        Doctors recommend from 5-20 min.
        All doctors just told me 10 min. but after experiments/studies (took 3 months),
        what work for me are:

        13-15 min, 43-*45C
        in the morning moist heat (to remove debris etc) &
        before bed dry heat (only because it is easier)

        The tricks: constant heat, 45C and enough time.
        If you feel oil is flowing and feel great afterwards then it is correct.

        *45C
        The study by C. Blackie (partner of Dr D. Korb, inventor of LipiFlow) suggests that
        warm compresses are more effective when the temperature reaches 45°C (113°F) and are frequently reheated,
        so called, Bundle method

        I found this one is also useful, also mention 1) 45C, 2) reheat
