Homemade Gel Ice Pack
1 cup Rubbing Alcohol
3 cups Water
2 Ziploc Freezer Bags (1 gallon size)
Empty alcohol into first freezer bag, add water. Zip bag most of the way closed, then squeeze out extra air. Zip completely closed. Place first bag into second bag. Squeeze out air and zip closed.
Lay bag flat in freezer and freeze for 2-3 hours. Alcohol prevents water from freezing into an ice cube and will become a gel.
When ready to use, place bag in pillowcase or t-shirt* and place directly over painful area. Mold it to the area.
Treatment time: 10-15 minutes, use as needed.
*Never place ice pack directly onto bare skin.
