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.

When selecting the style that suites you it is important to ensure that the weight and form is something you are comfortable with. It should not be so heavy that it weighs you down but should weigh enough to stay in place while you are using it. If you must constantly reposition it to get relief the effect is diminished considerably.

Texture and strength of the cover fabric make a big difference when creating these items. Many factories create them from cottons and flannels. These fabrics are both soft and strong but light enough to allow the aromas to emanate from the wrap. Others are made from velvet or fuzzy fabrics in the form of stuffed animals.

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.

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.

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.
