Selecting 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.

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.

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.

The shape of the product and fill used is also important. You want one with a shape that conforms to your body as closely as possible so that it feels comfortable. The fill used should provide the right weight so that it stays in place when moving about without being too heavy.

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.

Many of these wraps are filled with flax seeds as this provides a good weight and heats up well in a microwave, retaining this heat for long lasting relief for tired muscles. Many people experience severe aches and chills in winter from various conditions like arthritis. They benefit greatly from the constant heat released. The scent and warmth experienced are instantly relaxing and soon the muscles begin to feel looser and less painful.

It is also possible to use these wraps for cold therapy. Wrapping one in a plastic bag and storing it in the freezer means that it is instantly available when needed. Treating injuries like sprains and bruises with analgesic slows down blood flow, thus reducing swelling and pain.

A lavender scented neck wrap offers you the opportunity to treat yourself. Rather than going for expensive massages or spa therapy, you can benefit from therapy in your own home, while continuing with your chores or watching television. These products also make wonderful gifts for special occasions. Treat your mother, daughter, aunt or sister to one and they will be thrilled.
