Better Sleep With A Lavender Scented Neck Wrap

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.

Fabric content is also very important. It must be strong but soothing to the skin. Most manufacturers choose soft cotton or flannel for their products but some offer velvet as a third choice. Some private creators offer plush animals that contain packets of the aroma therapy selected. You may want to be certain of the care of covers. Most are removable and can be machine washed but some need surface cleaning only.

How long the aromas last is dependant on how often you use them and whether or not you store them in plastic when not in use. They can be renewed by using a replacement method appropriate for the product you purchased. These are usually very cost effective.

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.

You will find that flax seed is the preferred filler for most producers of wraps. Long grain rice is also used, especially by people who are making their own therapeutic aroma items. Flax seed has no scent and does not interfere with the healing properties being offered. It is an oil based seed that does not degrade with use. Both of these fillers burn if over heated but long grain rice is more susceptible to heat from the microwave.

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.
