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.

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.

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.

Refresher spritzers are available from local shops. These offer you the advantage of simply spraying a fresh shot of aroma onto your wrap. You can also use these spritzers on pillows or plush animals that you sleep with for over night comfort. Another option are the replacement packets that many companies offer. To use these you can simply open the seam on the cover and place the new packet into the hole. A quick slip stitch will keep it in place.

Flax seed fillers are considered the most desirable because of their make up. They are an oil based seed that does not dry out or degrade over time. They can be damaged if micro-waved for too long but as a whole they last longest. Another filler is long grain rice. It is commonly used by people who are creating their own special wraps.

You do not want to over heat the flax seed in these things. The result will be a scorched smell that you cannot get rid of. Follow timing instructions closely to ensure safety. Long grain rice is more susceptible to the heat than flax seed. Never try to use a conventional oven for heating purposes. These are microwave only items. You must also be cautious when around water. If they are immersed in water they are ruined. The fillings will clump and stick together and the special aromas will be gone.

As a tension and stress relief method the lavender scented neck wrap is a viable and effective tool. They offer the same effects as a massage parlor without the hassle of leaving home and interrupting your daily schedule. They offer a cost effective and safe way to unwind at the end of a long and stressful day.
