Hot compress
The cherry stone pillow is a very old home remedy. It is a very good alternative to traditional hot water bottle. The cherry stone pillow is also known as "dry water bottle." Since no hot water can run out, the pillow is very suitable for infants. The action is based on the absolutely dry cherry stones, that charges with heat and holds this heat over a long period of time. The heat is emitted slowly and specifically to the affected part of the body, which has a soothing and relaxing action. In addition, the pillow does not cool down as much as the water-filled hot water bottle.
The pillow is also very good for the abdominal massage of babies and young children with gas problems. It can be used as a “tummy-ache-pillow”: you can relieve the symptoms of your baby by massaging softly the little belly with the pillow.
You can heat the cherry stone pillow in the microwave for about 1 minute at 600 watts, with a cup of water beside it. If necessary, add 15 seconds and then, if it needs to be warmer, heat it at intervals of 15 seconds, until the desired temperature is reached. Pay attention to not heat it too much and read the manufacturers notes before use. But please make sure, that it is completely cooled between two applications, before you re-heat it in the microwave. Otherwise it can happen that the cherry stones start to glow, which may burn the fabric. The microwave plate where the cherry stone pillow is lying, should also be completely dry and clean to avoid burning of the fabric.
Note: Dangerous if improperly heated because of fire hazard. Please check both the operating instructions of the microwave and of the cherry stone pillow manufacturer.
Don't use it in hot days, only in cool or cold days. If used with babies or little kids, consult your pediatrician before use.
For example, for tummy gas in infants and young children, abdominal pain, heating of the bassinet, crib or stroller, joint pain, tension, colds, menstrual cramps, pain in the neck, shoulder or back.
