Ice Pack

These are ice pack "recipes" - I was told how to make these for my husband after surgery. I double bag these and use gallon size bags. External Use Only - goes without saying! Note: Never apply an ice pack directly to the skin as it can cause frostbite. Always(!!!) wrap ice packs in a towel or cloth before applying to skin!

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 2
• Yields: 2 ice packs

Ingredients

•  liquid dish soap
•  water
•  alcohol

Directions

1. Palmolive Bag.
2. Use the green liquid dish soap - Palmolive.
3. Don't dilute, just put into your zip lock bag, double bag and freeze, maybe reused several times. Makes a nice bag that molds to the affected area.
4. Alcohol Bag.
5. Use rubbing alcohol.
6. 1 part alcohol and 2 parts water. Freeze and use. (this is my favorite).
7. If it's too stiff, add more alcohol, too mushy - add more water.
