1. Getting to know your device

1.1 How does the stress releaZer work?

The beurer stress releaZer was specially developed for the prevention and treatment of stress. By covering the diaphragm area with the stress releaZer, primary nerve pathways in this region are relaxed and your natural breathing rhythm is restored. The built-in vibration motor transmits pulses to the user, which allows them to breathe normally. The stress releaZer also has an illuminated ring, which functions as a mood light. While the device is in use, the illuminated ring pulsates in time with the user’s breathing rhythm. The stress releaZer also has an optional heat function on the underside for a more comfortable application.
