Fragrant And Useful Lavender Neck Wraps

By Jeannie Chapman


There are many factors that one may experience through their daily activities that can cause stress, strain and tension in the muscles. Sometimes, this can be so severe that those tightened nerves can lead to additional health concerns like headaches. Respite from the discomfort can be found in natural herbal products such as lavender neck wraps.

A wrap has the advantage of being versatile in the areas it is able to treat. This is due largely in part to its long, flexible design which allows it to fold around most any contour in the body. So whether the discomfort is in the neck, arms, knees, back or most any other part, this pad is capable of contouring for a great fit and all around therapy.

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.

With the one product, an individual is able to provide tired, aching muscles with either chilly relief or a deep penetrating warmth. For a drier, easier to handle alternative to the traditional ice pack, the herbal package can be cooled in the freezer for a few hours and will stay cool for hours after being removed. For heat therapy, a few seconds inside the microwave will provide a safer option to a heating pad.

The grain substances used inside the pouches are the secret to the versatile nature of temperature control. They have the ability to store both hot and cold for long periods of time. Thus, one has the flexibility of having both an ice pack and heating pad in one convenient, natural and reusable product.

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 simple concept of their design is another reason these items are so flexible. Though available in many styles, the pouches are generally much longer than they are wide and are filled loosely with the grains and herbs, making them feel similar to bean bags. The advantage of this is that they are able to be wrapped around a curved surface, like an elbow, knee or neck just as easily as they can be laid across the stomach or lower back.

Lavender neck wraps are a fresh, natural, aromatic way to combat the tension that results from stressful situations. They provide hours of soothing relief from a variety of aches and pains while emitting a calming fragrance that relaxes both the body and the mind. Products like this are perfect for those who prefer to seek out all natural ways to treat the discomforts and ailments are part of life.
