The easiest method to use a castor oil pack is to apply about 1-2 Tbsp of castor oil to a flannel cloth and place it on your abdomen so that the oil is in contact with the skin. The castor oil should form a thin layer on your skin and not be dripping. Then place an old towel on top (castor oil can stain sheets) and a hot water bottle over the towel to help drive the castor oil into the skin. A hot water bottle or other heating device is not required, but most people report feeling more relaxed when it is used. The heat should be strong enough that you feel a warm gentle heat on your abdomen, but avoid burning.
Balancing cortisol, the stress hormone, is also vital to maintaining a healthy weight. Like most of your hormones, cortisol is made from cholesterol. When you're stressed, your body makes extra cortisol to help it overcome a challenge — real or perceived — but your cholesterol supply doesn't change.
