Rice would work well for a frozen pak on injuries, so do Peas and Corn packages.

We use a tube sock filled with old rice for a very convenient heat pack. Put it in the microwave for three or four minutes, you can take it anywhere, it conforms to whatever body part you put it on, and it stays warm for a long time.

I don't like to use medicine unless absolutely necessary, so when the kids have growing pains these socks come in very handy.

Excellent idea, it should freeze too, for cold paks.

I am with you, keep as far away from medicines as you can.
