How many Cherry Pits will you need?

  • To give you an idea, our Large Therapy Bags are 26″ long by 6″ wide. 
  • They are long enough to drape around the neck with each end sitting just over the middle of the chest.
  • Each bag has an external cherry fabric cover that can be removed and washed.
  • The internal fabric bag holds the pits and is subdivided into 8 pockets.
  • Each pocket holds 65 grams. There are 8×65 = 520 grams or 1.15 pounds total (~ 2 cups)
  • Note:  The more pits you put into your bag, the less likely it is to bend.  It’s really a question of how flexible you want the bag to be.  We settled on 65 grams/pocket.
