The Benefits Of Lavender Neck Wraps

By Jeannie Chapman


Tension often builds in the muscles due to the strain and stress experienced through the activities of life. This can be painful and lead to other issues such as headaches. To help alleviate this type of discomfort, several natural solutions are available such as aromatic lavender neck wraps.

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.

The pouches are able to provide the combination of temperature delivered healing and aromatherapy because of the unique mixture that is contained inside them. Lavender, perhaps the most popular healing herb worldwide, is used as a way to calm the nerves and encourage the body to relax. That is added to some type of grain item like flax or grape seed, buckwheat hulls and wheat to act as a conductor for the coolness or the heat.

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 grain substances used inside the pouches are the secret to the versatile nature of temperature control. They have the ability to store both hot and cold for long periods of time. Thus, one has the flexibility of having both an ice pack and heating pad in one convenient, natural and reusable product.

Adding the fragrant herb to the mix creates yet another benefit. Aromatherapy is the treatment of conditions through smell and the lovely scent of lavender is nearly synonymous with relaxation. It calms the nerves, eases the mind, lowers pulse and blood pressure, reduces anxiety, releases depression and can also help an insomniac find the chance to finally rest.

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.
