Fragrant And Useful 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.

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 secret to being able to maintain either type of temperature for hours lies with the grain items that the pouch is stuffed with. These fibrous materials naturally hold the energy and release it slowly. This creates one convenient little package provides one with a natural and reusable alternative to other treatments.

Placing dried herbs into the mixture provides the added benefit of aromatherapy. The soft scent of lavender has long been touted for its ability to influence one's mood. It facilitates relaxation which in turn lowers blood pressure, regulates heart rate, soothes anxiety, alleviates depression and calms the mind so that even those suffering from insomnia are able to find some 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.

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.
