Frequently asked questions

We weigh each tool against what published research supports and what long-term users report. It is then rated 1 to 5 on ease of use, features, value for money, and support, and the overall score is the average of those four on a 10-point scale.

No. Nothing here is medical advice and we are not clinicians. Drug-free tools have a real place, but they do not replace professional care - if something is wrong, see someone qualified.

Ease of use asks whether it fits into an evening you would actually repeat. Features covers what the device does and what the research says it can do. Value compares the price to a cheaper habit that achieves the same thing. Support means warranty, claim honesty, and how returns are handled.
