Life, in general, has many aspects that might cause an individual to experience strains, fatigue and stress. This leads to unclear and anxious thinking, achy muscles and a complete lack of energy. A good many people prefer natural solutions to handling most aches and pains and find that an
herbal neck wrap provides relief for multiple maladies.
These products are made with natural substances and may be reused hundreds of times for several years. They are flexible and can be worn in multiple ways to relieve pain and tension or to promote relaxation and assist in the battle against insomnia. Although they are available in unscented formats, many people find the scented versions to have added benefits.
Normally found in roughly 2' lengths, about 6" widths, the wraps usually weigh just over two and a half pounds. The three primary formats in which these product are made are as a pillow like rectangle, a loosely filled tube or as a horseshoe pillow that cradles one's head. However they are sewn, their flexibility provides ample coverage and permits them to be placed practically anywhere on the body they may be needed.
What makes this type of product so effective are the substances used to create their inside content. The cloth casings are loosely filled with all natural ingredients such as buckwheat hulls, various grains, corn, grape seed and flax. Plant parts like these have the ability to absorb and hold both heat and cold for extended periods of time.
That temperature absorbing ability is one of the main benefits of this type of filling as they may serve as either cold or heat therapy. Microwaving the item for a minute or two turns it into a cordless heating pad, and a few hours in the freezer generates an ice pack that contains no water and remains ever flexible. Whether hot or cold, the inner materials can effectively comfort sore muscles, ease pains and soothe a variety of aches.
The absorbing materials are enhanced by the addition of other herbs and plants with helpful fragrances. Every time the packet is kneaded and as the heat seeps from it, gentle, soothing aromas are released. While the temperature has serves the purpose of easing tension and pain, the scents are meant to activate the brain's calming center and promote relaxation.
Aromatherapy means using particular scents to influence the way a person feels and to soothe the brain into relaxation. Materials like lilac, sage, lavender, rosemary, jasmine and honeysuckle are primarily used in these products because their smells are said to affect one's mood and ability to relax. This aspect is what make the product useful for treating insomnia, headaches and migraines.
Products with substances like eucalyptus, pine, spruce and mint added to the filler make effective treatments for colds and sinus issues during the winter months. Regardless of their scent, these therapeutic wraps are great for easing muscle pains in the shoulders, legs and arms, as well as easing joint soreness. They also promote relaxation, alleviate insomnia and are a soothing therapy for headaches and migraines.
