Touchpoints wearable stress relief?

[cat-lady]

Has anyone tried these? They're new wristbands that vibrate and are supposed to use bilateral stimulation to calm your fight or flight response. I'm trying to decide whether these actually work before investing in a pair. If you have experience with them positive, negative, or neutral please share. They make a lot of claims but I'm not sure how much data backs it up. Thanks,

I had never heard of it, but I would like to know too.

I still haven't found anyone who's tried them, but if I do I'll post about it.

If it is not backed by research i would wait. I too am tempted to jump on the wagon investing in ways to get well. There is also a pair of headphones that stimulate the cranial nerve for calming effects. The bracelet i guess buzzes the Peri Cardium meridian known in acupuncture to calm. Also sound like how some wear elastics and snap it to nudge the system out of fight flight.

Day by day is realize there is a big market to take advantage of those wanting sanity and health. Research is key.

Small story.
My granny use to collect my pee for farming veggies. I thought she nuts and creepy. Years later i learned in school that plants need nitrogen...nitrogenous waste as fertilizer. Sometimes research or data needs time to surface.
I hope to learn more about this bracelet.

I shared this with my therapist. His exact words were: "That's scary!!! And completely irresponsible, not to mention unethical!"
Needless to say he was not in fan.:rolleyes:
