Why is Nettle™ wet?

Nettle™ works by delivering personalised menstrual neuromodulation therapy (MNT). At its core, Nettle™ uses the transcranial direct stimulation (tDCS) method that is scientifically backed by more than three decades of successful clinical research. Nettle™ applies tiny electrical pulses to target specific areas of the brain associated with pain perception and mood control.

To facilitate the transmission of these electrical pulses to your scalp, Nettle™ uses sponges hydrated with a saline solution, acting as a conduit between Nettle™ and your brain, enhancing conductivity and ensuring that the tiny electrical pulses are delivered precisely where they're needed. Saline, a mixture of water and salt, enhances the conductivity by providing ions that facilitate the movement of electrons. As a result, when Nettle™ electrodes make contact with the saline-soaked sponges, they effectively transmit the electrical pulses to your scalp.

This process is essential for ensuring the efficacy of Nettle™ MNT. Insufficient hydration compromises conductivity, impairing pulse delivery. So, follow the instructions and ensure that the sponges are adequately hydrated. However, there's a fine balance to maintain. Don’t overly saturate the sponges, preventing saline from spreading beyond the electrodes’ intended areas of stimulation for menstrual symptom relief (right below the electrodes). By maintaining this balance, Nettle™ can deliver its therapeutic benefits effectively and reliably, providing you with the pain relief and mood regulation you need.

In essence, the wetness of Nettle™ is not just a minor detail – it's a critical aspect of its functionality. Understanding the importance of proper hydration and electrode saturation ensures Nettle™ consistently and reliably delivers its therapeutic effects, helping in managing your menstrual symptoms and making you feel in control of your cycle.
