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.

A single product can provide an individual's sore, aching muscles with a pain numbing chill or a penetrating and healing heat. Instead of using an ice pack which can make things damp, simply place this pouch in the freezer for a few hours and it works just as well but with better surface coverage. No need to plug in a heating pad when one can just zap this wrap in the microwave for a couple of seconds and have a couple of hours of safe warmth.

The grainy substances are what give the product its ability to deliver varied temperature therapies. Being fibrous, they naturally soak in the air that surrounds them, be it cold or hot, and release it slowly. As such, one now has the benefit of having both a heating pad and ice pack all in one convenient pouch.

The science of aromatherapy is explore through the addition of dried herbs to the grain filling. Lavender has one of the most popular scents, known throughout the world for its amazing powers to impact the way a person feels. The soothing fragrance can calm the mind, which leads to promoting relaxation and can result in one being relieved of stress, depression and anxiety while relating the heart rate and lowering one's blood pressure.

The simple concept of their design is another reason these items are so flexible. Though available in many styles, the pouches are generally much longer than they are wide and are filled loosely with the grains and herbs, making them feel similar to bean bags. The advantage of this is that they are able to be wrapped around a curved surface, like an elbow, knee or neck just as easily as they can be laid across the stomach or lower back.

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.
