how do i make the gel for homemade cold packs?

Answer 1

For Small Freezer packs: use wash rags, face clothes. Mix 1 part rubbing alcohol with 1 part water to wet entire wash cloth. wrap in sandwich bags and place in freezer. (example 1/4 cup alcohol to 1/4 cup water....)

Can refreeze and reuse.........

Answer 2

hey have you ever thought of taking apart a clean disposable diaper and using the absorbent stuff inside. put it in a Ziploc and add water, stick it in the freezer. make 3 or 4 and you should have all you need.

Answer 3

the easiest thing is to wrap crushed Ice in a thin dish towel and apply that to the wound for no more than 20 min. and no less than 15 min.
the water that soaks through the towel will help with the cooling.
