Shoulder Wrap by Liz Norgaard

I have lived in the Northwest for 45 years, enjoying the natural beauty of the outdoors. Most of my life, sewing and creating has been my affection, following in my mother’s footsteps.

 

With my daughter’s profession of massage therapy, we combined our ideas and talents and came up with shoulder wraps to aid in easing the stresses and strains that we carry. From there I developed an eye wrap to provide soothing therapy for the forehead, eye and nose bridge area.

 

It gives me much pleasure to grow, harvest, and dry the glorious, fragrant lavender and mix it with flax seed for my shoulder and eye wraps. My wraps are restorative, beneficial, and soothing, providing warmth or cold to the desired body area.

 

How to Use Therapy Wraps

Shoulder Wraps

Great for the shoulders and upper back. Can be contoured to fit any part of the body. 

  • Heat Therapy: heat in the microwave for two minutes. Shake/turn after one minute. 
  • Cold Therapy: place in plastic bag in freezer for two hours. 
Caution: Always check temperature to ensure the warmth is ideal prior to use. Do not overheat.

Eye Wraps

Great for the forehead, eyes and nose bridge. Available in eyeglass or heart shape.

  • Heat Therapy: heat in microwave for 25 seconds, then in 10 second increments to the desired temperature. Always test the temperature before use.
  • Cold Therapy: wrap in a towel, or place in plastic bag in freezer for 1-2 hours.
Caution: always check temperature to ensure warmth is ideal prior to use. Do not overheat.

Materials:

  • Cotton/polyester, whole flaxseed, locally grown lavender buds. Flaxseed is an herbal flower seed. The weight of flaxseed is gentle and comforting. When heated it provides moist heat for up to 45 minutes. Combined with the calming scent of lavender, it provides gentle, therapeutic herbal therapy for your body.

Cleaning:

  • Spot clean only. Do not submerge your wrap in water.
