Best Practices for Self-Administration
Here are some pointers to ensure proper self-administration of NuCalm:
- Find a comfortable place to rest for your NuCalm session
- Use a blanket to stay warm – you may feel a chill as you relax
- Apply the NuCalm cream – one full pump on each side of your neck, applied on the carotid artery
- When applying the CES patches, make sure they are on the soft spot behind the ear
- Simply turn on the CES unit – it is set to work at the default values
- Do not press any buttons
- You should not feel any sensation
- Place the eye mask on your forehead
Typical NuCalm sessions last between 20-60 minutes, based upon your current level of stress and sleep quality – the higher the stress, the longer the NuCalm session. You will experience shorter sessions with consistent use. We suggest you NuCalm daily to improve sleep quality and increase stress resilience.
The end of your NuCalm session is indicated by a feeling of restlessness, as you will simply “wake up,” the same way you would after a nap. You will feel relaxed and refreshed. Typically you will not fall asleep during NuCalm; you should simply just relax. If you are under increased stress or experiencing poor sleep quality, you may fall asleep during your session, but it is not the ultimate goal. The goal is to reach a natural ‘meditative’ state, where your mind and body achieve optimal healing.
