Get relief from stress in as little as 15 minutes, without the use of medication, with this Biofeedback Stress Relief Coach. It teaches you to synchronize your breathing with your nervous system activity for optimal physical and mental relaxation.

Breathing exercises, like those used in yoga and Tai Chi, can induce a relaxed state when your breathing coincides with the activity of your vagus nerve. Your vagus nerve is the nerve responsible for decreasing your heart rate and “pacifying” your organs.

You can buy the Biofeedback Stress Relief Coach at Hammacher Schlemmer.

“After determining your pulse, a wavelength that represents your vagus nerve is shown on the easy-to-read LCD, and the unit provides visual and audible cues that help synchronize your breathing with the peaks of the wavelength, resulting in optimal vagus nerve activity and relaxation. About the size of an MP3 player, the unit stores unobtrusively in a pocket for convenient travel. 3 3/4″ L x 2 1/2″ W x 3/4″ D. (8 oz.)”

Acupressure is similar to acupuncture, without the needles. Certain areas of the body, when stimulated, can help other areas, or relieve an ailment.

This gadget gives natural relief for motion sickness without the use of medication because it stimulates the median nerves located at the inner wrists, which is supposed to help reduce the nausea many people suffer from in cars, boats, and planes.

You can buy the Motion Sickness Relief Wrist Band at Hammacher Schlemmer.

“Similar to acupuncture, but without needles, the device transmits gentle electrostatic pulses to the wrist; the median nerves have been shown to affect the nerve stimulation between the brain and stomach. Designed for use 30 minutes prior to travel, it does not require abstaining from food or drink and does not interfere with medications. (Not for use with cardiac pacemaker.) Water-resistant adjustable band. Built-in battery provides 22 months of use before requiring factory replacement. 1/2″ H x 1 1/4″ W x 9 1/2″ L. (1 1/4 oz.)”

Everybody loves to have their feet pampered, and why not get the health benefits of acupuncture while it’s happening?

The Miracle Foot Acupuncture claims to use 36 points of acupressure on each foot to help assuage 72 different bodily health problems, painlessly in just 5-minutes a day.

You can buy the Miracle Foot Acupuncture at Unbeatable Sale.

“Acupressure of the feet is based on the scientifically researched notion that pressure applied to specific points on these extremities benefit other parts of the body. It’s a method of massage that relieves tension through the application of acupuncture to the feet. When blood circulation is properly restored, aches and pains in the limbs and spine are naturally reduced. The Miracle Foot Acupuncture is the safe method to relieve pain by addressing the root of the problem: proper blood flow.”

People have been using acupuncture medicine for thousands of years, so it must be doing something for people right? It’s supposed to give you a natural energy boost and help you to stay healthy and relaxed.

I personally don’t have the best relationship with needles, but maybe the Acupen is the solution to this problem. You don’t actually stick a bunch of needles into your body when you use the Acupan. Instead the device uses a low-intensity electric current to give you a sort of acu-message.

You can buy the Acupen at Amazon.com.

“Featuring an acupuncture locater function that can accurately locate and signal the over 350 classical acupuncture points on your body, the Acupen sounds when it has located important acupuncture locations…Once the Acupen has located a desired point on your body, it administers a gentle, low-intensity electric current that stimulates and relaxes at the same time. As a result, you’ll experience the benefits of acupuncture therapy in a painless, gentle and simple manner.”

Up until now, I’ve only used daylight lamps at my desk, mainly because I couldn’t find something that looked nice enough and fit with my living room decor. But this lamp would do the trick, I think.
