Cherry on Top

Being human means releasing planet-warming carbon emissions into the atmosphere. It happens when we take a shower, charge our phones, or let out a yawn after a long day. Just like humans release carbon pollution, so do businesses - and Hot Cherry® is no exception.

Everyday in the U.S. alone, ecommerce packages travel about the same distance as going to the moon and back ...133,000 times. And it’s not just getting your order to your doorstep we have to worry about - our entire supply chain carries a hefty carbon footprint. Sourcing the perfect materials and transforming them into the Hot Cherry Pillows you know and love means tons (literally) of planet-warming carbon pollution.

We’re on a Mission

As Hot Cherry continues to grow, we have an increasing responsibility to commit additional resources toward our values in order to maximize the positive impact of our products. At Hot Cherry we have long held the conviction that we can be both a great business and a great contributor to healing the environment. In fact, we believe we cannot be one without the other.

Social responsibility is cemented in Hot Cherry’s DNA because we have always believed deeply in making the world a better place.

What Hot Cherry is Doing

The climate crisis is massive, complicated, and overwhelming. So, it’s often hard to know what we can do about our carbon footprint.

Starting today, we’re partnering with EcoCart to empower the Hot Cherry community to make their orders 100% carbon neutral.

For every one of our amazing pillows that ships, you can now offset the specific carbon footprint with a positive environmental impact! This means the full carbon emissions from producing, manufacturing, and shipping your favorite Hot Cherry Pillows to your door would be completely neutralized.

Further more, the Hot Cherry headquarters is powered by Solar, and we use 100% recycled packing paper and recycled inventory boxes. We use only natural dyes for our denim, and of course our pits are salvaged from going to land filled, and cleaned without chemicals. All Hot Cherry Pillows are made in the USA!

Now you can feel confident knowing that shopping at Hot Cherry means making a positive impact on the planet.

So now you’ll know when a Hot Cherry package arrives at your door, you’ll get something you love and you’ll be proud of the fact that you’re taking a small step towards making a big change in the world.

Huh?

What does it mean to offset emissions?

It means that for any carbon emissions released into our atmosphere as a result of manufacturing and shipping items at Hot Cherry we invest in projects that reduce carbon emissions by the same amount. It’s almost like we’re giving the planet an IOU, then immediately paying it back.

How does it work?

Now, each time someone checks the carbon neutral box in our checkout, we will automatically purchase verified emissions reductions, more commonly known as “offsets” through our friends at EcoCart. These purchases support environmental projects, like wind and solar farms that create clean energy, or protecting trees that would otherwise be cut down so that they can continue to absorb carbon from the air. On top of it, we make sure that these projects are doing some extra good like protecting animals or supporting underserved communities.

Why is this important?

Hot Cherry has always been conscious of our impact and actively worked to lighten our carbon footprint. We believe that if we all work together towards positive change, we can make the world a cleaner, healthier place.

What do you mean carbon neutral?

When we say your orders will be “carbon neutral” (“net zero” is another term you’ll hear), that means that we will eliminate, capture, or otherwise mitigate all of the carbon emissions created from making Hot Cherry Pillows and shipping them to your door.

We’ll even give you information about the project your specific donation is supporting, so you know your money is going to the right place.

Just the Beginning

At Hot Cherry we are committed to slowing the effects of climate change, one order at a time.

Carbon offsets are a starting point—an immediate way to reduce our impact. Even though this is a moment to celebrate, we think that it’d be even better if we didn’t emit any carbon in the first place. To achieve this, we’re working to develop projects in our own supply chain that will reduce our emissions directly.

The Power of Us

Our work isn’t done for another important reason. No matter how much progress we continue to make on our own footprint, Hot Cherry’s footprint is actually quite small. The effects of climate change are magnified far beyond Hot Cherry itself.

The only way we can truly begin to reverse the effects of climate change are if everyone does their part.

What can you do?

1. First, focus on the energy efficiency of your home. Efficiency is also the easiest way to save money. Program your thermostat. Check in with your own utility and see if they offer rebates on LED light bulbs, efficient appliances, upgraded insulation or other cost-effective upgrades like efficient water fixtures. Ask your utility if they offer a home energy audit.
   
   
2. If you own a house, installing solar might make financial sense for you. In some cases, you can install solar with no upfront cost while lowering your energy bill each month. In a few areas, you can buy into a community solar array that isn’t even on your property. If solar doesn’t work for your house or you live in an apartment or condo, ask your utility company if they offer a residential green power program. Many do with simple, reasonable terms.
   
   
3. Find brands with legitimate sustainability initiatives. Whether it’s with carbon neutral products, a sustainable supply chain, recycled materials, or eco-friendly packaging, we should all do our best to limit the carbon footprint of the products we buy. 
   
   
4. Challenge yourself to drive less and bike more. Riding your bike forces you to utilize your own muscle power. You’ll get a workout all while helping the environment. Plus, it requires much less energy to produce a bike than it does to manufacture a car. If you can’t bike to work for whatever reason, take public transportation. It puts less cars on the road, which reduces the amount of exhaust filling the air at once.
   
   
5. Opt for reusable bottles, bags, and anything else that you usually use once then throw away. If that’s not an option, make sure to properly recycle any plastic, paper, glass or metal that comes into your life. 

 

If we all do our part by changing our daily habits and making sustainable swaps, supporting companies that care about their impact on the Earth, and advocate for the future we deserve, we can effect real change in the world.

Benefits & Other Things You Should Know

What happens in moist heat therapy? Heat is transferred to your tissues from a wet source to provide relief from pain. When placed on the affected area, moist heat helps relax sore muscles, dilate blood vessels, loosen tight joints, and relieve pain. As moist heat improves blood circulation and relaxes your muscles, it aids in healing. The best part? There are zero side effects!

Why is moist heat therapy used by physical therapists, acupuncturists, and chiropractors?

Moist heat therapy is highly recommended by physical therapists, chiropractors, and acupuncturists to enhance healing because moist heat eases tight muscles and aids in performing therapeutic exercises and chiropractic adjustments.  These practitioners often recommend moist heat treatments of all kinds. Chiropractors often use hydrocullated sand-filled pads applied to painful areas on your body. At home you may use a hot water bottle or a steam towel for the therapy, but we hope you will try our hot cherry pit pillows to provide luxurious comfort while alleviating pain.

How is Moist Heat Therapy Beneficial?

Heat therapy increases the blood circulation of the particular area. That provides relief from pain and speeds up the healing process.

How exactly does heat therapy reduce pain? The nerve receptors transmitting pain signals also transmit heat signals. So, when you apply moist heat to a part of your body, those receptors are stimulated. As a result, the pain signals are drowned out instead of reaching the brain. So, you witness a reduction in the level of pain you were experiencing.


Moist heat therapy is helpful to treat sources of pain that are deep-seated, such as knee osteoarthritis. The condition is caused by the rubbing of bones against each other in the absence of the protective cartilage. Moist therapy reaches the deep source of pain, offering relief. Secondary muscle spasms due to chronic arthritis can also be effectively treated with moist heat therapy. Our pillows are particularly helpful because they easily mold around hard-to-reach joints.

If you suffer from arthritis pain, keep a cherry pit pillow handy! Our pillows are one hundred percent safe to use, unlike a heating pad, our pillows gradually cool down, so there is no chance of getting burned if you fall asleep. Hot Cherry Pillows warm quickly in the microwave, so quick relief is just minutes away.

Moist heat therapy is also recommended for DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) experienced post-exercise, muscle spasms. Relaxing with Hot Cherry pillows is a wonderful treat after a hard workout.

Moist heat also aids the treatment of neuropathy pain by increasing circulation. Place one by your feet in bed and discover a simple pain relief solution for cold and circulation-poor feet.
 
How are moist and dry heat different?

• Dry heat merely warms the surface and can literally dry out your skin.
• Moist heat penetrates deep into tissues
• Moist heat changes the temperature of your tissues more rapidly. The result is a more vigorous response from your body’s temperature receptors.  

Moist heat is a preferential heat therapy treatment for conditions like stiffness, secondary muscle spasms caused by chronic arthritis, muscle spasm, and pain due to posterior neck and back among patients with ankylosing spondylitis.  

Experience the wonders of moist heat therapy packed in our Hot Cherry Pillows.

Is your arthritis acting up? Or are you dealing with a sports injury? Are your overused muscles crying out for some TLC? Our therapeutic Hot Cherry Pillows will provide much-needed comfort. Just microwave one of our pillows for a few minutes and let the unique fill of hollow cherry pits deliver moist warmth that alleviates pain.

What Causes Stiffness and Pain in the Neck?

How much do you know about the structure of your neck? It consists of vertebrae extending from your skull to your upper torso. There are cervical discs for absorbing the shock between your bones. The muscles, ligaments, and bones of the neck not only support the head but also allow its motion. Injury or inflammation to the area can result in stiffness and pain. If you are experiencing debilitating pain in your neck, you should try Hot Cherry therapeutic pillows. It’s a perfect birthday or holiday gift. What better gift can you give than comforting relief?

Adults experience pain and stiffness in the neck from time-to-time. In most cases, overuse or poor posture is the cause. Usually, the condition is not serious and fades after a few days. But there are cases where it becomes a severe issue requiring proper medical attention. In case your neck pain has been troubling you for more than seven days or is extreme, you must consult your doctor or chiropractor immediately.

Common Causes of Neck Pain

Stiffness or pain in the neck can happen because of an array of reasons. They are:

Tensed or Strained Muscles

Muscle strain or tension can lead to discomfort or pain in the neck and surrounding area. It usually occurs due to poor posture, sleeping in the wrong position, or jerking the neck while exercising. If you have a desk job, you should avoid sitting for long hours without changing positions or take breaks because long hours in the same position lead to tensed muscles in the neck. Simply relaxing with the moist, penetrating heat of a Hot Cherry Neck Wrap can relieve many everyday tensions.
Injury


Your neck is vulnerable to injury. Accidental falls, sports, or any other activity where the ligaments and muscles of your neck are forcefully moved outside their normal range of motion make it prone to injury. Whiplash is the condition where you injure your neck because of the sudden jerking of your head. Sometimes cold applications will help soothe acute injuries and one of your Hot Cherry Neck Wraps, chilled in the freezer can bring immediate help if swelling or inflammation is involved. Otherwise, a warmed Hot Cherry Neck Wrap can be just the perfect amount of relaxation to ease the strained muscles and ligaments and the increased circulation from the moist heat can bring calming relief.

Forward Neck Thrust

This diagnosis is given to those with the chronic position of the head that juts forward over the chest. The weight of the head, unsupported by the spine, can put many pounds of weight in an unnatural position, straining discs and sometimes creating permanent damage. Often this is the result of carrying a heavy backpack, as many students do, or it can develop from sitting at a computer or texting with one’s head leaning forward. It can also be caused by sleeping on a bed pillow that is too thick and doesn’t allow the cervical spine to maintain a straight position during sleep. Our Hot Cherry Cervical Neck Pillow was developed in conjunction with a chiropractor whose patients benefited from replacing their bed pillows with our Cervical Pillow and learning to sleep on their backs to improve the posture in the cervical neck area of the spine.

Serious Problems

Meningitis is the inflammation of a thin tissue surrounding your brain and spinal cord. People who have the condition experience fever and headache along with neck stiffness. This condition is considered a medical emergency. Seek immediate medical help if you have these symptoms.

Final words

Ice and heat therapy along with proper exercise are effective remedies for neck pain. And of course using Hot Cherry Therapeutic Pillows can provide that much-needed relief, heated or chilled.

It’s our mission to make pillows that help people feel better, and we want everyone to be able to afford Hot Cherry pillows, so… join our mailing list today to receive discount coupons at various times of the year. (newsletter signup link here)

However challenging 2020 may have been, the hopeful feeling associated with a new year is addictive.We are all cautiously optimistic about what 2021 has in store. One of the popular traditions of ringing in the New Year is making resolutions and setting goals. New Year resolutions about self-care for January are by far the most popular.If your New Year’s resolution slate is still clean, here are some suggestions for your consideration.

Focus on Your Mental Health

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, mental health has and will continue to be a global concern. Pandemic or not,nurturing your mental health is of utmost importance. Promise yourself to take stock of your mental health state.Speak with a therapist if you feel too anxious or stressed and cannot open up to friends and family. You can also consider joining a support group.Both can be done from the safety of your own home. Apart from that, you can begin journaling;writing about things that are bothering you is a proven way to manage stressful thoughts.

Get a Good Night’s Sleep

Most of us aren’t intentional about our sleep. Some of us go to bed but spend time scrolling through social media pages or binging shows. If you have trouble sleeping, consider a resolution to change this habit. Let 2021 be the year when you work on your sleep pattern. Getting a good eight hours of sleep every night will work wonders for your mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Invest in a good quality mattress and feel-good pillows, like Hot Cherry Therapeutic Pillows. Warm a Hot Cherry pillow and place it in your bed before retiring. The warmth relaxes your body and brings increased circulation to chilly toes, helping you relax and drift off to sleep.


Keep Some Physical Activity in Your Schedule

Working out may not top the list of your New Year’s resolutions,but adding more activity or movement to your daily routine is a good thing. Your body, mind, and soul need that. If working out alone bores you, do it with a friend or a family member. Motivate and have each-other’s back.But don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Try to keep it simple, fun, and interesting. If you develop soreness from over exersion, relax those muscles with Hot Cherry Pillows. Take walks in Nature to restore your eyes and stretch your legs from a sedintary lifestyle or from having to stare at a computer for hours on end.

Eat Better but Don’t Starve Yourself

Every New Year, the most common resolution is to lose weigh, and to get in shape. Be sure to set specific goals for you to aspire to. The best way to do that is to eat healthier foods and measure proportions. Avoid restrictive diets or major eating plan overhauls, just balanced, nutritious meals. Add more greens and fruits to your meals. Try new recipes, for your favorite dishes that have less salt or sugar. And drink more water!

There you have it, a few New Year’s resolutions about self-care for January. Follow these for the entire year, and you will surely be taking much better care of yourself.

And if you don’t already have some, Hot Cherry Therapeutic Pillows will be the perfect addition to your self-care kit. Get some today!

Period Pains? Our Hot Cherry Pillows Are Exactly What You Need!

As if bleeding and the mood swings were not enough, cramps can really make it difficult for millions of women to function during that time of the month.

However, one pain management strategy definitely stands out from all the rest — that of applying moist heat on the back and in the abdominal area when cramps strike hard.

When heat is applied on the skin, the pain receptors slow down while the heat receptors become more activated.

3 Common Physical Effects of Too Much Stress on Your Body

Stress does not exactly have a fixed set of universal causes and effects. People experience stress differently and for various reasons. For some, it may be work-related, while for others, it could be a result of family issues. What causes one person to become stressed may be of little or no concern to another. In the same way, we all handle stress differently, some of us being better at it than others. However, in small amounts, stress is not all bad. Often, it is a motivator that’s essential to survival, and our bodies can easily handle it. But long-term, stress tends to manifest itself in the form of physical effects on the body that could lead to  chronic problems. Here are some of them:

Headache

Headache is one of the most common physical symptoms of stress. In a study,it was found that around 45% people experienced some stressful situation before their chronic headache set in. It is a condition that is characterized by pain the head as well as the neck region. It can range from mild to severe, with the latter often rendering the person incapable of engaging in daily activities. 

Tense and Aching Muscles

Another condition often associated with increased levels of stress is musclepain, simply from tensed-up muscles. It can keep you from going about your everyday work, making you feel weak and fatigued. However, it may notonly affect your physical health but your mental health as well. Even if the pain is not too severe, it can still make you feel low and dispirited. 

Low Energy

We all have those days when we feel like all the energy has been drained out of our body.Decreased energy levels can sometimes make it hard to even get out of bed in the morning. It could be a sign of a chronic stressed-out state, or depression. Stress is a common cause of both emotionaland physical exhaustion. 

If you are suffering from any of these symptoms of stress, it will surely make you happy to know that there are effective ways of restoring balance to your stressed-out body. Our Hot Cherry® Pillows are recommended by certified master therapistsas a way of relieving stress and allowing you to relax. The weight and moist heat penetrate deep into the body, fostering pain relief, relaxation and increased circulation directed to tight muscles. Sleep with our cherry pit cushion under your neck, on your chest, or over your eyes and forehead and you will immediately experience its therapeutic effects. Learn more about Hot Cherry® Pillows and the stress-relieving properties of cherry-pit-filled pillows here.

During this pandemic Amazon considers cherry pit pillows among the essentials that are being shipped out because people are stressed, scared, over burdened and aching to the bone. Some are suffering from the coronavirus, and some are professional caregivers. Everyone can benefit from our comforting pillows. And Hot Cherry Pillows can to be shipped to your door in a matter of days.

Our Hot Cherry Pillows can help in these ways:

Aching back and legs, either from standing on them for hours or from couch commuting, overused or underused muscles both benefit from moist heat treatments. I like putting a heated Triple Square Pillow under my raised legs. The heat relaxes stiff hamstrings and muscles, while the elevation reduces the swelling of ankles. Conversely, you can chill that same pillow and enjoy a cold version for inflammation reduction and leg cramp relief.

Headaches and Migraines respond well to hot or cold application of our Hot Cherry Eye Pillow. The weight of the pits sink into eye sockets and bring their soothing comfort deep into the muscles surrounding the eyes, relaxing and reducing pressure. Blocking out light allows the eyes and the body to calm down and rest a bit.  Hot or cold, relief is sweet. And you just may escape the kids for a 20+ minute treatment.

Many people rely on massage for stress relief. Since many spas are closed, you can give yourself a weighted moist heat treatment with one or several Hot Cherry Pillows placed on chest, legs, shoulders or neck pain. The weight and moist heat relax muscle groups, increases circulation, which encourages you to center yourself in calm relaxation, much like a weighted blanket, without weighing down your feet.

Remember that when you heat your Hot Cherry Pillow in the microwave, it is sterilized, making it safe to use with various members of the family. And when it no longer smells delicious, then simply wash in the washing machine and dry in the dryer, to restore its original lovely aroma of cherry pie.

Self Care goes right along with Staying Safe, Staying Home and doing your part to help curb the contagion of Covid-19. We think that having several Hot Cherry Pillows available for family members is essential, during the pandemic, and we hope that you do too.

Thinking of how you can help others? Send them a Hot Cherry Pillow gift to comfort their aches and pains, and to cuddle with during long lonely nights.

Hot Cherry supports Hospice for all the loving care and good works that they do, by donating Hot Cherry pillows to Hospice care facilities in the US and Canada.
 
A little red denim square pillow can be a great comfort for those who are weak and bedridden. Because they don’t move around much, their circulation is poor and they tend to get cold easily. Warm cherry pillows give them much needed warmth and stimulate circulation; bringing oxygen and blood flow to extremities. A cherry pit cushion is much safer than a heating pad because it gradually cools down, and it is cordless, making it far easier to use. Our pillows not only warm the body, but they  can also help with chest and sinus congestion, tummy aches and sore necks. Moist heat is often recommended for arthritis pain, neuropathy due to diabetes, and for the pain of muscle and joint soreness.

Every year we work with various hospice care facilities by having a February fundraiser opportunity. We offer 25% of our sales when their supporters buy Hot Cherry Pillows for themselves or for the caregivers.

Be a supporter, and buy a heart shaped pillow and send it to your favorite caregiver or hospice patient.

From newborns to teens, kids of all ages love Hot Cherry pillows. There’s something about the crunchiness, the weight and the huggability of a Hot Cherry pillow that simply relaxes kids into another space.

If you’ve ever put a sleeping baby down on a cold crib sheet only to have him or her wake up, it’s because that cold crib is nothing like your warm body. However, if you warm the sheets before with a Hot Cherry pillow, then move it aside and cuddle their little body with it, then baby thinks, “hum, nice warm body next to me”. And unlike heating pads, the Hot Cherry pillow gradually cools down, making them safe to leave in the crib. It’s a small body pillow for baby.

Sadly, I’ve had a personal experience with hospital-applied baby heal warmers filled with chemical gels that actually burned a baby’s feet. That will never happen with Hot Cherry pillow for baby. That’s why warming baby’s feet or anyone’s feet for that matter is safely and quickly done with a warm Hot Cherry pillow.

Active kids are rarely willing to jump into bed at bedtime. It can often be a struggle to get them to go to sleep. But your new secret weapon can be a Hot Cherry. Place one in kids’ beds to warm their feet, or let them cuddle a warm Hot Cherry pillow as you tell a bedtime story.
