∙ 11y ago- Ice pack
- This is the good old standby. Use a commercially prepared ice pack, or put crushed ice from your freezer in a sealable bag with a little water.
- Conformable Ice-Pack
- Another great trick is to buy an old-fashioned hot water bottle and fill it part-way with a mixture of water and alcohol. Put it in your freezer for a few hours, and it's ready to go. Because of the alcohol, it won't ever freeze completely, making it able conform to your body better than a solid block of ice. Return it to your freezer when you're done. (And keep it where small children can't get to it.)
- Conformable Ice-Pack 2
- Dedicate a bag of frozen peas for the purpose of injury treatment. They also conform well to body contours. Mark the bag with a permanent marker, because the peas will be melting and re-freezing multiple times--not something you'd want to serve for dinner.
- Ice Massage
- Freeze water in a small paper cup. Peel the top of the paper cup away and use the remaining paper as a kind of handle to help you hold on to the ice. Place a towel under the area you'll be treating. Massage the ice over the injury for five minutes or until the area is numb. Keep the ice moving slowly and steadily. This is great for tendonitis and smaller areas, and can provide considerable pain relief.
Icing Safely
A few tips will help you use ice safely:
- Don't put ice directly on your skin (except in the case of ice massage, when you're constantly moving it). Keep a barrier of cloth between you and the ice.
- Apply ice until the area feels numb, but no more than 15 minutes at a time. Remove the ice after numbness sets in. You can actually cause yourself frost-bite by icing too long.
- Don't use ice if you have rheumatoid arthritis, Raynaud's Syndrome, cold-allergic conditions (e.g. ice causes you to break out in hives), paralysis, or areas that don't have full sensation.
