I've noticed as I get older I seem to have more aches and pains. During a recent emergency trip to UGA in the middle of the night, I was trying to keep Bryan and myself awake. I was playing classic eighties music on the car stereo and decided to try air guitar. Big mistake! Instead of my awesome air riffs, I twisted my neck. For the past week, my neck has hurt whenever I turn my head. The pain has moved into my back and down my left arm to the elbow. Even my teeth hurt when I turn my head. No more air guitar for me!
Thank goodness I had received a Body Warmer from Warmables. These are all natural and reusable heating pads filled with cherry pits. I was confused on the concept of cherry pits. Where did they come up with this idea?
The idea of using cherry pits for long lasting heat was inspired by Yvonne’s growing up in Switzerland. Throughout the centuries Swiss farm houses where heated by a wood burning stove located in the kitchen. Cherry pits where heated inside the hearth and then used to keep the family beds warm or to soothe sore muscles and to loosen up congested sinuses. Cherry pits to this day are a great way of holding on to warmth without damaging the environment.
I heated the body warmer in the microwave for 1 minute and applied some of the included eucalyptus oil. I accidentally used too much oil. Be sure to only add a few drops. I managed to clear the lungs of my entire family. I heard complaining for hours about the stinky smell. It also made my neck burn. I will use a dropper to apply the oil forever more. I will also try some different scents (that I like better) like lavender or rosemary. The body wrap did retain heat for over 30 minutes before I needed to place it in the microwave again.
It's made from cotton terry cloth and can be machine washed and dried. This was a plus after the eucalyptus overdose. The 9" by 9" size is the right size to use on specific body aches. I could lean back and place it under my neck, wrap it around my sore arm, or place it on my back.
For people who are cold natured, like me, it can be used under the covers to warm the bed. This makes it worth its weight in cherry pits to me. I hate getting under the covers and finding freezing sheets. I can be sleepy and this makes me wide awake. This Body Wrapper will be used in my bed all winter.
Warmables also makes Eye Masks, Back Logs, Lunch Boxes (I have one of these and they keep food warm!), and Huggables for kids. If you want to pick up a Body Warmer or Body Warmer for kids you can receive free shipping until October 22nd.

Ever since I hurt my back and neck I'm always looking fror medication free modes of pain relief.I
've heard or rice, beans, and many other type of packs for heating but never cherries. I would be interested in trying them....the oil also sounds delightful.
First the mental picture of you playing air guitar made this well worth a read lol - I'm playing
Sounds like something my husband can use. His line of work is ver physical and he is ALWAYS complaining of pains, especially in his neck.
