The Neuroloom CES-1 works through a process called cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES). It delivers very low-intensity electrical currents, typically in the microampere range, through electrode clips placed on the earlobes. These gentle signals interact with the brain’s electrical activity and influence how certain neurotransmitters and neural pathways function.
- Electrical Modulation of Brain Activity
The mild current travels via cranial nerves (especially the vagus and trigeminal pathways) to deeper brain structures. This stimulation helps modulate the firing patterns of neurons, promoting a shift from a state of hyperarousal (stress or anxiety) toward a calmer, more regulated state. - Neurochemical Effects
Research shows CES can increase the availability of calming neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins, while regulating stress hormones like cortisol. This balance supports mood stability, emotional regulation, and a sense of relaxation. - Brainwave Entrainment
CES has been observed to promote shifts in brainwave activity, increasing alpha waves (linked to relaxation and meditative states) and stabilising abnormal beta activity (often elevated in anxiety and insomnia). - Physiological Outcomes
- Reduced activity of the sympathetic “fight-or-flight” response.
- Improved sleep onset and sleep quality.
- Lower perceived stress and anxiety.
- Enhanced focus and mental clarity through better neurochemical balance.
In simple terms: CES gently “nudges” the brain’s natural electrical and chemical systems into a more balanced state, helping the body shift from stress and hyperactivity toward calmness, rest, and recovery.
