Fragrant And Useful Lavender Neck Wraps

By Jeannie Chapman


Tension often builds in the muscles due to the strain and stress experienced through the activities of life. This can be painful and lead to other issues such as headaches. To help alleviate this type of discomfort, several natural solutions are available such as aromatic lavender neck wraps.

The beauty of the wrap concept is that it is quite versatile in how it is used. It is designed to have its length several times longer than its width, permitting it to be coiled around most any jointed area or laid out on any basically flat surface. Knees, necks, arms, elbows, backs and tummies can all be treated with this one item.

The cloth pouches are filled with a combination of ingredients that bring together both hot-cold therapy and aromatherapy. Dried lavender surrounds the user with a soft fragrance that is known for stimulating the relaxation center of the brain. The herb is mixed with wheat, buckwheat hulls, flax or grape seed or other such substance which regulates the temperature.

A single product can provide an individual's sore, aching muscles with a pain numbing chill or a penetrating and healing heat. Instead of using an ice pack which can make things damp, simply place this pouch in the freezer for a few hours and it works just as well but with better surface coverage. No need to plug in a heating pad when one can just zap this wrap in the microwave for a couple of seconds and have a couple of hours of safe warmth.

The grainy substances are what give the product its ability to deliver varied temperature therapies. Being fibrous, they naturally soak in the air that surrounds them, be it cold or hot, and release it slowly. As such, one now has the benefit of having both a heating pad and ice pack all in one convenient pouch.

Placing dried herbs into the mixture provides the added benefit of aromatherapy. The soft scent of lavender has long been touted for its ability to influence one's mood. It facilitates relaxation which in turn lowers blood pressure, regulates heart rate, soothes anxiety, alleviates depression and calms the mind so that even those suffering from insomnia are able to find some rest.

The design of these products also lends to their versatility. Being loosely filled with the herbs and grains, the pouches are several times longer than they are wide and are generally soft and floppy to the touch. This makes them flexible enough to be laid across a relatively flat surface such as the back or stomach, or wrapped around a contoured area like the shoulders or knees, providing soothing relief to all sides evenly and at once.

For a fresh, homeopathic and sweet smelling way to rid ease oneself of tension, anxiety and pain, lavender neck wraps are the way to go. They are capable of providing the services of both an ice pack and a heating pad but with a pleasantly calming aroma. People who have a preference for more natural ways to treat pain and other ailments often find that herbal products like this are very helpful.
