Abstract
A therapeutic wrap adapted to use with a vaporizing ointment for relieving the discomfort of colds and sore throats. The invention includes a therapeutic kit having a vaporizing ointment and a wrap. The wrap is composed of an elongated piece of fabric, preferably flannel. The fabric has a throat end and a chest end. The throat end has a width approximately corresponding to the length of a human neck. The chest end has a width greater than the width of the throat end. At least two mating portions of hook and loop fastener are attached to opposite surfaces of the fabric. The hook and loop fastener secures the wrap around the neck so that the chest end drapes over the chest. The wrap helps to keep the patient's neck and chest warm and protected from drafts so that the vaporizing ointment can have its maximum effect. The wrap also protects the patient's clothing. The wrap is comfortable, looks neat, and holds securely, so that the patient's mobility is enhanced. The invention includes a method of treating colds and sore throats by applying the vaporizing ointment to the neck and chest, covering the neck and chest with a wrap, and securing the wrap with hook and loop fastener.
