How To Make A Homemade Ice Pack
- Use a Double Zipper ZipLoc Freezer bag, of appropriate size
- Fill bag 45% with water
- Add 22% of volume with Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol
- Seal bag as you squeeze as much air out of bag as possible.
- Shake bag to mix up the contents
- Put in freezer (it should become a slush consistency when ready for use)
- Apply ice bag to injured area for 30 minutes only at a time
CAUTION: Because you are using a plastic bag out of the freezer, be sure to put one layer of damp cloth between the ice bag and your skin to prevent a burn.
Return ice bag to freezer for future use
