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 pouches are able to provide the combination of temperature delivered healing and aromatherapy because of the unique mixture that is contained inside them. Lavender, perhaps the most popular healing herb worldwide, is used as a way to calm the nerves and encourage the body to relax. That is added to some type of grain item like flax or grape seed, buckwheat hulls and wheat to act as a conductor for the coolness or the heat.

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 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.
