Based on neuroscience, the device is a drug-free alternative to restoring calm and balance in a way that "naturally activates the parasympathetic system to counteract the fight or flight response brought on when the sympathetic nervous system takes over." The device uses a combination of breathwork and multisensory stimulation to provide a soothing aromatic experience with lavender, peppermint or bergamot and [gentle vibrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchpoint-solution). The handheld solution for relieving anxiety and stress on the go can now be found at hundreds of [CVS Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-health-engagement) stores across the nation. The device is widely accessible at a time when many people are still struggling to cope with uncertainty and changes adjusting to the new normal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Portable Exhaling Devices:** Innovative portable devices that focus on regulated breathing patterns and multisensory stimulation to calm anxiety and stress. - **Drug-free Alternative:** The search for convenient and drug-free alternatives to reduce anxiety and stress is on the rise. - **Neuroscience-based Solutions:** Advancements in neuroscience are offering new insights into understanding stress and anxiety and ways of countering its effects. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Healthcare:** Innovative portable health solutions that provide instant relief from anxiety and stress have the potential to disrupt traditional healthcare practices. - **Wellness & Lifestyle:** With the rise of stress levels and mental health issues, the demand for readily accessible and effective wellness products is creating opportunities for innovation. - **Retail:** Major retail chains like CVS are recognizing the need for innovative and effective personal care products, creating new opportunities for product distribution and licensing deals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Calming Resonance Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anxiety-relief-device.md) - [Three-Step Calming Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/help-me-calm-down.md) - [Guided Breathing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/get-calmer.md) - [Noninvasive Digital Stress Relievers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vagus-nerve-stimulator.md) - [Mindful Breathing Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindful-breathing-necklace.md) - [Anxiety Support Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anxiety-support.md) - [Guided Breathing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breathe-calmly.md) - [Aromatic Breathwork Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-beem.md) - [Stress-Relieving Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cove.md)
