The average American takes 13 breaths a minute.
To relax, you need to breathe closer to 6 breaths a minute.
That’s why we created the StressEraser.

It sounds easy. “Just breathe!” As children, our parents would try to calm us down by telling us to “take a few deep breaths.” Now that we’re grown up, we know that perhaps it’s easier said than done. So why is it so hard? Well, first off, breathing is a funny thing. In general, our body is divided up into things we |
can control and things we can’t. We can walk and talk, but most of us can’t change how we digest food, or how our liver produces enzymes. Breathing is one of the few things that fall into both categories. Most of the time, we are completely unaware of how well we are breathing.
Like right now.
You probably have no idea if you are inhaling or exhaling, or how fast or slow or deep or shallow you are breathing. But unlike our liver function, we can change the way we breathe. So go ahead — take a deep breath! Inhale—2—3—4—Exhale—2—3—4.
That felt good, right?
That simple ability — your ability to consciously change the way you breathe — is what makes the StressEraser work. The more stressed out we get, the shallower and faster and tighter and higher our breathing becomes. And we start to feel “stressed.” And if that happens a lot, our breathing “autopilot” gets set too high. This is what the StressEraser helps you fix.
How? In a nutshell, using biofeedback the StressEraser helps you see how your breathing rate affects your pulse rate. As you slow down your breathing and find your optimal breathing rate, you will literally see the pattern of your pulse rate go from jagged waves to long, smooth waves.
Here’s where the magic happens: once you start making smooth waves, you activate something called the parasympathetic branch of your autonomic nervous system. That’s quite a mouthful, but there is a simpler name — it’s also known as the "relaxation response." By prompting you to synchronize your breathing with your nervous system, the StressEraser helps you learn to relax your mind and body. And the good news is that it does what you’d think — it helps your body relax by releasing calming hormones and relaxing your arteries. It’s your body's natural, built-in repair system.
Once you can see what it looks like to breathe in a relaxing way, you will soon start to feel relaxed. Then, after a while, feeling relaxed will become second nature. Even when you don’t have your StressEraser handy, you will become better at recognizing your body’s reaction to stress — and become able to stop it and even reverse it.
We made the StressEraser as simple as we could but, as Einstein said, no simpler. If you’d like to read more about the StressEraser — the science behind the product, customer and doctor testimonials, our clinical research summaries, or how to use it — please feel free to browse this web site.
