Why cherry pits?

Who knew that the cherry pits we throw away are actually the foundation of a powerful natural remedy. The dense cherry pits, seeds, stones… whatever you call them, have stellar heat retention properties. A cherry pit heating pillow can retain its heat for about 20 minutes, which is what most doctors recommend for targeted heat therapy.

Cherry pits are incredibly effective at retaining and offering therapeutic heat. We also love that the cherry pit is considered a waste product and not a food source like other heat packs made with rice, flax and corn. By utilizing cherry pits, we divert tons (literally) of “waste” from California landfills every year and give the cherry pit another chance to shine.

Since our family has been making cherry pit heating pillows for decades (Learn More), we have seen how durable and impactful this product is. With proper care, these heating pillows can maintain their therapeutic properties for up to 30 years.

And when it’s time to retire your heating pillow companion, your 100% compostable heating pillow will gladly return to the earth.

To the unsung hero, the cherry pit, we are grateful for the warmth and comfort you bring to our lives and the lives of so many. We are cherry blessed!
