We have to be able to recognize that we’re in a state of heat, and the only way to truly enjoy being in that state is to breath.
In the case of heat we can use our nose to detect heat, but in the case of cold where we are unable to smell, we have to use our mouth. It looks like that’s exactly what Therabreath does. The device uses a chemical to react with your blood and create a cooling sensation. The cool sensation is then felt by your body. We’ll see a demo video soon.
Therabreath is a new product that is designed to increase your comfort in the cold. The device, which is being developed by a team of scientists at the University of Michigan, is able to detect heat and also create a cooling sensation, which is then felt by your mouth. If the device is placed on your tongue, it will cause a similar sensation in your mouth. And now the device has been tested in a lab setting.
I’ve been using Therabreath on and off for a few months now and I must say it works great. I’ve been using it at home, and the cold really does make my mouth tingle. I have no idea what the scientists are doing here, but I’m hoping their research will lead to a breakthrough in how we can use technology to make us feel better.
According to this article on Tech Crunch, the lab that did the tests had a “worrying number of negative side effects, such as burning your tongue” and a “confusing number of side effects, such as a sense of discomfort and a decrease in saliva flow.” I must say I was a bit taken aback by this. I had no idea that the device could cause such a reaction, and I could still feel discomfort from the cold.
I think what they are saying is that what they tested is a cold shower, which is a lot like rubbing a cold shower on your tongue. If you’re hot, you need a cold shower to feel cool, so maybe this is part of the explanation, and if so, that’s good news. Otherwise, it’s just another example of a “wonderful” new technology that is going to make our lives a lot more difficult.
I am a huge fan of the device. I’ve been using it for over a week now and it is great. The only problem I have is that the cold bath is pretty uncomfortable, it just feels like a friggin’ blanket.
I know that the cold shower sounds harsh, but remember that the reason why you’re putting your face in water is to get rid of the excess heat. This is an excellent example of why technology should be used to improve our lives, not to make them more difficult. You should be able to use anything to get that hot shower you need.
That’s right. The therabreath I use works like this. I take a bottle of my own personal favorite, cold beer and I fill it with a dose of a liquid called a “cold bath.” Then I pour the liquid into a large bathtub. As soon as I get out of the tub I turn on the cold water and place my face in the water. I’ve only had one other “therabreather” and the results were pretty terrible.
It’s not a cure-all by any means, but it’s a good one to have in your arsenal. It does mean that you can take a bath and put your face in the cold water, but it’s still only a partial solution. At least it gets you close.
