HEADACHES (DUE TO STRESS)
Headaches and stomachaches are the most common physical symptoms related to stress. This can inhibit ability to focus, concentrate, and enjoy daily activities. TouchPoints™ can help reduce stress and the physical discomfort.
BLAST
TouchPoint Solution’s wearable devices are embedded with patented BLAST (bi-lateral alternating stimulation tactile) technology. BLAST is scientifically proven to alter the body’s “fight or flight” response caused by stress. The wearables emit alternating vibrations that disengage your standard stress response (sympathetic nervous system), and shift you into the calm, logical side of your brain (parasympathetic nervous system).
Stress can affect blood vessels, contributing to headaches. Studies show that within just 30 seconds of using TouchPoints, people experienced a 74% reduction in their stress levels and a 68% reduction in body sensations related to stress. This data combined with our archived data suggest that there is a consistency in offering users significant relief from physiological and psychological stress in about 30 seconds.
A LASTING SOLUTION
When using TouchPoints™ consistently when stressed, overtime you may not need them in certain situations as they become less stressful because of your TouchPoints™. One of the ways BLAST works is by creating new neural pathways that help modify the memories that trigger our stress response. With continued use of TouchPoints™, these new neural pathways can build overtime, progressively reducing the release of stress related hormones that can cause stress induced headaches.
When to use TouchPoints
SPOT USE:
Use as soon as the pain starts and leave TouchPoints on until the body sensation is gone or has become better and you can resume normal activities.
PREVENTATIVE USE:
If you can anticipate being in a stressful scenario, begin using TouchPoints 15-30 minutes prior and during

USER SPOTLIGHT
“I want to share with you that Touchpoints just saved me a huge disaster. This past week I was honored to sing in a Christmas choir preforming at Carnegie Hall in NYC, on my first day of an eight hour rehearsal day I woke up with a migraine, I thought I was doomed because I get intense headaches. Luckily I packed my touchpoints. In about an hour I was relaxing and the pain was gone and I was able to rehearse just fine. I’m so glad they helped and that I was blessed to go on the stage to a sold out concert with zero stage fright or anxiety at all. I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and thank you for the blessings of relief.”

He likes wearing them and his sleep quality has improved also! I have been wearing them for stress relief and quite by accident found out they also help my headaches!
