Gentle Ice Packs
Reduce swelling and pain

The general rule of thumb is to use ice when you need to reduce swelling and ease pain. Many doctors will recommend icing to help reduce inflammation from injuries, surgeries, or from muscle strains. Consult a physician regarding severe pain and injuries.

Use a cold pack for no more than 10 to 15 minute sessions, allowing the skin to return to normal temperature in between each session - about one hour. Do not place ice directly on the skin. Usually icing is recommended during the first 48 hours after an injury.

Maine Warmers ice packs are filled with whole corn and do not get as cold as a bag of frozen peas because the water content of the whole corn is significantly reduced. Whole corn has been dried about 70%, and it does not get as cold as ice cubes or a bag of store-bought frozen peas or corn. The whole corn ice pack may feel more comfortable than ice cubes or products with a higher water content, but may not be recommended by your doctor.

Check out the Mayo Clinic or the National Institutes for Health for more information on specific needs.
