Having A Microwavable Herbal Neck Wrap Is A Real Treat

By Stacey Burt


Penetrative warmth and aromatherapy benefits are well known. These can be obtained by using a Microwavable Herbal Neck Wrap to relieve stress, stiffness, cramp, muscle tension and general pain. The shape of such a device allows it to stay in place while you stand, walk or sit. A curved neck wrap can also be used chilled to alleviate inflammation.

Neck wraps can be rapidly heated in a microwave or quickly cooled in a freezer. They are manufactured from a soft, soothing fabric and contoured for a cosy fit. The filling is made up of 100% natural grains and herbal extracts. Long-lasting warmth can help active people to relax. The herbs aid rejuvenation of body and soul.

Neck wraps in the Herbal Concepts range are offered in a selection of eight colours; dark chocolate, light blue, olive, mauve, charcoal, slate blue, black and lavender plus the environmentally-friendly creamy-coloured "organic cotton fleece". These first-rate, inexpensive goods have been in development since 1996. The fabric options you can select are "cosy mink" or 'ultra soft".

The aromatherapy affects of Herbal Concepts goods are produced by a formula of herbs and grains developed in partnership with physicians. These ingredients consist of a mixture of lavender (a nerve tonic), rosemary (for headache support), valerian root (a relaxant and anti-spasm treatment), hops (sedative effects), peppermint (pain relief and anti-spasm properties), chamomile (for relaxation and as a nerve tonic), white willow (analgesic attributes), spearmint (nerve support), yellow dock (circulatory benefits), yarrow (to support healing), cinnamon (anti-spasm effects), lemongrass (a painkiller and analgesic) and a combination of flax and other natural grains. These seeds retain heat.

Just a minute or two in a microwave followed by a gentle agitation of the filling make these cushions ready to loosen up tense or painful muscles as well as enhancing circulation. A pillow can be fastened inside a plastic container and iced up for one hour or longer to generate the "cold therapy" effects. Cold therapy comforts swellings, sprains and strains plus is a treatment for inflammation.

You can dab a wrap clean with a moistened cloth and then allow it to dry up in the open air. The separable jacket can be machine-washed. Wash in cool water and under no circumstances add bleach. Wrappings can be put into a tumble dryer set on cool or they will dry on a washing-line. The internal herb packet must not get wet.

It is easy to relieve the stress often trapped in the trapezius muscles that extend up each side of the neck from the shoulders to the skull by making your own heating pad. An old, thick, long sock makes a convenient wrap. Buckwheat, oatmeal, millet seed and other household ingredients can be used for the filling.

A DIY Microwavable Herbal Wrap can use essential oils to deliver aromatherapy scents when heated. Spices can produce similar relaxing and soothing effects. Oils such as rose, lavender and peppermint, or spices like cloves, cinnamon and rosemary smell great. Flower petals can also add to the mix. The wrap should stay warm for around twenty minutes after being heated in the microwave. It might be necessary to renew the filling every few months for continued effectiveness.
