When stress builds up, your body feels it. Tight muscles in your neck, shoulders, and back are common signs that stress has taken its toll. When that stress affects your sleep, it feels even harder to unwind. The Brit Finds Neck Wrap helps ease muscle tension, while castor oil provides soothing relief for both your body and mind. Together, they create the perfect relaxing ritual to ease stress, melt away discomfort, and promote better sleep.

 What You'll Need:

  1. Brit Finds Castor Oil
  2. Brit Finds Neck Wrap
  3. Hot & Cold Pad (included in the kit)


Step 1: Apply Castor Oil for Stress Relief

Start by applying Brit Finds Castor Oil to your neck, shoulders, or any areas where you feel tension. Castor oil is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, helping to relax tight muscles and relieve the discomfort caused by stress. Gently massage the oil into your skin, letting it absorb and work its magic.

Step 2: Prepare the Neck Wrap

Heat the Hot & Cold Pad in the microwave for 30–45 seconds. Test the temperature to ensure it’s comfortable. The warmth will help to relax and soothe muscle tension.

Step 3: Apply the Neck Wrap

After applying the castor oil, wrap the neck wrap around your neck or shoulders, depending on where you feel the most stress or discomfort. The gentle warmth from the hot pad will enhance the relaxation effect, easing any muscle stiffness and preparing your body for a peaceful night’s sleep.

Step 4: Relax and Let It Work

Sit back or lie down in a quiet space, and allow the combination of castor oil and the neck wrap to ease your stress. The warmth and soothing properties will help you unwind and feel more relaxed. Keep the neck wrap on for 20–30 minutes or longer if you prefer.

Step 5: Wind Down for Sleep

After using the neck wrap, create a calming environment for sleep by dimming the lights and avoiding screen time. Use deep breathing or meditation to quiet your mind, allowing your body to fully relax and drift into a peaceful, restful sleep.
