As most of my precious readers know, I suffered from the beginning of my teen years until last year with very bad reproductive system issues one being endometriosis. It got to the point to where I knew I only had 2 weeks each month to do everything from trying to work, clean house, do laundry, etc. Only 2 weeks. I have since had surgery and was put on meds for pain, anxiety, and meds to keep the endometriosis from growing as quickly.
I am a totally new person and that's true. I'm really not the same person I used to be all because of less pain. Even still though, I do have flare-ups. I still have pretty intense symptoms each month. To get to the point, I wanted to introduce y'all to Lavender Green. I have a Body Wrap from them that is specifically for abdominal areas and back, but I find that it works on ANY part of your body.
VARIETIES OF BODY WRAPS
Now, this body wrap or body pillow, or body pad whatever you prefer to call it, is not your regular rice filled body wrap from Grandma Edna. This little lovely is filled with buckwheat berries & lavendar buds that have amazing tension relieving and calming/relaxation techniques. You can choose from many different types. Like I said, mine is the tummy/back wrap. I had it just in time for an awful flare up last week. I had serious stomach issues again & was able to find so much relief in the pad.
ENDLESS USES
This lovely, fashionable body wrap can be heated or chilled. I'm very fond of the effects of mine being chilled in the freezer. It surprisingly lasts a very long time after only 10 min. in the freezer. I also have migraines quite a bit & have used it on my temples and neck. I laid down on my side with the body wrap under my temple & after a good 30 minutes I got up feeling much better and more relaxed. It also completely relieved neck pain for me.
I am so in love with the cute pad, I've been going on about it all week. I've found so much use in it.
I love that it's such a large size so you can use it anywhere, literally. It holds well and feels so wonderful after being in the freezer. Although I've yet to heat it. Another thing I totally admire about it is that it's scented. Not strongly, not enough to take your breath, but it's scented from the lavendar which is one of my favorite scents for relaxing (really works wonders for my anxiety!)
I actually have it laying right beside me now. I slept with it like a pillow and loved it! It holds a great firm shape. The reason I slept with it was to help with anxiety. It's unbelievably relaxing and calming even just having it near & getting small whiffs of the lavendar is calming.
EVEN THE KITTIES ARE LAVENDER GREEN FANS!
I'm not the only person who's enjoyed the body wrap. My neice who's only a year old snatched it from me, laid it in the floor & curled up with it under her head as a pillow! It was adorable, but she had allergies and took a big sniff & sneezed. Then I came in from my nephew's ball game to find Fuzz (my cat) curled up on top of it! I'm having to fight the cat for it now. :)
MY BENEFITS
It's definitely beyond amazing. I've really gotten so much out of it already. Perfect for any pain, no matter where. Chilled, it gets deep down where the pain and inflammation is and relieves it. I know if it were warmed it'd certainly be the best option for relieving tired, sore, strained, or damaged tissues/muscles. It also relieves tension in the neck, temples which in turn relieves stress. It's really a plus for everything.
Overall, I'd give this one a 100% absolutely perfect! I could not be happier. I'm used to taking 1-2 BC powders every day or two, pain killers, anxiety meds. & usually every day. The body wrap has relieved a lot of my pain to the point of not needing medication some days. If I can take a few minutes to lay down right when I experience an intense migraine I can usually lessen the intensity by a mile then of course a BC when it's time to get up and deal with chaos. lol
