How To Choose 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
