Learn how to make a castor oil pack, castor oil pack benefits, and some very important tips about the best castor oil to buy.

High Quality Castor Oil
Lemon essential oil - optional
Plastic Wrap (please at least get BPA-free plastic wrap)
Soft Flannel Pad or an Organic Cotton Cloth (if using cotton I recommend organic, if possible)

Pour some castor oil into a spoon and then put it on your hand. (Add 1-2 drops of lemon essential oil to the castor oil, blending well, if desired.)
Rub the castor oil on your abdomen or liver (just below your rib cage on your right side).
Place the flannel pad or cloth on top of the castor oil.
Cover pad with plastic wrap and wrap around entire abdomen for stability.
If using a pad that is in a securable cover, secure cover. Otherwise, you can lie down to prevent the pad from moving.
Keep cloth in place for at least one hour, then remove.

Note that a heating pad isn't necessary for this as the heat from your own body is sufficient.
