Calmstone’s first adopters were medical professionals who have now endorsed the device for anxiety and stress relief. Upon attendance of the 2023 American College of Lifestyle Medicine Conference, we were featured on MedScape which lead to Calmstone quickly gaining attention from a broader audience consisting of wellness experts, corporate wellness program directors, and holistic health practitioners.
As word spread about its effectiveness, Calmstone began to be integrated into various therapeutic practices and corporate wellness initiatives, solidifying its reputation as a reliable tool for enhancing mental and physical well-being.
Chronic Pain Management
"As a chronic pain coach myself I have to say that it is amazing! The visual biofeedback is a really intuitive way to implement calming techniques such as breathwork and see how it affects your nervous system in real time." -Simone H.
“Such a wonderful product! My colleagues and I are big fans and recommend them for our patients who are struggling with pain and anxiety.” -Ericka Dickson, LCSW
Therapy Practices
"Utilizing the Calmstone during a therapy session was an awesome experience for myself and my client. In real-time we were able to track their baseline physiological state and track progress to achieve calm utilizing Calmstone’s visual feedback light indicators. Typically, we base progress with emotional regulation on self-reporting, but Calmstone actually provides feedback in-vivo for the client and therapist to record. Utilizing Calmstone regularly can provide regular exercise for the client to learn to master emotional regulation through controlled breathing and other coping techniques. It is truly an awesome device that is handheld and convenient to use in therapy practice." - Jacob Cordero, MS
Relax
"With a history of insomnia (especially before big events) my hopes of getting a good night of sleep were slim. The Calmstone was so effective in slowing my mind down! I was able to fall asleep in a short period of time which was such a breakthrough in my life! It proved to me that I have control over my state of mind. It is an amazing little tool." -Alex C.

The Science
Calmstone harnesses the power of thermal biofeedback, a scientifically validated method that helps users understand and regulate their body's stress response.
Thermal biofeedback works by monitoring subtle changes in skin temperature, which is directly linked to blood flow and the autonomic nervous system. When we experience stress or anxiety, our blood vessels constrict, leading to a drop in skin temperature.
Calmstone provides real-time feedback on these changes, empowering users to consciously engage in relaxation techniques that promote vasodilation, or the widening of blood vessels, which in turn increases skin temperature.
By training the body to respond to stress with relaxation rather than tension, users can effectively reduce anxiety, manage chronic pain, and improve overall well-being. -
Research Validation & Real-World Impact
Read the research hereUnder Dr. Ly’s guidance, Calmstone has undergone extensive testing and has shown promising results in both research settings and real-world applications. In studies led by Dr. Ly, participants experienced reductions of anxiety scores in 80% of biofeedback sessions, and reductions of chronic pain scores in 60% of biofeedback sessions. Additionally, sleep quality improved for the majority of participants, underscoring Calmstone's ability to enhance overall well-being.
Calmstone’s approach is not only grounded in science but also offers a natural, effective, and non-invasive way to enhance mental and physical health through consistent practice.
