Wool Flannel

100% White Wool Flannel

Fold the wool flannel in two TO four thicknesses to a size large enough to cover
the body area involved. For abdominal application , the folded cloth should
measure about 10x12 inches. Pour castor oil into the flannel. Cloth should be
saturated but not dripping. Apply saturated cloth to the body area planned for
treatment.
Cover the saturated flannel cloth with a piece of plastic sheeting , ordinary
kitchen plastic wrap. 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 comfortable. A towel , folded lengthwise , may be placed over the
pack to keep it in place. The pack should remain for 30/60 minutes in place.
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 for future use. It need not be discarded after one
application. Store in a cool , dark place for maximum shelf life. Upon
subsequent use , you may need to add a small amount of castor oil to bring the
pack back to saturation.
