Iceing: Effectively & economically at home. #5973
To reduce the inflammation and swelling of a body part, the application of ICE is usually recommended in the first 72 hours. Take a big bag of frozen peas out of the freezer. So, as not to burn the skin, place a damp paper towel over the region of the pease application area. Then apply and CONFORM the pease to the body part with a LITTLE preasure, like wrapping in on to conform with an ace bandage. NEVER apply ice greater than 20 minutes at a time. Ice has the effect of heat after 20 minutes and will cause greater inflammation (The Hunting reflex).
