MEDICA 2018: Find your inner peace with the stress releaZer

Stress is becoming a widespread illness. Whether it's rushing from appointment to appointment, multiple stresses from work and family life, putting yourself under pressure, or emotional conflicts – stress can be caused by a range of factors. Some people are good at handling stress, but most are sensitive to it. The Beurer stress releaZer relieves stress symptoms in a natural way, without medication or expensive therapies. Instead, it uses breathing training and rhythmic vibrations. Beurer is showcasing the new product and the "beurer CalmDown" app at MEDICA from 12 to 15 November in Düsseldorf.

Harmonise your breathing

If you're feeling stressed, you're certainly not alone. One in five people in Germany suffer from permanent stress. Although women in employment are affected particularly often, the impact of stress is also felt by men. One way of reducing stress is heart rate variability (HRV) training. The term heart rate variability (HRV) describes the ability of the human body to adjust the frequency of the heart rhythm to different situations. The stress releaZer specifies a special breathing rhythm, which increases the body's resistance to stressful and tense situations.

It is recommended to use the device when lying down. Covering the diaphragm area with the stress releaZer relaxes the primary nerve pathways in this central region of the body and restores the natural breathing rhythm. The built-in vibration motor transmits pulses to the user, which allows them to breathe correctly. The low-frequency rhythmic vibrations also help to relax the heart and help the user to switch off. The breathing training comes in three cycles of differing durations (10/12/14 seconds). The user simply needs to select the duration which best suits their needs. An optional illuminated ring pulses at the configured breathing rhythm and acts as a mood light. There is also an optional heat function on the bottom of the device to further aid relaxation. It is recommended to use the stress releaZer for 10 to 30 minutes every day.

The "beurer CalmDown" app – a virtual relaxation coach

The stress releaZer can be connected to the free "beurer CalmDown" app via Bluetooth®. The app is your virtual relaxation coach for optimal relaxation. Conscious, regular exercises reduce your personal level of stress over the long term and support you on the path to inner balance. The "beurer CalmDown" app provides the following benefits:

• Analysis of individual stress perception and a professional 6-week programme, in which the duration and frequency of the exercises are gradually increased
• Customizable exercise units, selectable and aligned to your personal well-being: music, breathing rate, vibration strength, binaural sounds, light and heat
• A calendar function for recording periods of use
• Guided breathing exercises (HRV training) with sound and light support, and helpful explanations of use

The Beurer stress releaZer makes it easy to enjoy short breaks and recharge your batteries.
