Choosing A Lavender Scented Neck Wrap

By Helga Stokes


Neck and shoulder problems are among the most common physical ailments. In addition to physical injury, we carry a lot of stress and tension in these areas. A lavender scented neck wrap provides welcome relief, whether you are injured, have a medical condition or are just suffering from stress. These wraps can be heated in a microwave or chilled in a freezer for deeper relief. The wonderful scent combines aromatherapy and therapeutic treatments into one.

It is possible to buy these products from many online retailers. This enables you to compare the different products and their prices in the most convenient way. As with any product, opting for the cheapest one usually results in disappointment and it is better to go for the best quality affordable to you.

The fabrics used for the outer covers may be anything from velvet to soft fleece. It is important to think about comfort, ability to keep it clean and durability when choosing an outer cover. A machine washable cover is most convenient. The color and fabric chosen depends entirely on your personal preference and there is a wide variety of both fabrics and colors available from which to choose.

When considering the different shapes, you will want to select one that offers the most comfortable fit. One that conforms to the shape of the body probably offers the best fit. The fill should provide enough weight so that it stays right where you want it. It should not be so heavy that you are constantly aware of the weight and cannot wear it for any length of time.

You also want to make sure that the best quality materials are used in the product. Lavender has a long list of medicinal properties such as offering relief from muscle tension as well as being an anti-inflammatory and circulatory stimulant. It also has a soothing and calming effect. However, these benefits are only experienced when natural products are used, such as the pure natural essential oil. Synthetic oil fragrances do not have the same benefits or scent.

Flax seeds are often used as a filling. This is because they offer a suitable weight and they can be heated in the microwave. They retain this heat for some time, offering the necessary relief for aching muscles. This is of particular benefit for those who experience severe chills and aches in winter due to various medical conditions. Both the warmth and the scent released provide amazing relief and it is not long before muscles start to relax.

Another way of treating pain is with cold therapy. Wraps can be stored in the freezer in a plastic bag, ready for use when needed. Cold therapy slows circulation, reduces inflammation, pain and muscle spasms. It is particularly helpful for treating injuries obtained when playing sport.

A lavender scented neck wrap offers you the opportunity to treat yourself. Rather than going for expensive massages or spa therapy, you can benefit from therapy in your own home, while continuing with your chores or watching television. These products also make wonderful gifts for special occasions. Treat your mother, daughter, aunt or sister to one and they will be thrilled.
