How To Choose 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.

It is possible to buy these products from many online retailers. This enables you to compare the different products and their prices in the most convenient way. As with any product, opting for the cheapest one usually results in disappointment and it is better to go for the best quality affordable to 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.

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.

You also want to make sure that the best quality materials are used in the product. Lavender has a long list of medicinal properties such as offering relief from muscle tension as well as being an anti-inflammatory and circulatory stimulant. It also has a soothing and calming effect. However, these benefits are only experienced when natural products are used, such as the pure natural essential oil. Synthetic oil fragrances do not have the same benefits or scent.

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.
