How To Choose A Lavender Scented Neck Wrap

By Helga Stokes


Many people suffer from neck and shoulder problems, whether as a result of physical injury or a medical condition. There are not many of us who do not experience some tension and stress in this area, even if we are not injured or ill. In all these cases, a lavender scented neck wrap helps to provide relief. Using such a product offers a simple therapeutic solution in the comfort of your own home. The scent is not only wonderful and soothing but offers many medicinal benefits as well. These wraps may also be heated or frozen for additional relief from pain and stress.

Online retailers offer these products and this gives you the opportunity to compare prices and styles effortlessly. It is worth reading reviews written by satisfied customers to find out more about a particular product. It is also worth buying the best quality you can afford as a cheaper knock-off will probably disappoint 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.

The type of lavender used also makes a difference to your experience. Synthetic products do not offer the same therapeutic benefits and even the scent smells fake. Opting for natural ingredients, such as pure essential oil, offers the most benefits and there are many. It is not only an anti-inflammatory but helps to relieve tension in the muscles and stimulate circulation. Its calming and soothing qualities are well documented.

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.
