The ETS Anxiety Relief Breathing Necklace assists with the following:

✔ Mindfulness 

✔ Decreases blood pressure

✔ Improves sleep

✔ Improving Immune response

How it works:

By restricting your exhaling to the required duration you calm yourself down naturally by moving your nervous system from the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight)  to the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest.)

This is a great way to calm yourself down naturally before an event or if you have had a stressful day. 

How to use:

Step 1. Place device loosely between your lips

Step 2. Inhale gently through your nose and let the air flow out through the straw. Aim for an 8-10 second exhale

Step 3. Repeat for 2- 5 minutes as needed to restore calmness

NOTE: Do not inhale through the device. This is just for the exhale.

Aim to do this exercise once a day and also if you feel the onset of anxiety or stress. Regular daily breathing practice will train your nervous system for resilience over the long run.
