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.
Take the measurements in your neck using a tape measure. To every measurement, add a half inch or equivalent to 1.3 centimeters to account the seams. There are people who do not want to take the measurements, so a 20 inches length or 51 centimeters and a 5 inches width or 13 centimeters will do. Then cut the piece of your cloth using the measured sizes.
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.
Start cutting the fabric based on the measurements. If socks or towels are used, no need to cut it. Both inner parts and outer parts of the double fabrics will be cut to rectangular forms. And also, the lining should be cut a bit smaller than the out covers. Typically, the measurement of the lining is about half 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.
If inner and outer bags are used, leave the latter an open end. This is regularly opened when an inner bag is heated. Then next is pouring the grain with scent to an inner bag by the use of a funnel. A zipper may be used into the opening to easily open and close the sack.
Place the bag inside the microwave and start heating it for 90 seconds. Continue heating if it not warm enough yet but leave 30 seconds intervals. Then wrap your neck and your shoulders with it in 20 minutes and wait for it to cool down.
