I smoke more now that I have schizophrenia. Nicotine is a hard drug to quit, and if you have schizophrenia then it could be harder.

It’s claims are

Our state of mind depends on human emotions, such as anger, happiness, fear, love and sadness. Our brains and bodies run at different frequency speeds, depending on what we are doing:

√ While we sleep, the frequency is low, as it is when we are relaxed.
√ When concentrating, or when prepping for study or creative thinking, the frequency is higher

Problems arise when your brain frequency is not aligned with what you’re trying to do or to achieve. ELF emmit offers a digital alternative.

Now you can rewire your mind to connect your body to your preferred mental state. ELF emmit is a digital metronome that you control. The device suggests how your mind and body should act at optimum levels, as well as the rhythm at which they operate in tandem.

ELF emmit helps you to:

√ Calm down and drift into a deep sleep.
√ Learn and concentrate, even when feeling stressed.
√ Improve the quality of your sleep.
√ Stay awake when feeling tired.
√ Relax after a hard day.
