I'm glad you were able to find a fundraising platform that allowed you to bring your product to the marketplace.

Thank you, I just launched a Kickstarter campaign if you would like the link for that. This has been challenging and am proud to beat the odds. Still have work to do.

I created the Temple Massager in my last years of my military career because I was suffering from facial muscle clinching and that would lead to headaches. As the patent was clearing my friends were going to Iraq and Afghanistan. I served with two men in the Army uniform that gave all and so in their honor I committed to give the Temple Massager to service members and veterans. Donated 1,300 so far for 8 years. I gave and got feedback. Long story short the feedback was that the product is helping with facial muscle issues like headaches and clinching in the jaw. More importantly was the feedback that the tool was acting as a distractor, calming tool. With that data I got the product to Drs at Walter Reed, Mass General Host and a combat vet former WWP Calif rep who is now a USC grad student. Grad student is making the product his thesis focus this semester. He and the dr's are looking at the product as a drug free calming tool. I met with PhDs from four different Universities and drs they all say the product is acting on the acupressure points on the side of the head, the aromatherapy is causing a distraction and the muscle massage stimulation may be eliciting the "relaxation response" That means if you want to relax / know you need to relax and participate-mindfulness the stimulation from the tool can help to cause the brain to create more dopamine and endorphins. Dr from Stanford told me that first. That the long and short of it. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for asking.
