esikelpoisena

Esikelpoisena, also known as the "Eskimo poison" or "Eskimo ice," is a traditional Inuit method of creating a cold pack using ice, salt, and a cloth. The process involves freezing a mixture of water and salt, which lowers the freezing point of the water, allowing it to remain solid at temperatures below the normal freezing point of water. This method has been used by Inuit communities for centuries to treat injuries, reduce swelling, and alleviate pain.

The esikelpoisena is created by mixing salt with water and then freezing the mixture. The salt lowers the freezing point of the water, allowing it to remain solid at lower temperatures. The frozen mixture is then wrapped in a cloth and applied to the injured area. The cold pack helps to reduce swelling and numb the area, providing relief from pain.

The esikelpoisena has been used by Inuit communities for centuries and is still used today in some remote areas where access to modern medical supplies is limited. While it is not as effective as modern medical treatments, it has been an important tool for Inuit communities in maintaining their health and well-being.
