 Chicago, Illinois, July 2011— An estimated 33 million Americans suffer from claustrophobia. To help combat this problem, Healthy Brands LLC has released calmspace™, a proprietary therapeutic formula of 100 percent natural fragrance extracts that helps manage anxiety resulting from claustrophobic reactions in situations that can be found when riding on congested trains, planes and subway cars, crowded elevators and jam-packed stadiums and theaters. www.calm-space.com
Calmspace was conceived after its creators reviewed research previously done at New York City’s Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, a major U.S. medical facility, which provided evidence that different scents can help patients overcome their fear of MRI’s and enclosed spaces. In December 2008, a successful study was conducted, under the supervision of Dr. Michael S. Beaubaire, in Chicago, with the goal of validating the efficacy of the stress-reducing properties in formulas developed by Healthy Brands. Twenty-nine adults with claustrophobia inhaled blends of natural aromas prior to entering a crowded elevator. During the experiment, 91 percent of the study participants who reported anxiety prior to boarding the elevator experienced a significant reduction in anxiety. “Certain scents have been demonstrated to be effective in reducing stress,” said Beaubaire, who is medical director for Healthy Brands Group. “Based on our research and testing to achieve the optimal formula, we believe calmspace can provide a natural, convenient, and portable alternative for those looking for a solution to fit their lifestyle.” Calmspace is available in two patent-pending formulas, lavender and vanilla. In addition, both formulas are sold in convenient and portable multi-use packages that will last users three to six months on average, and are available to retailers. “We saw the results of the first study, and knew we had to do something,” said Jim Burt, president of Healthy Brands. “After conducting a second study of our own, we saw that we could provide people with the non-medicated relief they needed.” Both versions of the calmspace product can be purchased on the company’s website, www.calm-space.com. Founded by Jim Burt and Steve Cole, two long- time friends and businessmen in the healthcare field, Healthy Brands LLC created calmspace, a proprietary blend of essential oils and fragrances that eases symptoms of claustrophobia and stress. Calmspace has two different formulas, and is available for purchase online. SOURCE: Calmspace
