NuCalm: Sedation Alternative
The world’s first and only patented technology for interrupting stress at the midbrain and guiding brain and body function to relaxation.
NuCalm consists of four different techniques that combine to stimulate the body’s natural relaxation pathways. The first is the administration of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) through a nutrient supplement or a topical cream. GABA is the body’s natural relaxation chemical. When GABA works on your brain, it shuts down activities in preparation for sleep.
Normally when you’re stressed, your body resists GABA, only taking it up in small amounts. But with the cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) device, the GABA receptors are more open. The CES also stimulates your brain to produce serotonin, another important sleep regulator chemical.
Headphones are used to deliver music that contains binaural beats–different rhythmic signals in each ear–which helps change your brainwaves from the rapid speeds of an anxious brain to the slower speeds at the edge of sleep.
Light-blocking glasses further help your body establish that it should relax. The combination of these four components provides a fully immersive experience, erasing stress and anxiety to achieve a deep level of calm within minutes.
