People cannot really avoid to have overworked muscles especially when they are really focused on their work, thus, making them stressed, letting them experience muscle pains, and making them feel uncomfortable. Relieving sore muscles can be done in many different ways. One common way is through the use of lavender neck wraps.
The products are made using only a microwave. These are considered as more effective than the traditional types since these can cool down faster, and this is considered as an advantage because the muscles will not be overheated. A lavender neck wrap made at home will be using recycled fabrics and some household ingredients, thus, being cost effective as well.
So start on choosing the suitable fabric. You may also purchase a new one but can recycle as well such as old shirts, towels, socks, etc. Always remember to avoid on using materials which contain metals since these may possibly catch fire if the wrap is being heated. A large and a thick sock is recommended because the shape is in tubular form and the sides are sewn already.
Measure your neck and as well as your shoulders using the tape measure. Add a 0.5 inch or 1.3 in centimeters to each measurement you have because the extra areas will be accounted for seams. Some people cannot take measurements and so 20 inches of length or 51 in centimeters and 5 inches of width or 13 in centimeters is fine. After, cut the pieces of cloth according to the measurements.
The wrap filling must be appropriate. Oatmeal, barley, flax seeds, and long grain white rice are some very common choices from which you can choose from. When you prefer to have the rice, instant types must be avoided to prevent cooking it inside a microwave. Scent has a very important role in this method. And so when needed, essential oils with lavender may be mixed with other spices.
Cut your fabric according to your measurements. If a sock or a towel is being used, these may not need cutting. The inner parts of double fabrics are cut into a rectangular form and as well as the outer parts. The lining must be cut a little bit smaller than out covers. The typical measurement would be half an inch smaller.
Then after, fold this material along its length and make sure that inner parts are facing outwards. Using some pins in order to secure the cloth seams when sewing is fine. The process of sewing may be done either through hand or through machine. It is important that seams are properly sewed in order to avoid rice grains to come out when utilizing the wrap.
When using the outer and the inner bags, just leave the latter with an open end since this will be opened regularly during heating. Then after is you pour in the scented grain to the inner bag with the use of a funnel. Sew a zipper to the opening so the can be opened and closed easily.
Place the inner bag in a microwave then heat it for about 90 seconds. If not yet warm enough, continue on heating it but leave a 30 second interval. Then after, wrap it around your neck and shoulders for 20 minutes or until it will cool down. Wash and replace the fabric and the filler every 3 to 6 months.
