ENCYCLOPDIA OF USES
STOMACHACHES (DUE TO STRESS)
Stomachaches are a common physical manifestation of stress. When our bodies experience stress, they activate the fight, flight, or freeze response, diverting energy away from non-essential functions like digestion. Using BLAST® may help subside pain when it's been caused or exacerbated by stress. If it does, stress was likely the culprit. If not, there may be a real medical cause.
How blast® works for HEADACHES (DUE TO STRESS)
BLAST® INTERVENES
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).

CHANGE OCCURS
When using BLAST® consistently when stressed, overtime you may not need them in certain situations as they become less stressful because of BLAST®. 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 BLAST®, these new neural pathways can build overtime, progressively reducing the release of stress related hormones that can cause stress.

MEASURABLE IMPACT
Stress can impede the flow of digestion, contributing toward an upset stomach. 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.
