A great tool for Raynauds and other conditions
After a friend of mine was referred for thermal biofeedback training at Mayo for relief of migraines, I "googled" it to see if it would be helpful for Raynauds (vasoconstriction to my fingers, toes, and ears associated with cold temperatures). In one appointment the doctor explained it to me, and tried a few settings with discussion I between each trial. After a few attempts, he found my"sweet spot" in which a 3-minute session raised my finger temperatures by5 degrees F. He suggested I buy Breath Pacer for my IPAD and wrote the numbers I should start at, working slowly to be able to slow my breathing even more during my sessions. I use it 3 times daily,and not only does it help my Ds, but my blood pressure is decreased by it also. I would recommend this for people who have Raynauds, migraines, hypertension, or who would just like to reduce their stress levels. By practicing with the machine 3 times daily, I find I can slow my breathing similarly when I am hiking I or doing other activities in cold weather, and help to increase the blood flow to my fingers while I am doing what I love.
