You might be wondering who makes our therapeutic heating pads, and how! As you will see, each are made in small batches and receive much love and attention. We source the pits from California’s Central Valley, The cherry pits are cleaned and dried by hand, then screened again for any broken or fragile pieces. We then hand cut each piece of organic cotton flannel, and sew the bags together. After that, we hand dye with Indigo, using an ancient method called Shibori.

Indigo is a traditional natural dye derived from the leaves of plants, most notably from the indigofera genus. It is a historically significant pigment, famous for its use in creating the color of denim jeans, and has a long history of being used in textiles across many cultures, from ancient Mesopotamia to modern Japan

Shibori is a Japanese manual dyeing technique that creates patterns on fabric by folding, twisting, or bunching and then binding it before dyeing. The binding prevents the dye from reaching certain areas, creating unique resist patterns. We use various methods like folding with rubber bands, wrapping around pipes (Arashi), or stitching (Itajime) to create different patterns.

No two heating pads are alike, so each is truly one of a kind.

The majority of adults in the US are experiencing some form of mental and/or physical pain. Luckily, we can shape our experience of pain, and learn to find more relief, pleasure and enjoyment in our lives.
