Got stress?  Got tension?

This summer has been the most stressful of my life.  With wildfires burning on or near our property all summer, my body is so full of stress and tension. Now that things are calmer, it is time for relief and comfort.

If you are like me, most of your stress and tension goes straight to your neck and shoulders.  Yoga helps this tightness, as does acupuncture and massage, but I want to be able to relax and release in bed or on the couch too.

Aromatherapy has become a big part of my family’s life.  The healing power of essential oils has proven effective for all the maladies we have suffered this past year. This summer, we have used essential oils to help our lungs deal with the smoke, as well as lighten our mood and relieve stress using an Oil Diffuser.  Now, we will bring the power of aromatherapy to our tense muscles and necks.

We were sent the cutest Spa Comforts Hot Diggity Dog. This microwavable or freezable wrap combines the healing properties of aromatherapy with hot or cold therapy.  Plus, it is super adorable!

Its been said that “a dog is a man’s best friend”. Especially one as soft and comfy as this. Well, we think this dog will be everybody’s best friend! Just pop the pup in a microwave and drape him around your shoulders. Feel the tension melt away as your new best friend leads you home to comfort and calm. Microwave to release scents of comforting clove, calming cinnamon and uplifting eucalyptus, and then apply that warmth wherever your weary muscles need it most.

Nothing can give you a warm embrace like a favorite pet. Filled with the natural plant herbs cinnamon, clove and eucalyptus, these Comfy Critters release delicious aromatic warmth to wrap you up in cuddly comfort. Warm in the microwave, drape over your shoulders and feel the tension melt away as your new best friend nurtures you in a warm aroma of calm serenity. Chill in the freezer and use to cool down on hot summer days. Makes a great bedtime snuggle buddy.

I don’t own a microwave, but I will definitely use this cuddle wrap in the freezer.  I have read that an oven may be used, but I have not tried it yet.((http://community.babycenter.com/post/a37424377/heating_a_rice_sock_without_a_microwave))

The Hot Diggity Dog aromatherapy wrap smells wonderful, and the dog is just so appealing for grown ups and children alike. It is already removing my stress and tension with its cuteness!
