Stress Relief With A Lavender Scented Neck Wrap

By Elena McDowell


Stress and sore achy muscles are a fact of life. They cause people to lose sleep and perform poorly in their day to day lives. To combat the stress and tension many people have turned to the lavender scented neck wrap as a substitute for medications that cause unwanted side effects. Lavender is known to ease stress and tension with it's aromatic and soothing qualities.

When selecting the style that suites you it is important to ensure that the weight and form is something you are comfortable with. It should not be so heavy that it weighs you down but should weigh enough to stay in place while you are using it. If you must constantly reposition it to get relief the effect is diminished considerably.

Texture and strength of the cover fabric make a big difference when creating these items. Many factories create them from cottons and flannels. These fabrics are both soft and strong but light enough to allow the aromas to emanate from the wrap. Others are made from velvet or fuzzy fabrics in the form of stuffed animals.

The therapeutic aroma should last several months without refreshing it. When not in use storing it in a plastic bag helps to preserve the fragrance. If circumstances require renewal of the scent there are options available to you.

Some companies will supply you with the replacement items either at the time of purchase or by ordering them separately. These options include liquid essences that are sprayed onto the item and small packets of herbs and fragrances that you specify. The liquids offer the added advantage of being used for pillows or toys that are in the bedroom. This helps to sooth and relax all night long.

You will find that flax seed is the preferred filler for most producers of wraps. Long grain rice is also used, especially by people who are making their own therapeutic aroma items. Flax seed has no scent and does not interfere with the healing properties being offered. It is an oil based seed that does not degrade with use. Both of these fillers burn if over heated but long grain rice is more susceptible to heat from the microwave.

You do not want to over heat the flax seed in these things. The result will be a scorched smell that you cannot get rid of. Follow timing instructions closely to ensure safety. Long grain rice is more susceptible to the heat than flax seed. Never try to use a conventional oven for heating purposes. These are microwave only items. You must also be cautious when around water. If they are immersed in water they are ruined. The fillings will clump and stick together and the special aromas will be gone.

A lavender scented neck wrap is a way to treat your pain and stress and not have to spend a lot of money on massages or therapeutic day spas. While using one you can continue with your daily routine and benefit from the soothing effects in your own home. These are also wonderful gifts for those you care about . Imagine having a totally stress free family with one simple gift.
