How It Works
The CalmMate is a natural, handheld sleep device that combines over 1,000 years of Chinese acupressure knowledge. It works by sending gentle microcurrents to the PC8 acupressure point on the palm, which helps block stress and anxiety signals in the nervous system.
This calms an overactive brain while encouraging the release of endorphins, serotonin, and melatonin your body’s natural “feel good” hormones.
As a result, your body shifts into a state of relaxation, making it easier to reduce anxiety, quiet the mind, and fall into deeper, more refreshing sleep.
PC8 Point
The PC8 acupressure point is linked to the “Pericardium Meridian” which in Traditional Chinese medicine is used to calm the heart and mind. Stimulating this point helps calm the bodies nervous system by reducing stress signals, easing anxiety, and promoting a sense of relaxation. It's used to release built-up mental or emotional tension and fall asleep.
Which Hand?
LEFT HAND: Ideal for relaxation, better sleep, and easing anxiety. The left hand is linked to the right side of the brain, which controls emotions and creativity. Using Calm Carry in your left hand helps relax your mind, ease stress and anxiety, and get your body ready for a deep, restful sleep.
RIGHT HAND: Great for focus while staying calm (perfect for work or study). The right hand connects to the left side of the brain, responsible for logic and analytical thinking. Using Calm Carry in your right hand helps you stay alert, focused, and clear-headed while keeping stress and tension under control.
Sleep is the single most effective thing we can do to reset our brain and body health each day.
