treat. Soak the flannel cloth with the castor oil.

Place the folded cloth on the treatment area, cover with plastic
wrap, then apply heating pad or hot pack. Castor oil stains so lay
on an old towel to avoid stains.

Lay with pack on at least 20 minutes to an hour. Overnight is ideal.


Monitor heat pack. Castor oil packs can be safely used on children
as well.

Once treatment ends you can store flannel cloth in a container to


reuse. You can add a few teaspoons of oil to cloth when reusing.
