How does the Moonbird breathing tool work?

The Moonbird is a breathing tool designed to help users with stress reduction, anxiety management, and sleep improvement through controlled breathing exercises. The device is portable and easy to use, and works by providing feedback to the user during breathing sessions.

Moonbird uses haptic technology to provide physical feedback that users can feel. The device expands and contracts in your hand, allowing you to follow a breathing rhythm. This helps users slow down and deepen their breathing.

By following the rhythm of Moonbird, users are guided through a cycle of inhalation, hold, and exhalation. This helps to synchronize breathing and activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes relaxation.

Moonbird works in conjunction with a mobile app that offers additional features, such as tracking your breathing patterns, measuring heart rate variability (HRV), and customizing breathing sessions to your personal needs. The app also provides insight into your breathing data and offers tips to further improve breathing.

The device is designed to be intuitive to use, simply holding it and following the physical movements. This makes it accessible to people of all ages and experience levels. Moonbird is said to be especially helpful for people who struggle with stress, sleep disorders, or anxiety. Unfortunately, there is no sound scientific basis for the method.
