How To Choose 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.

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.

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.

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.
