A Lavender Scented Neck Wrap Feels Great At Night

By Elena McDowell


Most people suffer from sleeplessness at one time or another in their lives. Many choose not to use commercial or prescription solutions and instead select a lavender scented neck wrap. Lavender is a favorite because its aroma is so fragrant and therapeutic. The medicinal qualities of this plant work to relieve stress and relax muscles allowing sleep to come easier.

There are many options available for the style and size of these products. You will want one that is heavy enough to relieve your pain and transfer heat to the affected areas but be careful not to get one that is so heavy it stresses the shoulder and neck muscles. Personal comfort is essential and the proper weight and design will help to ensure this.

The fabric it is made of is also important. Most commercial wraps come in flannel or cotton. Some companies also offer velvet coverings. The cover should be easily cleaned either by machine washing or hand wiping with a cloth. Some companies have created stuffed plush animals that contain a packet of aroma therapy in their backs. The packets are removable and the plush animal is washable in your machine.

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.

Many companies offer replacement packets of the herbs in the wraps. Their products come with easily accessed pouch areas that you can simply open and replace the packet inside. These offer the option of changing the type of aroma therapy you have in the packet. Others offer refresher spritzers. With these you simply squirt the fragrance onto the outside of the fabric. These can also be used on your pillow cases to prolong the soothing effects of lavender should you choose not to sleep with the weight on your neck.

The fillers for these items generally are rice or flax seed. Flax seed is the most popular because it is an oil based seed that does not dehydrate when heated or cooled. It also has no scent that interferes with the healing aromas you need. Rice has a tendency to degrade when micro waved and can become burnt easier than flax seed.

It is important to follow the heating directions when microwaving. Even flax seed will get a burnt smell if heated for too long and the smell will be with you forever. When you are looking for a cooling wrap it is essential that you place it in a plastic bag so as not to get the seeds or rice wet. Excess moisture will damage the contents and dilute the aroma therapy effects. Do not attempt to use a conventional oven when heating your neck wrap.

Curling up at night with a lavender scented neck wrap can relieve the stress and tension you gather on a daily basis. You can save money and time spent at massage parlors and spas and achieve the same comfort levels at home and you can share with a friend.
