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 can be microwavable. And these are not like those types which are used traditionally. These new products can cool down quickly and usually, in less than an hour only that would result to not overheating your muscles. The lavender neck wrap which is homemade may be done by using household ingredients and recycled fabrics.
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.
Take measurements of both your neck and your shoulders as well by the use of tape measure. For each measurement, 0.5 inch must be added or equivalent to a 1.3 centimeters for the seams to be accounted. Some people may not want to take measurements so for them, the common measurements would be 5 inches in width and 20 inches in length, equivalent to 13 and 51 centimeters respectively. Using the measurements, cut the clothing pieces.
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.
Begin cutting your fabric based in your measurements. If towels or socks are used, cutting is not needed anymore. For double fabrics and as well as its outer and inner parts, the cutting should be in rectangular form. The measurement of a lining should only be 0.5 inch, smaller than the out covering.
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.
If inner or outer bags are utilized, the latter must be left with open end this is because it is opened regularly if the inner bag will be heated. Next is to pour the grain mixed with scent into the inner bag using funnel. Sewing a zipper may be necessary so that opening and closing the sack is easier.
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.
