The stress-relieving cedar egg

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Most of the people have breathing problems in stressful situations, they usually are gasping for a cigarette as a way to calm down. However, those who care about their health more has breathe helping device called Kitoki now.

Kitoki looks like a larger irregular egg, with the white mouthpiece on one end. It is rather weird looking but has a precisely suited cedar chassis.  The device is rounded and matched to the shape of the hand. The Kitoki has also LED light which has a significant function:

 

“A tiny LED lights up when the device senses that you have taken a deep enough breath. The idea here is to prevent hyperventilation and promote calmness, and sometimes a cue can be helpful for that.”

How Kitoki works?

This small device was invented specially for those of us who have breathing problems in the nerve-wracking moments of our life. Kitoki helps you to settle down your breathing. Thanks to electrical measurement of sweat response it recognizes the intensity of our emotional state. This method is called galvanic skin response (GSR). Kitoki measures it by the small metal sensor located under the device’s mouthpiece.

While stressful situation comes you need to put Kitoki into a mouth, put your fingers on metal sensors and start to breathe. During this process, a device monitors your emotional state and gives a buzzing signal when you are completely calm.

Probably this device will not have a huge influence on our lives, but it is an interesting case for those who have nothing to do with their money.

    From the first perspective the topic looked not so important. But when I started to explore it deeply I understand that the devise may be really useful because it can solve different consequences caused by breathing problems. What I wanted to figure out is can ordinary people without any breath diseases use this egg, and what kinds of benefits it give to them in addition to calm ? Also, if it is mostly used by people with breathing diseases is the device recognizable as a efficient treatment and can it be prescribed by the doctors?

    Obviously, people without breathing diseases can use Kitoki, but it is pretty needless for them in not stressful situations. The main benefit of using the egg regularly is breath rebalancing. The Kitoki might be the only supplementation to the medication process.
