The best thing for a sore or swollen body part is to apply a cold compression to the area, to ease the pain and inflammation. If you don't have a special freezer pack for these occasions the natural thing to do is to find some sort of substitute from your freezer.
Peas and ice cubes are the most common used but now it turns out marshmallows could be the trick we've all been missing.

According to Sun Gazing, marshmallows only take a few minutes to freeze and are as effective as ice. What's more, they retain their flexibility so you can mould and shape them around the body part in need of cold compression.
AND, you won't have all that melted water on you that you get from using ice cubes. Also, you can divide up the pack and snack on them while you wait for the others to freeze.
