Health: Alternative: Biofeedback on Google DMOZ

The StressEraser monitors your body's pulse and breath to gain a clear picture of stress levels. But it doesn't stop there: It shows you how to reduce stress by employing patented biofeedback methods. Simply place your index finger on the sensor and follow the simple graphics to quiet your mind and relax your body.

Key features include:

• The StressEraser was honored with Frost and Sullivan's 2006 Medical Industry Award for Technology Innovation of the Year for helping individuals achieve "physiological, mental and emotional relaxation" - non-invasively and without drugs.
• The StressEraser is an award-winning, hand-held biofeedback medical device designed to calm your mind and relax your body in just 15 minutes.
• The StressEraser's effectiveness is based on science's understanding of the physiological manifestations of psychological stress.

.
• After just two weeks of 15-minute nighttime sessions, expect to feel consistently calmer, more patient as well as more energetic during the day. Reach for The StressEraser at anytime, day or night, when you want to feel less stressed.

Suggested uses include:

• Leave work behind: Many people find it difficult to get their work day out of their heads when they are at home. You may want to use the StressEraser before leaving work or immediately when you arrive home. This may give you the mental break you need to keep your full attention on your social, recreational or family activities. Nice portable little biofeedback device.
• Prepare for sleep: Many people have a hard time calming their mind and relaxing their body before they go to sleep or take a nap. Using the StressEraser at night before sleep is an ideal time. In this way, your body and mind can benefit from remaining in the recuperative state of relaxation for a long time.
• Prepare for eating: Just prior to mealtime is a good time to complete a session. Meals are usually a time that many people take a break from their daily activities. And you may enjoy your break time more when you are in a relaxed, calm state.
• Deal with worry: A common technique for dealing with worry is to take a worry break. During the break, give yourself permission to not worry until the time is up, knowing full well that you’ll have time to worry about your problems after the break.
• Stop stress build-up: When a day is filled with many little stresses, you can sometimes feel your stress level rise with each one. You can use the StressEraser for a minute or two after each little stress, counterbalancing the effect of each stress. You may find this to be an effective strategy for preventing stress from getting a grip on you.
• Prepare for a stressful event. You may want to use the StressEraser moments before you have an important business meeting or presentation, an important discussion with a family member or friend, taking an exam, or preparing for a job interview. You may find you can prevent much of the stress by preparing yourself ahead of time.

Includes a session timer, illuminated display screen, history keeper to track time and progress, and two AAA batteries. Gentle chime option allows you to relax with your eyes closed.This is the state-of-the-art stress buster!
