Homemade Gel Ice Packs
You will need:
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup rubbing alcohol
2 ziplock bags
food coloring (optional)
Pour the water and the rubbing alcohol into a ziplock
storage bag, add food coloring if desired, then close.
Put the bag into another bag, seal, and place in your
freezer. This will make a nice, flexible, slushy ice
pack. (Be sure to label the contents clearly so that no
one will try to use it for anything edible.) Double or
triple this recipe as needed to make the correct size
to fit the area needing the ice.

Suma is an adaptogen herb, which means it helps the body adapt to stress, and acts as a tonic to the entire system. By enhancing the body's immune system, Suma aids in preventing free-radical damage to the body. Suma contains significant amounts of Germanium, a trace mineral which stimulates the immune system and helps promote oxygen flow to cells. It also contains "allantoin", a substance which assists in healing wounds. Some of Suma's other beneficial nutrients include vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids, and the natural plant hormones sitosterol and stigmasterol. These phytochemicals nourish the circulatory and glandular systems. The Japanese investigated Suma in trials against specific types of tumor cells. The researchers discovered that six saponins called pffaffosides A, B, C, D, E, and F are the unique chemicals present in Suma that inhibit tumor cell growth. Brazilian researchers have found that Suma is both safe and effective for altered-immune disorders.
