The Truth About Anti-Anxiety Patches: Effective or a Scam?
Anti-anxiety patches that claim to emit calming frequencies have little scientific support, according to therapists. While some research exists, it is limited and often involves small sample sizes. However, therapists do acknowledge the potential benefits of anti-anxiety stickers that act as reminders to practice breathing exercises and promote a holistic approach to managing anxiety. Breath work is important in reducing anxiety symptoms as controlled breathing helps regulate the autonomic nervous system. It is important to be cautious of quick-fix stress and anxiety treatments and prioritize self-care, including physical movement, mindfulness, good sleep, and social connections. Seeking professional support is recommended for those struggling with anxiety.
