How to prepare your castor oil pack
Note: This preparation needs only to be done once. Then you can simply store in a container or zip lock bag for the next use.
Castor oil does not go rancid, so the cloth can be re-used frequently and does not require refrigeration.
Method # 1
Cut a piece of cotton flannel to a size that will cover the indicated area (three layers thick). Pour castor oil on the cloth, not to the point of over saturation, place the cloth on liver, stomach, knee, back or affected area. Apply a heating pad or hot water bottle on top. Leave on that area for 20-30 minutes.
Method # 2
Apply the castor oil on the area of concern, wear an old T-shirt or pajamas and retire for the evening. The warmth and heat of the blankets will aid the castor oil absorption.
These methods can be done 3-4 times per week.
Good quality castor oil usually comes in a glass bottle.
