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.

The beauty of the wrap concept is that it is quite versatile in how it is used. 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 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 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.
