If you’re looking to add heat for your neck as part of a self-care routine, there are many products available that can help. Wraps which use the chemical reaction of iron oxidation to generate heat when exposed to oxygen can be convenient, but the cost — and waste — of these disposable items can add up quickly, and if you unexpectedly run out you’ll have to make another trip to the store when you may not be feeling your best. Hot water bottles and general purpose heating pads are unwieldy, and aren’t a good fit for targeted relief. Instead, look for heating pads that drape around the front of your neck like a cloak or scarf, which often provide restful warmth to your neck, shoulders, and upper back. These excellent options each have unique features to help you unwind from the grind.
