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.

It is designed to have its length several times longer than its width, permitting it to be coiled around most any jointed area or laid out on any basically flat surface. Knees, necks, arms, elbows, backs and tummies can all be treated with this one item.

The cloth pouches are filled with a combination of ingredients that bring together both hot-cold therapy and aromatherapy. Dried lavender surrounds the user with a soft fragrance that is known for stimulating the relaxation center of the brain. The herb is mixed with wheat, buckwheat hulls, flax or grape seed or other such substance which regulates the temperature.

With just one pouch, the individual can decide whether to use the numbing power of cool or the penetrating magic of heat. For cold therapy, simply chill in the freezer for a time and then enjoy a dry, flexible alternative to the traditional rigidity of standard ice packs. Microwaving the product for a mere 45 seconds can provide a greener, safer and better smelling option over heating pads.

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.

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 longer than wide design feature also lends itself to the versatile nature. They remain floppy and loose because the grains and herbs need room to move around and do their duties. This is where the flexibility to either lay flat against the body, as on the lower back and stomach, or to wind around a curved surface like a shoulder or a knee, comes from.

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.
