What is CalmiGo?
CalmiGo is a portable drug-free device which:
- Guides you to regulate your breathing via simple-to-use feedback that adapts to your own performance
- Stimulates your senses by relaxing scent, and with its quad-sensory design. Consequently it helps to achieve calmness efficiently, in a very short period, whenever and wherever you are. With regular use it decreases chronic stress and anxiousness.
Why is CalmiGo better than breathing slowly on my own?
Simply put, CalmiGo enables you to achieve calm more effectively, and effortlessly, particularly in situations when it is hard to achieve it by yourself. Relaxation is achieved when the sympathetic system activity is reduced and the parasympathetic system activity is increased. Slowing your breathing rate, by prolonging your exhalation, is the key to achieving this required change in the sympathetic and parasympathetic system’s activity. Unfortunately this is not easy to do on your own, even for highly-trained individuals. On top of that, regulating your breathing on your own requires mental activity which elevates sympathetic activity rather than lowering it, making relaxation even harder to achieve. In addition, CalmiGo scented element and design, stimulates four of your senses to achieve deeper relaxation, faster
