The Science Behind the Stress Eraser

Measuring, Monitoring and Controlling Stress with the Stress Eraser

                Stress is a good thing.  It helps us to perform when important things are on the line, and it helps to motivate us to do our best.  We do not commend our fellow human beings for "grace under fire" for nothing. 

                Unfortunately, due to the ever-increasing demands that modern life places on our time and our lives, we are under more stress than ever.  Some folks are so stressed so often that it has become a way of life for them – and they are paying the price with their health.  There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch – and this is especially true of the great toll that stress exacts on our physical and mental well-being.

Overdosing on stress hormones is a major problem for a lot of people – and increasingly, doctors and therapists have been trying to find effective treatments to help people deal with the effects.  Sadly, they are just going after the symptoms, not the cause.  Sedatives sleep aids and anti-anxiety drugs do not remove the real source of stress in people's lives.

Of course, there is no treatment that can balance a job, a relationship, kids, errands and everything else that orbits our hectic lives.  But psychiatrists have recently learned what yogis and mystics have known for a long time – it is not the stressors in our life that damage us, or even the stress that is placed upon us.  It is our reaction to the stress.

Enter the Stress Eraser.  This simple biofeedback machine, which has been regulated and approved by the Food and Drug Administration, measures your mental and physiological reactions to stress and teaches you how to activate your body's natural defenses within minutes.  No medication, no uncomfortable questions about your parents from your therapists – just handheld medical technology that does its magic through finger sensors and a screen that simulates your stress levels in waves. 

The Stress Eraser measures and monitors stress levels using a technique that interprets your heart rate variability – that is, the beat-to-beat variation in your pulse.  This gives the Stress Eraser information about your nerve activity, which it then interprets for you, along with helpful information on what you can physically do to control your stress levels. 

Biofeedback devices like the Stress Eraser are not just a godsend for the stressed out.  The technology behind it has proven effective for afflictions like anxiety, depression, insomnia, headaches, hypertension, drug abuse and attention deficit disorder.
