Selecting A Lavender Scented Neck Wrap

By Helga Stokes


Many people suffer from shoulder and neck problems, whether it is simple stress and strain or something more serious such as a specific medical condition or injury. One of the most simple ways to bring relief is to use a lavender scented neck wrap. The scent is soothing and the product may be heated or chilled for more effectiveness. Lavender is well known for its wonderful aroma and its many therapeutic benefits.

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.

When considering the different shapes, you will want to select one that offers the most comfortable fit. One that conforms to the shape of the body probably offers the best fit. The fill should provide enough weight so that it stays right where you want it. It should not be so heavy that you are constantly aware of the weight and cannot wear it for any length of time.

Some of these products use the best quality materials while others settle for cheaper options. Unfortunately, unless natural products are used, the benefits are not the same. Lavender has many medicinal benefits, including an anti-inflammatory effect, stimulation of circulation and help with tension relief. It is also well known for its calming and soothing properties. However, when synthetic products are used, one does not experience many of these benefits.

Flax seeds are often used as a filling. This is because they offer a suitable weight and they can be heated in the microwave. They retain this heat for some time, offering the necessary relief for aching muscles. This is of particular benefit for those who experience severe chills and aches in winter due to various medical conditions. Both the warmth and the scent released provide amazing relief and it is not long before muscles start to relax.

Another way of treating pain is with cold therapy. Wraps can be stored in the freezer in a plastic bag, ready for use when needed. Cold therapy slows circulation, reduces inflammation, pain and muscle spasms. It is particularly helpful for treating injuries obtained when playing sport.

A lavender scented neck wrap provides a simple, easy way to feel better. Going for massages can be expensive. It can be worn comfortably while watching television and doing household chores. You have access to beneficial therapy in the comfort of your own home. One of these wraps also makes a great gift and a mom, sister, wife, girlfriend, daughter or aunt will all enjoy its benefits.
