I've been asked to share this with you by a friend who thought it was a good idea.For ice packs, I freeze ocean water. I pour some into an ice tray and put plastic wrap over it. I also put some in plastic baggies and freeze it so it's flat. I use it on my wrist, so I put the baggie in a small bowl, so it won't be too large. When I want to use the ice, I put it in a washcloth and let it melt to release the healing qualities in the ocean water. I get a little wet, but it feels much nicer than a store bought ice pack. For heat packs, I use sand instead of a heating pad. I bought a package of tube socks and filled them with sand from the beach. During the summer, I leave one outside and the sand gets hot enough to use. During the winter, I toss the sock in the microwave. It may lose some of the healing qualities from the microwave, but I'm sure it's still a lot better than an electric heating pad. Does anyone else have any homeade remedies for stuff? ------------------ To fall in Love, is to rise. . . . ~Upendra

Morning Storm I am a looonnnggg way from the ocean but I wonder if sea salt would have the near energy as ocean water? I make heat packs out of socks, dried beans (or rice) and cinnamon. Also dried mint leaves ( any). Lavendar is good too. I love the aromatherapy coupled with the heat. Oh, I lay it in sun in summer & microwave in winter. It makes the house smell so good. I also make trivets (for sitting hot bowls, pots on) out of a pretty durable cloth & sew in rice & cinnamon. When you sit the hot bowl on it on the table the scent is wonderful. peace, juniperb IP: Logged |

Juniperb, sea salt has the same Power in Wicca and other forms of Magick, so it probably would be nearly as good. ------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you."
