3. How do I put Calm Point on my ear?
Follow our directions here for your first time putting on Calm Point.
Most fans find their own way of putting it on with a little practice - plan about 1-2 minutes for the first time you put your Calm Point on. Use a mirror to find the best way for you and your own ear, after a few tries, you will put it on like a pro.
People are amazed that Calm Point fits nearly every ear - the challenge we have as designers of Calm Point - is that every ear is slightly different and requires a slightly different technique to put it on.
Please feel free to experiment and we would love to hear your technique - post videos with tags #calmpoint on Pinterest, Facebook or Instagram.
4. What materials are Calm Points made with?
Calm Point is made from 3D printed stainless steel in the USA.
If you have one of the rare gold Calm Points it is coated with gold dust and that is what touches the skin. We are calling the gold Calm Point "Energize" because traditionally in Chinese Medicine gold is strengthening or "tonifying".
Additionally, We are working to bring out Calm Point in medical grade stainless steel made in an FDA certified facility in the USA.
