Have you ever heard of anger management rings? In many parts of the world, in some rather ancient cultures, special rings sporting gemstones were used to manage anger. It was believed that the gemstones chosen, from pearls to moonstones, had some kind of a therapeutic ability to calm down a person, especially when one was angry, stressed or suffering from hypertension. It was criticized as pseudoscience and magical mumbo-jumbo for many years till science revealed that such rings had a small, harmless protrusion inside the rim that actually pinched the nerve in the finger that would react when angry, stressed or extremely tensed. This led to the calming effect that people experienced.
It is needless to say that such rings were and are still very popular. Although not directly related, the OURA ring attempts a similar feat in a different way to achieve a very desirable result.
