Review of the Chill Pill: a Drug-Free Alternative for Anxiety and Insomnia

We’ve always been interested in trying something new to see if it helps to improve Mental Health & Wellbeing. The Chill Pill from Mend Your Mental is a small handheld device designed to provide natural relief for mental health issues through electrotherapy stimulation. We recently ordered it to give it a thorough test run and post an honest review, and we were quite impressed with the results and reviews from others.!

A Different Kind of Pill

There are many kinds of “pills” that are meant to help you relax and ease anxiety, but this one isn’t the kind you ingest. The Chill Pill is a small oval-shaped device made of ABS-certified stainless steel, wrapped in a silicone shell. It’s lightweight and about 2.5″ long, with a silicon loop to go around your wrist. It is chargeable by USB and the charge lasts a good long while! The small silver dome on one side is the part you place against your palm. You’ll find the “On/Off” button on the side, along with up and down options to increase or decrease the intensity of the pulse. What pulse you might be wondering? That’s the secret to how the Chill Pill works!

Electrotherapy Stimulation at Work

The Chill Pill works by sending a mild electronic pulse at regular intervals. I found you have to move the device around a bit before you get it to hit just the right spot. The intensity also changes with how hard or soft you grip it. It feels like a very light electric zap. You can adjust the speed to be fast or slow, and the intensity so that you feel it, but without it being painful or uncomfortable.

According to Chill Pill co-founder Cheyenne Kingrea, “Every user has a unique experience where they can feel the pulsing sensation. The position in which you hold it is entirely subjective- as long as you can feel the pulse coming from the large silver section, you’re good to go!”

These light electronic pulses stimulate neurotransmitters that act as chemical messengers that influence and connect your nerve cells. These neurons have the ability to soothe or stimulate your entire body, head to toe. The regular waves pulsing from the Chill Pill send the message that it’s time to relax and let the tension melt away.

How to Use the Chill Pill

The Chill Pill can be used in two ways – as an immediate response to a panic attack or anxious situation, and as a long-term therapy that may help with insomnia, depression and anxiety.

Immediate Benefits:

Panic attacks are confusing and frustrating because they come on with no warning and for no reason. Sure sometimes it’s for obvious reasons like public speaking, but the ones that happen when just doing normal things are incredibly annoying. They make you feel helpless, and unfortunately if they spiral out of control then you can’t breathe and feel like literally dying. You now can have a secret weapon to help pull you out of the panic attack.

Panic can came on like a wave of fear. Just sitting and chatting with the heart starts beating faster and the world around you sounds fuzzy. Feeling heavy and weird then is the time for the Chill Pill. Once you’ve got a good zap, dialing the stress down to a reasonable level and just sit for a moment, trying to concentrate on the sensation in your hand and not the chest. Try to focus on the little pulse in your palm, while holding it first in the left hand as the directions instruct. It’s timed at 20 minutes and if you are still anxious after that, you are supposed to do it again with your right hand.

As the electronic waves pulsate it draws your mind away from the chaotic frenzy of the panic attack, you will start to feel the  heart rate slow and go back to normal. After a short time, you will be able to go back to whatever you were doing and enjoy the evening, as you discreetly kept the little Chill Pill tucked into your palm.

Long-term Benefits:

To obtain a more overall, long-term benefit, The Chill Pill is recommended for daily use. One 20 min. The morning session, in your left hand and one evening session before you go to sleep. For the evening session, it is ok to fall asleep with it in your hand. It will shut off on its own.
