Each of the six NuCalm Journeys is designed to guide your brain to a specific brain wave frequency. This induces a physiological change that aids various aspects of your day, from falling asleep to achieving peak performance.

What Is NuCalm RESCUE?
The RESCUE Journey is the bedrock of NuCalm, and the key to tempering your stress response. RESCUE synergizes with your body's parasympathetic nervous system by guiding your brain to the soothing alpha and theta wave range. This restful state allows your brain to inhibit stress hormone production, enhances your sleep quality, suppresses inflammation, and can even bolster your immune system.
When to use RESCUE
The best time to use Rescue is during an afternoon energy lull. But you can use it anytime - just don't start a session within 3 hours of bedtime. If you want to use NuCalm to specifically help you fall asleep, you'll use DEEPSLEEP.

RESCUE works through employing a sophisticated, patented sound wave algorithm that outsmarts your brain's pattern recognition, keeping you in a deep rest without any diversions.
