How to make your own Ice Slush Pack at Home:

Picture
1.  Place two (2) parts water to one (1) part rubbing alcohol in a Ziplock freezer bag.   Place this bag inside another bag to prevent leakage.

2. To prevent accidental ingestion, write  on the bag with a permanent marker a message such  as “Do Not Eat – Poison”

3.  Place in freezer. Mixture will become slushy in the freezer.

When using your new home-made Ice Slush Pack:

Place a cool, moist cloth over the area of pain and mold the ice slush over the cloth.  Leave on  10 – 15 minutes. 

Reuse the ice pack every 2-3  hours as needed for pain or swelling.

Keep in the freezer when not in use.
