3 parts water, 1 part rubbing alcohol. Got it, thank you!! And yes, humor is the greatest healer of them all - directly after love & compassion. You rock, doc.
@@rnze2249Think of it this way: 3 cups of water, and 1cup of alcohol. Or, 1/2 cups of water (3), plus 1/2cup of alcohol (1). It depends on how much you want it to be. Hope this helps.
Thank you Dr. for always being a bright star, to the many who cannot afford doctors fees, medicines, and supplement costs etc. You are a gem...bless you🤗
I would like to add that it’s helpful to double bag, as in put the (closed) top of the filled bag into another (same-sized) ziplock bag. Just in case there is ever any leakage, you can see it before it starts making a mess. (Especially if you do add any food coloring to the mix.)
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us doc 🙏 I just bought an ice pack for $20 and it not as effective as this home made ice pack.... Also, I really appreciate you getting to point with healthy life savings and helpful information... You are my Doctor for life..... Blessings
I feel much better getting information and tutorials like this from a doctor than just some random person. Thank you for the help. My face has been very puffy lately due to allergies, and only ice packs have helped. The only problem is that the ice face masks I have take some time to soften up. With this I can put it into a second ziploc bag with a paper towel under it. Thank you so much for this
My mom did this for dad when he had rotator cuff surgery. He loved it and he healed so well by using this and doing his exercises. Thank you for the reminder now that my husband pulled a muscle in his back.
You take your doctors oath seriously and are a giving human being many prayers from your audience are seen on your comments so your being given many good loving thoughts of thanks for your giving us your kind knowledge Thank you , a happy follower
What do you mean ‘if we love you’ you know we love you ❤️❤️❤️ Now I know what’s n my awesome gel pack that so easily conforms to where ever I need it to. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Thanks for this Brother and I do Love Ya in the Lord. Slammed my knee last night and its swollen. Gonna do this right now . I know, I know shouldve do it last night but I didnt know how ;-) my bad...got to get to work...God Bless You and Yours Brother !!!
I just want to say thank you Dr Alan Mandel. It has been wonderful coming across you in this globe. Thank you for all you do, make it a great day.and God bless.
Good 2kno, So simple to do ✔ Tks, Dr Mandell, for all your insightful alternative techniques for managing good health. It's so helpful for the mind, body and soul. Especially, instead of unnecessary harmful drugs and medicine. ✔
I went one step further mixed up the water/alcohol mix & let orbeez soak in it till they were huge and made many ice packs! Perfect for ling day icing . Plus you can use them for storm season! & the orbeez I have many uses for😉‼
You are fantastic! I have watched so many of your videos, and each one has helped me. Adding alcohol to the Ziploc to make it flexible - oh my goodness - what a great idea! I used a Frozen gel pack and it was so hard and uncomfortable As someone commented earlier, you give us things that aren’t going to cost us a fortune. Anywhere else that we would go for help, would have us come in, so we can pay for an office. visit. God bless you!
1. With the other kind of alcohol, you may still be able to numb pain. However, it does not reduce swelling. 2. If you have a vacuum sealer in your house, you can make these last a LONG time!
I learned to make these at my hand surgeons office that's all that his physical therapist used . The pre made ones cost a fortune besides these were so much better . He was not joking about a layer between the pack and the skin I used thin handtowels and they would freeze to the pack . And they last for hours .
It's a cool way of make ice quickly, and I'd like to give it a shot! Thanks, Dr. Alan Mandell, this is my first time to learn such a unique way of manufacturing ice fast. How special!
Thank you doctor! 😄 Can you also teach us how to make our lungs stronger? This is the weakest part of my body and every year I have asthma eventhough I take pills and inhaler.Have a good way! 🌞
Contrast showers. 4 minutes hot. 1 minute cold. 3 minutes hot. 1 minute cold. 3 minutes hot. 1 minute cold. End with hot or warm water. Only precaution is if you have certain heart conditions that might be affected.
I suggest that you all do your research. I recently came across a video and looked into it further. Icing may help with the pain but it actually slows down the helping process. It may help in the first few minutes to reduce swelling but heat is what should actually be used. The icing causes pooling and does not help with inflammation. So you're actually not allowing the body to heal. Heat and resting the injured area are what is needed. Please check it out for yourselves. Just google heat or ice for injuries or Manu Kalia.
I love this idea and I use isopropyl for cleaning. But, it’s impossible to find now. Almost worse than the toilet paper shortage. Thanks for all u do, doc! Take care!! ❤️
what about using vegetable glycerin or propylene glycol? thicket viscosity and also used as a solvent for cooling systems...and anti freeze in vehicles, non toxic.
Thank you Dr. for this perfect video I needed at this moment! My puffy eyes and cheeks! I’m running 🏃♂️ to the store for zip lock baggies and for apple cider vinegar w/ the mother!, because I also just watched your video for that ! 🙏♥️ THANK YOU!
Amazing. This video reminds me of the intro to Mr. Rogers show, all you had to do was start to sing " It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautifil day in the neighborhood, won't you be mine. Won't you be mine". 😀
Hot and cold pack contrast therapy works better. Start 2 minutes cold, then 2 minutes hot. Do that for 4 cycles 3 times a day and you will be amazed. The cold reduces inflammation and the heat improves circulation/speeds healing. Works on everything from sprained ankles to spraibed jaw muscles (TMJ). With TMJ you'll feel better in 1 week and should be back to normal by 2 weeks.
I was at the Walmart Neighborhood Market in our area a couple of weeks ago. I was talking to the young stock clerk about not being able to find any alcohol and that I just wanted some for my house, not for hand sanitizer. He said I needed to be there first thing in the morning to get that kind of thing. But then the lady behind the nearby pharmacy counter called me over and gave me a bottle that she had back there. That was so sweet of her! So ask at the counter. Maybe they keep some for people who really need it.
Me: After chugging sodas from several small plastic bottles (not all at once), I put water in them and put them in the freezer. Reusable, doesn't leak, and instead of water... you can put juice in them so you can drink it later after its melted and while it's still cold. Yeah! Rehydrate afterwards!!!
It's difficult to find isopropyl alcohol just like hand sanitizer these days because of the CV. It's almost like they stopped making these things they are that hard to find.
It doesn't matter, it will be heavily diluted by the water anyways. The alcohol is just meant to keep the water from freezing into a hard ice. It will make it's more like a slushy consistency but allow it to be just as cold.
3 parts water, 1 part rubbing alcohol. Got it, thank you!! And yes, humor is the greatest healer of them all - directly after love & compassion. You rock, doc.
How do you measure 3 parts water 1 part alcohol?
@@rnze2249an example would be 3 cups of water to 1 cup of alcohol. Or 3/4 cup of water to 1/4 c of alcohol. So forth and so on. Hope this helps.

I've said it before. You are a genius that GOD sent to help us heal naturally. Thank you so much and GOD bless.
agree with every word
Here we go again. GOD does not exist.
I'd bet the Doc doesn't believe in any judeo-Christian version of "God"
Krishna bless ur sir
Thank you Dr. for always being a bright star, to the many who cannot afford doctors fees, medicines, and supplement costs etc. You are a gem...bless you🤗
Definitely recommend using breast milk bags, I haven’t had one leak at all!

If desperate, use pack of frozen peas.. Since pandemic not able to by rubbing alcohol. Thanks for all your advice..

Greetings to Pakistan from the UK. Gareth
Just what the dr ordered ! This is great , you’re a genius! Thanks for sharing !
Headaches: it depends on the type of headache. Some are brought on by constricted blood vessels. You don’t want ice on that type of headache.
What do you mean ‘if we love you’ you know we love you ❤️❤️❤️
Now I know what’s n my awesome gel pack that so easily conforms to where ever I need it to.

Thats true Doc....I was in college as a student athletic trainer and we always use ice for acute injuries.....never use hot for acute injuries
It's a cool way of make ice quickly, and I'd like to give it a shot! Thanks, Dr. Alan Mandell, this is my first time to learn such a unique way of manufacturing ice fast. How special!

Before trying the contrast showers... Ask the doctors first... Get several opinions on this.
Thank you Doctor. God Bless you abundantly.
You're a good man. I am going to do it. Thanks!
Great application of treatment with home made ice packs.
Exelent video thank you so much God bless you

Thanks for making the video. I've been waking up with puffy eyes.
Yup never put heat on swelling. It increases blood flow. Ice slows down the blood flow and numbs the pain which causes the swelling to go down faster
I love this idea and I use isopropyl for cleaning. But, it’s impossible to find now. Almost worse than the toilet paper shortage. Thanks for all u do, doc! Take care!! ❤️
Thank you Dr. Mandell for the info especially the paper towel between the skin 👍🏼

have a gggreat day. 👍😃
Oh my goodness thank you so much I just got eye surgery so thank you sooo much
In my freezer there's always a bag of frozen peas. That's the best thing for sore muscles
Awesome advice !!! Gracias from Colombia !
Good tip. Thanks!
Thsts amazing. Thanks doctor 👏

Would love to make this, but haven’t been able to find alcohol since the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak. Not this kind of alcohol, anyway. 😆
Use vodka!
No kidding!
And I love you baby, dr. Mandel wow!
Rubbibg alcohol can be found in medical stores. It is 70 percent alcohol. Not sure of amount of alcohol in vodka.
I was at the Walmart Neighborhood Market in our area a couple of weeks ago. I was talking to the young stock clerk about not being able to find any alcohol and that I just wanted some for my house, not for hand sanitizer.

Always great tips...thank you Doc!
Peace & Blessings in Love & Light
Thank you Dr Mandell you are so helpful and open minded.
What’s open minded got to do with anything?
Why do we add alcohol in the ice pack and not 100% ice pack? Great work Dr. have a nice day
The alcohol stops it from freezing solid so you can mold it to your body
It's difficult to find isopropyl alcohol just like hand sanitizer these days because of the CV. It's almost like they stopped making these things they are that hard to find.
I didn’t get it so it’s mean 3 cup water for 1 cup alcohol?
I know it has been a year since you asked, but yes. Whatever measure you use for the water -- a cup, half cup, tbsp -- you use one measure of alcohol.
What percent of isopropyl alcohol 50, 70.90?
Chef Mandell and Health Kitchen, thanks for idea. :)
Is there a specific strength rubbing alcohol that should be used or can I use any strength? This is an extremely helpful video. Thank you Doctor
It doesn't matter, it will be heavily diluted by the water anyways. The alcohol is just meant to keep the water from freezing into a hard ice. It will make it's more like a slushy consistency but allow it to be just as cold.
I needed this ! Thanks !
great advice, thanks doc! thumbs up for the humour too, specially when you hurt your humerus :-)
🤣😄🤣😂😃😃 This is have you do it baby. Love you Dr. Mandel 💐
U so right Doc, and thanks for the advice. I'll be making me one 4sure 👏🏾🙌🏾
