The thermometer is easy to tape onto a finger, and it seems to read accurately. The size of the unit is small, portable, and can be discreetly used in many situations (I've brought this to work with me sometimes to use when I'm sitting at my desk). When I compared online for similar "stress thermometers," this unit did not seem different in construction than others but was better priced. The thermometer was shipped quickly and came with some nice "stress"-related freebies. I have no complaints and would highly recommend this unit & seller!

| This device works exactly as written in the description, nothing more, nothing less. As you find and correct tension in your body, blood circulation improves, and your temp increases. Simple, fun, inexpensive, and effective. I am very pleased with the quickness in shipping, and they included some fun sample stress cards. More than a fair deal. |
Fantastic product, made my life better

| The Stress Thermometer helps you not only evaluate the stress in your life, but also how to improve it. I got one as a gift and was skeptical, but found it a really useful tool to relax and calm myself when dealing with all of life's troubles. Now I'm buying them as gifts for all my friends! |
Useful Biofeedback Tool for Hypnotherapists

I use this meter in my professional hypnotherapy practice, to monitor my clients' termperature fluctuations during their sessions. I explain to the client how it works, and then I provide them with a velcro "finger belt" and ask them to place it at the base of a finger, comfortably snug, where you wear a ring (I now use one of those narrow strips sold for bundling cables, cut down a bit and tapered at the end to fit easily thru the 'slot' in its length). Formerly, I had asked clients to tape the sensor end to their finger, but the little finger belt is preferable. I then ask them to slide the sensor end of the wire under the finger belt on the palm side of their hand, making sure the tip is held firmly against the skin by the belt.
I note their initial temperature on the session sheet, then monitor their temperature changes as the session progresses. I usually see a pattern of a slow, steady climb in temperature as the client relaxes, as well as 'sudden' increases of 1-2 degrees when I have given the suggestion of the hands or toes being comfortably warm. The effectiveness is even more evident in subsequent sessions, as their intial pattern emerges and changes in a predictable direction for each client; disruptions to the pattern usually indicate some emotional disturbance to the client on that day (verified by questioning after the session).
A very useful tool, as you can see, and one that also lends 'credence' to the relaxation and induction procedures for the client as well, especially those who put faith in measurable data and are thus reassured by the results!

Temperature data useful, but flip-out stand is useless

Works as described. I was able to warm my hands the first time in about 5 minutes from 70 to 86. After a couple days I can get 92 sometimes. Certainly interesting and a good indicator of stress.
But, the desktop stand that flips out of the back only supports it on one side, is very difficult to get out without a knife and is unbalanced and unstable. I had to make my own stand for it.
Would have been nice if they included the Velcro strap they described using in the instructions. |
