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 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.
To choose the right filling for a wrap. These are the common choices to choose from including long grain white rice, flax seeds, barley, and oatmeal. If rice is preferred for use, do not use an instant type because it might be cooked instead in the microwave. An important role her is scent. And in this case, it is possible for essential oil containing lavender to be mixed together with some spices when needed.
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.
Fold the material along the length and the inner part must be facing out. Pins may be used for securing the seams of the cloth and to sew it properly. The sewing process may either be done by hand or machine. The seams must be sewed tightly to avoid the rice grains from coming out when using the wrap. Leave about a half inch in one end.
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 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.
