FAQs

What is the Aetharon Necklace?

The Aetharon Necklace is designed to guide you toward longer, controlled exhales—helping you calm your nervous system naturally by stimulating your vagus nerve. This proven breathing technique slows your breath to help reduce stress and anxiety, without the need for apps, batteries, or chemicals. Think of it as your personal anchor, always there to bring you back to a state of calm and balance.

Isn’t this just a metal straw?

We get where you’re coming from, but the Aetharon Necklace is much more than a straw. Inspired by proven breathwork techniques, our necklace is specifically engineered to promote optimal breathing and long, calming exhales. Crafted from high-grade, medical stainless steel and available in beautifully durable finishes, it’s designed to be worn every day. While a simple straw might work for a quick breath, the Aetharon Necklace offers a more practical and stylish solution—one you can keep close as a daily commitment to better breathing and well-being.

How do I clean the Aetharon Necklace?

The Aetharon Necklace is built to last with medical-grade stainless steel, which makes it highly durable for daily wear. Its beautiful finishes are baked into the metal itself, so you don't have to worry about rusting or tarnishing, even if exposed to water. Simply rinse it with water or use a mild soap if needed for an occasional deep clean.

Why can’t I just practice slow breathing on my own?

It’s true—slow breathing can be done on your own. But in the hustle of daily life, it's easy to forget. The Aetharon Necklace keeps your commitment to better breathing front and center. It’s a gentle reminder to slow down and take those longer exhales when you need them most. Whether you're dealing with everyday stress, stuck in traffic, or simply struggling to unwind, having the Aetharon Necklace right there helps you create a consistent breathing practice.

Is this based on real science?

Absolutely! While the technique behind the Aetharon Necklace may seem simple, it's rooted in proven science. Slowing your exhales stimulates the vagus nerve, which signals your body to lower cortisol (the stress hormone), reduce blood pressure, and decrease heart rate. In a world filled with stress triggers, the Aetharon Necklace offers an easy way to regain calm and balance within minutes by using a physiological approach to better breathing.

How is the Aetharon Necklace manufactured?

We pride ourselves on the quality and craftsmanship behind the Aetharon Necklace. Each necklace is made from high-grade, medical stainless steel to ensure safety and durability for daily use. The finishes—whether gold, silver, or matte—are baked into the metal using proprietary methods to ensure long-lasting color and shine. We’ve spared no effort in bringing you the highest-quality product that can be worn and used every day as a tool for calm and stress relief.

Can this necklace help me quit smoking?

Although we originally designed the Aetharon Necklace to help with stress relief, many customers have found it useful in breaking their smoking habits. By replacing the physical act of holding and inhaling with our necklace, users report that they’ve been able to recreate the calming effects of smoking without the harmful consequences. It serves as a great tool to help shift your focus from smoking to practicing healthier breathing habits, providing the pause and deep breaths that smokers often seek during their breaks.
