Safety Guidelines

Safety guidelines

While breathing exercises can promote relaxation and mental health, they may induce temporary dizziness, light-headedness, or tingling sensations, especially for beginners or those with certain medical conditions. You should practice these exercises in a safe, comfortable environment, preferably seated or lying down to avoid falling or injury in case of dizziness.

Glimp provides guidance for safe breathing practices, but participation in any of these sessions is voluntary and done at your own risk. It is essential to listen to your body and discontinue the exercises if you experience any discomfort. In the case of persistent symptoms or concerns, consult a healthcare provider immediately.

Adherence to the following safety instructions is imperative for the safe and proper use of the Pebbles. Incorrect usage may lead to damage, injury, or more severe consequences.

The Pebbles are not medical devices

The Pebbles are not designed or intended for diagnosing, treating, or managing any diseases or health conditions, nor for disease prevention. Always seek the advice of your healthcare provider for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of stress-related health complaints and other health-related concerns.
The Pebbles emit electromagnetic fields that might interfere with medical devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators. Maintain a safe distance between the Pebbles and any medical apparatus and consult with a healthcare provider if you suspect interference.
Should you have an existing health condition or notice symptoms that you suspect may be impacted by the use of the Pebbles, it is advised to discuss with your doctor before beginning to use the device.
