Looking For Good Quality Spa Neck Wraps

By Krystal Branch


Spa neck wraps offer a simple, relatively inexpensive way of providing relief from muscle pain and stiffness. There are many individuals who suffer constantly from pain in their necks due to general stress and tension or specific chronic conditions. Heating a wrap in a microwave or chilling it in a refrigerator is possible and this makes it even more effective. The fillers and ingredients used in a wrap vary considerably and some work better than others. Always make sure that you know exactly what ingredients a wrap contains, including the fillers, herbs and essential oils used.

Many products are available for purchase at local stores and on the internet. They come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. They are also covered with many different types and colors of fabrics. One of the most popular fabrics used is soft fleece. Others are comfortable flannel, muslin, denim or cotton. An important consideration is cleaning and if a cover is removable and machine washable this is a benefit.

A number of different fillers can be used like herbal teas, buckwheat, dry rice, or millet and flax seeds. Some, like buckwheat and flax seeds, are a popular choice. They provide a decent weight and when heated, retain this heat well, offering welcome relief to tired muscles.

The herbs contained in products like this are chosen for their soothing and relaxing qualities. Lavender, marjoram, lemon balm, rosemary and chamomile are just some of the herbs used. A product may contain a single herb like lavender, known for its circulatory and anti-inflammatory qualities, or a blend of different ones.

Many people experience aches and chills in winter from conditions like fibromyalgia or arthritis. They find great relief from a wrap that has been heated in the microwave for a few minutes. The warmth is instantly relaxing and as circulation improves, so the stiff and sore muscles begin to feel looser and less painful. A wrap can easily be draped around the neck while at the office, driving, or just reading and relaxing. It can even be used at bedtime to wind down after a stressful day.

When swelling is evident or muscles have been over exerted, cold therapy should be used. It is convenient to keep a wrap in a plastic bag in the freezer for such occasions as it needs several hours to become cold enough to be effective. The cold numbs the area, providing an analgesic action and helping to reduce the swelling.

The variety of items offered by online suppliers can be quite daunting when trying to make a selection. Sometimes reviews written by customers about a specific product can be helpful. A reputable supplier must be chosen to avoid purchasing cheap and ineffective products containing inferior fillers.

Spa neck wraps provide welcome relief in the comfort of your own home. They are simple to use, effective and inexpensive when compared with massages and going to a physiotherapist. One does not have to boil water, install batteries or plug into an electrical outlet wires to obtain effective relief from muscle spasms and pain.
