More Information
The method of treatment
ALPHA-STIM AID Works using the electrotherapy method using CRANIAL ELECTROTHERAPY STIMULATION (CES).
Using electrodes that are attached to the earlobes, Alpha Stim transmits a current at the level of microamps (similar to those found in our bodies naturally) that affect the chemical activity of certain groups of nerve cells located in the brain stem and, as a result, increase the level of neurotransmitters - beta-endorphins and serotonin and the activity of alpha waves in the brain.
Beta-endorphins contribute to a state of calmness and peace and serotonin has a role in regulating our mood, appetite, sleep and cognitive functions, including memory and learning. Alpha waves are the brain waves that operate in a state of alertness and relaxation.
The effectiveness of ALPHA-STIM Proven by over 100 rigorous studies conducted over the past 35+ years.
Contraindications
ALPHA-STIM AID May affect the operation of an artificial implanted pacemaker and the operation of implanted fibrillators.
The safety of stimulation has not been established during pregnancy
