Here are a few tricks that you can use to loosen that stiff neck and move on with your day as much as possible: These cooked herbs can be prepared as a warm compress and used on the muscle (or just wrap the wet herbs in an old pillow case and press on your muscle). If you’re in a bind, you can try using chamomile tea bags7. While it’s always best to talk to your doctor about any pain you may be experiencing, these herbal remedies are a great place to start if you’re looking for some holistic, natural tricks. A final note: Muscles love to be warm, and they don’t like being kept stationary. That said, with the help of a physical therapist or physician, keep trying to move your neck and take deep breaths; you can also use heat pads, warm compresses and warm, steamy baths if possible!
