Many Herbal Neck Wrap Benefits

By Linda Ruiz


There are many aspects of life that can cause a person to feel strained, stressed or fatigued. Such feelings can cause the mind to become unsettled, muscles may throb and the body may ache and be completely zapped of energy. A great natural treatment for these types of maladies is an herbal neck wrap, which can serve many holistic purposes.

Designed to last several years and endure many treatment sessions, these items are filled with all natural substances. Easy flexibility means they can be utilized in any way one may require in their quest to relax, sleep or find relief from pain and tension. They can be found without a distinctive scent, though most people prefer one of the aromatic varieties and the extra benefits they provide.

Wraps of this sort are usually a little over two feet long, approximately six inches wide and generally weight less than three pounds. Some are available in a rectangular shapes though they are more commonly found to be either long and tubular or rounded and curved like a horseshoe. Regardless of their cut, they are flexible and able to be placed in a variety of positions for use on different body parts.

What is inside really does matter when it comes to the effectiveness of these products. The cloth casing are usually of an airy fabric and are loaded with natural substances like corn, grape seed, grains, buckwheat hulls and flax. These kinds of plant parts have the capability of soaking in the ambient temperatures and holding them for a slow release.

Whether an individual has a need or preference for hot or cold therapy, these natural substance pouches are quite effective. When placed in a microwave for a short time, they become a handy and easily transportable heating pad, while placing it in the freezer for several hours will result in an ice pack that is both flexible and melt proof. The plant material inside absorbs the desired temperature and slowly releases it into the targeted area to soothe sore muscles and ease most aches and pains.

To this mix of temperature absorbing materials, a variety of fragrant plants and herbs are added. This allows for soft, calming scents to be released each time the tube is kneaded, or as it cools after being heated. As the temperature seeps into the muscles to relieve pain or tightness, the soothing aromas serve to calm the mind and help the wearer relax.

Known as aromatherapy, certain scents are known to have an effect on the brain's nerve center, calming it and influencing an individual's moods. Lavender, sage, lilac, rosemary, honeysuckle and jasmine are some of the most commonly used materials because they all promote relaxation. This is what makes this kind of product very effective for migraine sufferers and insomniacs.

In the winter time when sinuses and colds are most active, packets of this sort filled with more potent aromatic substances like mint, spruce, pine and eucalyptus may be most effective. Whatever scent one selects, these therapeutic pouches can be most helpful in finding relief from joint discomfort as well as easing the pain of muscle soreness in the shoulders and extremities. They are also a great way to encourage relaxation, soothe migraines and banish insomnia.
