Customer Reviews of StressEraser Portable Biofeedback Device

Customer Review: $299 placebo?
Summary: 2 Stars

I am a retired doctor and thought this would be the perfect "scientific" way to reap the benefits of meditation, which have eluded me in the past. Unfortunately, either my unit is defective or it's extremely difficult to coordinate one's breathing with the little triangles that come up very quickly and very erratically. There is a mechanism that supposedly allows you to adjust the triangle appearance rate to suit your breathing, but I couldn't tell that it does anything at all. It actually stresses me out to try to use this device. Note that I have only had it for a couple of days, so I will keep trying, but at this point, I'm ready to send it back. Also, based on the "feedback" it gives the user, I really don't understand what it is measuring. It simply can't be sensitive enough to detect what it purports to detect without being very much more complex than it is. On the plus side, it does appear to be well made of quality materials. But I'd say it's definitely not worth the price. Unless you're into placebo effect... which is not a bad thing, actually.

Description of StressEraser Portable Biofeedback Device

Portable biofeedback device for relaxation training, activates the body's natural relaxation response by synchronizing breathing with heart rate.

The StressEraser is an award-winning, FDA-regulated, portable biofeedback device that helps you learn to activate your body's natural relaxation response in minutes ? without the use of medication.

Is there stress in your life? Now more than ever, you need the StressEraser®

The premise behind StressEraser stress relief is simple and has been used in practice by physicians, psychologists and meditation experts for more than three decades. This state-of-the art medical technology fits in your pocket and is drug-free and non-invasive. It uses a finger sensor to convert your pulse into a wave form. This wave guides you to synchronize your breathing with your heart rate cycle.

We all know that slowing down your breathing can slow down your heart rate and help you relax. The StressEraser cues you to not only slow your breathing but, just as importantly, to synchronize your inhales and exhales with the natural cycle of your heart rate.



Using an infrared sensor, the StressEraser measures HRV from the pulse in your fingertip and displays it as a wave.



Bad Waves. When you're stressed, your wave is jagged and spiky.


Good Waves. When you're relaxed, your wave becomes smooth and consistent, like a sine wave.
How It Works
From beat to beat, your heart rate naturally increases and decreases in a cycle, known as HRV, or Heart Rate Variability. Using an infrared sensor, the StressEraser measures HRV from the pulse in your fingertip and displays it as a wave. HRV is considered to be the most accurate, non-invasive measurement of your nervous system activity. HRV biofeedback is clinically proven over decades of peer-reviewed research to promote stress relief and relaxation training.

The wave is like a window into your nervous system. When you're stressed, your wave is jagged and spiky; when you're relaxed, your wave becomes smooth and consistent, like a sine wave.

How You Use It
The StressEraser uses simple biofeedback symbols ? squares and triangles ? to cue your breathing. Triangles indicate the "peak" of the wave ? that is, the fastest point of your heart rate in your HRV cycle. Squares provide a scoring system for your waves, so you know when you are focused and breathing properly.

Your goal is to time your inhale/exhale rate so that you begin your exhale at the moment that the triangle appears at the wave peak. It may take several triangles for you to completely sync up, so be patient. There's no hurry! Remember your goal is to relax.

Studies show that HRV biofeedback shows more benefits over time. After a few days and weeks, you'll be able to relax in just minutes. The more you use it, the better you'll feel!
