Epsom Salt Ice Rubs???????

[CharlesDMickey]

I want to get some pre made ice rubs to keep on hand for training injuries and,,,,well my old ass knees and torn calf.

I've heard if you take X amount of Epsom Salt, dissolve it in boiling water, let it cool, and freeze in Styrofoam cups; Then you have a kick ass ice rub with a natural anti-inflammatory.

Does anyone know the ratio? I know if I get too much salt it won’t freeze. Any help?

Mick- I believe it's a 1/16 dillution. If you don't boil off too much water, it should freeze fine. If it looks like a slurpee, add a little more water.

Thanks Ryan - I'll give it a shot.

take a dixie cup and fill it w/ water...freeze it...tear away half of the cup...rub a nice portion of Flexall on ur muscle and massage it w/ the ice cup for 5-9 minutes...works like a charm
