temperature and promote comfort. In addition to cooling, cold washcloths can also soothe minor injuries, such as bumps or bruises. The cold temperature helps reduce swelling and numbs pain. They are a simple and effective home remedy that can be easily prepared with just water and a clean cloth.
