• Directions:
  - For preparation and use for castor oil packs:
  • Fold the wool flannel to a size large enough to cover the body area involved.
  - Pour castor oil into the flannel until the flannel is saturated but not dripping.
  - Apply saturated cloth to the desired body area.
  - Cover the saturated flannel cloth with a piece of plastic sheeting (ordinary kitchen plastic wrap works fine).
  - A heating pad may now be applied on top of the plastic.
  - Begin with a medium setting on the heating pad, and then proceed to higher temperatures if comfortabel for a total of 30 to 60 minutes.
  - The skin may be cleansed afterward using a solution made from two teaspoons of baking soda dissolved in a quart of water.
  - Store the flannel pack in a plastic bag or container in the refrigerator for future use.
  - Upon subsequent use, you may need to add a small amount of castor oil to bring the pack back to saturation.
  - Discard after approximately 20 uses or 2 months.
