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.

A wide variety of fabrics are used for these products in many colors and patterns. Velvets and soft fleeces are popular because they are so comfortable against the skin. Selection will largely depend on your personal preference but remember that the appearance is not as important as other factors such as comfort, durability and ease of cleaning.

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.

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.

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.

Using a lavender scented neck wrap offers you the opportunity of treating yourself at home. This is an affordable option in comparison with going to a spa for a massage. You can wear it comfortably while going about your normal routine at home and experience great benefits at the same time. This product also makes a wonderful gift for a mother, daughter or a sister.
