TheDoctorsTV and Cold: With Caution for Certain Medical Challenges
The frigid physicians are giving the audience advice on how to use COLD to treat certain medical challenges.
Dr. Travis is usually the first to tell you to treat a sprain or athletic injury with cold compresses to reduce inflammation and swelling, but the latest research suggests that may actually inhibit the body’s own mechanism for releasing molecules that stimulate repair. So don’t leave cold on your injuries for more than twenty minutes at a time. You can warm the area up again and then if there is more swelling, use another cold compress or a bag of frozen peas.
Cold slows down circulation, so it is not smart to cool down the body for too long a period of time. Use your brain, as long as that’s not frozen, to determine when the time to remove the cold is for maximum effectiveness. You can eat cooling foods or drink cooling herbal teas like peppermint to further your body’s ability to restore balance.

I would not recommend the use of those ice cubes with stuff in them on the face. It’s better to drink your Green Tea, grapefruit juice, and other ingredients. One sip is worth two hundred tangible touches to your external skin. We have specially-formulated creams and salves for that…
The use of cold to induce coma or stabilize a patient in a hospital setting proved to offer a miracle for one woman who could have easily died from being without oxygen to her brain for twenty minutes. There are times when it does save lives!
