Take care of neck kinks

Posted by adminpm on Mar 7, 2008 in Herbal RecipesNo comments

Most neck kinks occur due to improper sleeping positions so check out you pillow and mattress first. Does your pillow have a pit in it or does your mattress have your body shape contoured into it? Then it’s time to change your pillow or flip the mattress. A few home remedies which I use to un kink my neck are,

  • Use a really strong mentholated balm like Ben Gay on your neck, then wrap you neck firmly and warmly with a woolen scarf. Burns like hell but the warm sensations serve to prod the aching muscles into health.
  • Ask your doctor for any type of anti inflammatory tablets and take them regularly every four hours.
  • You can also use heating pads to stretch out the kink in your muscle.

You can also try to use a mentholated cream like Vicks Vaporub and apply it gently on the kinked area. Rub it into the area and then again apply a warm compress. You can also try to stretch out the kinked muscles at the same time by repeated muscle exercises
