Fragrant And Useful Lavender Neck Wraps

By Jeannie Chapman


When a person is subjected to stressful situations, they are bound to experience a fair amount of discomfort and tension. Untreated, this may intensify and lead to other problems such as anxiety, headaches and depression. Lavender neck wraps are a natural and aromatic way to soothe aching muscles and tired minds.

Versatility is just one advantage of using wraps. Part of that is because they are made in such a way that allows them to be loose and flexible so that they are capable of conforming to the curves and contours of the body. This makes it possible to use them on most any part of the body including the neck, shoulders, arms, elbows, knees and wrists as well as the lower back and stomach.

A combination of all natural ingredients is poured loosely into cloth pouches that are perfect for delivering both aromatherapy and hot-cold therapy at once. The lavender that is placed in the bag emits a fragrance that is known worldwide for its power to soothe and relax the mind and the body. Various grain substances like buckwheat hulls, wheat and grape and flax seed hare great at maintaining temperatures on either end of the spectrum.

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 secret to being able to maintain either type of temperature for hours lies with the grain items that the pouch is stuffed with. These fibrous materials naturally hold the energy and release it slowly. This creates one convenient little package provides one with a natural and reusable alternative to other treatments.

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.

Anyone looking for a safe, natural way to combat the negative effects of a stressful situation could benefit from the use of lavender neck wraps. The beautiful and calming aroma of the herbs encourages relaxation while the grains deliver temperature treatment. This is just one of many homeopathic remedies and treatments.
