A Quick Refresher on The Chill Pill®
The Chill Pill® is a small, handheld device that uses gentle electrical pulses to stimulate acupressure points. This technology, known as Pressure Point Therapy Technology (PPTT), combines the benefits of acupressure with the soothing effects of electrical stimulation. PPTT helps to:
- Increase circulation: This can help to bring fresh blood and oxygen to the area, promoting healing and reducing pain.
- Stimulate nerves: This can help to release endorphins, which are natural painkillers.
- Relax muscles: The gentle stimulation can help to relieve muscle tension and promote relaxation.
Which Chill Pill® is Right for You?
The Chill Pill® comes in two versions: the original Chill Pill® and the Chill Pill™Plus. If you love the feeling of warmth and want an extra layer of relaxation, the Chill Pill™Plus with its heat therapy feature is the way to go.
