Choosing A Lavender Scented Neck Wrap

Choosing A Lavender Scented Neck Wrap

By Helga Stokes


Many people suffer from neck and shoulder problems, whether as a result of physical injury or a medical condition. There are not many of us who do not experience some tension and stress in this area, even if we are not injured or ill. In all these cases, a lavender scented neck wrap helps to provide relief. Using such a product offers a simple therapeutic solution in the comfort of your own home. The scent is not only wonderful and soothing but offers many medicinal benefits as well. These wraps may also be heated or frozen for additional relief from pain and stress.

Online retailers offer these products and this gives you the opportunity to compare prices and styles effortlessly. It is worth reading reviews written by satisfied customers to find out more about a particular product. It is also worth buying the best quality you can afford as a cheaper knock-off will probably disappoint you.

Many different types of fabrics are used for the outer cover, from fleeces to velvets. You can also choose from a wide variety of colors and patterns, from purple to polka dots. When considering a fabric, bear in mind that it should not only be comfortable and attractive but durable and easy to clean as well.

When considering which shape to choose, one with a comfortable fit is obviously best. It must be able to be well positioned so that it stays in place when you move about. The fill is also an important consideration as it cannot be too heavy making it uncomfortable to wear. One that is too lightweight is also a problem as it may shift around.

Some of these products use the best quality materials while others settle for cheaper options. Unfortunately, unless natural products are used, the benefits are not the same. Lavender has many medicinal benefits, including an anti-inflammatory effect, stimulation of circulation and help with tension relief. It is also well known for its calming and soothing properties. However, when synthetic products are used, one does not experience many of these benefits.

Many of these wraps are filled with flax seeds as this provides a good weight and heats up well in a microwave, retaining this heat for long lasting relief for tired muscles. Many people experience severe aches and chills in winter from various conditions like arthritis. They benefit greatly from the constant heat released. The scent and warmth experienced are instantly relaxing and soon the muscles begin to feel looser and less painful.

These wraps may also be placed in the freezer if cold therapy is desired. To protect the fabric, it should be wrapped in a plastic bag. The cold helps to numb the muscles.

A lavender scented neck wrap provides a simple, easy way to feel better. Going for massages can be expensive. It can be worn comfortably while watching television and doing household chores. You have access to beneficial therapy in the comfort of your own home. One of these wraps also makes a great gift and a mom, sister, wife, girlfriend, daughter or aunt will all enjoy its benefits.
