No matter what side of the fence you sit on in regards to Meghan Markle, there’s one thing we can all agree on: the woman is under immense stress. Although, from the outside looking in, she wears it very well.
Let’s face it, if we were under round-the-clock scrutiny on a global level, you’re laughing if you think we’d be serving impeccable hair looks day in and out.
But hey, we’re not married to the King of England’s son. Unfortunately…
As an investor in the plant-based supplement company, Clevr, Meghan’s passion for wellness has been well established. So, it wasn’t hugely shocking to learn that she seeks out alternative methods when it comes to keeping her stress under control.
What are the anti-stress patches Meghan Markle is wearing?
These are not to be mistaken for a Nicorette patch you might spot on someone trying to quit smoking. The circular blue stickers Meghan’s wearing on the inside of her wrist are actually NuCalm Biosignal Processing Discs ($80 at NuCalm).
Catch us explaining Meghan’s skin care routine? We could do it with our eyes closed. As for breaking down the complex process of electromagnetic frequencies, we’ll do our best. And for anything else, we’ll shoot you in the direction of a very helpful video tutorial…
As per the NuCalm website, each disc works to “simplify the process of activating the parasympathetic nervous system”. Got it? No, neither do we.
In layman’s terms, they work to reduce anxiety and reduce our stress response by sending signals around our body which tell us to slow down and keep calm.
We hope Meghan is feeling as calm as can be!

Have you ever heard of biohacking or anti-stress patches? How do you manage your stress and anxiety?
I haven’t seen or heard of these before but I would say my stress levels are high and I do suffer from anxiety so would definitely try it.
Worth trying and if they help they would be worth the cost.
I’d give these a go
Wow they sound interesting. I remember wearing ‘nausea braclets’ when I felt nauseous a few years ago and I wanted to try something natural. Doc told me about them! Said his wife used them through nausea when she had menopausal nausea.
I’ve seen some patches on someone. Was wondering what they are. She said, acupressure microneedle things. I do not need those and am skeptical of everything lol
First time I hear about this product, I wonder if they really work.
I’m not a fan of Meghan. Can’t say I have heard of the patches although I have seen them on some people and had no idea what they were about. I do suffer some anxiety in some situations so it would be interesting to know a bit more about them.
No I am not a fan either but giver her her due she gets what she wants.
What Meghan wants she gets.
Totally Jatz -not always a healthy way to live though.
Same, not a fan, even though do not know the person. Just the vibe…
Not a fan either, what a pity that someone who has such a lot can suffer from anxiety.
Anxiety can affect anyone, but definitely not surprised that it affects many that are frequently in the public eye. The weight of everyone’s opinions on what’s going on in your life must be a lot. She is just human at the end of the day, exactly like the rest of us.
Not heard of them, sounds like bollocks. I take my dog for a walk, do some yoga, read a book, have a warm shower or massage my face.
J haven’t heard of them before but would be open to trying.
Yes it wouldn’t hurt
Haven’t heard about these before.
Haven’t heard of these, I think there would be a high placebo/psychosomatic effect.
I would try breathing exercises to relieve stress.
They are good too
Unless there is scientific evidence to back it up I won’t be trying it out
Smokers patches work on some so probably similar idea.
I would give them a go
Interesting.
I would love to hear how these work. I could do with these!
Yeah, me too!
I use pain relief patches and I find them very effective, so I would try these for anxiety or calming if I needed to.
I’m a bit cynical about things like this. But I guess it can help even if you just think it works.
Interesting, never heard of such a thing. Could be helpful
I’m always up for trying alternative methods
I wonder if they really work or are just a placebo, maybe just wearing them and seeing them on your wrist makes you chill.
If they work they work so even if it is mind over matter and you are better for it why not.
I don’t blame her for being overly stressed. She’s gorgeous. Wonder if these actually work.
I have read that she was using them. If they work they would be wonderful!
Medications & therapeutics are able to be absorbed by the skin, but what’s in these patches? Hmm, I’m dubious about these.
No I haven’t heard this before.I wonder how this works.
Expensive but I would be interested in trying
I might try this
Wonder if they really work well.
I would try some anti-stress patches. If they worked it would be worth it. Kind of reminds me of seasickness patches I tried once though (unfortunately they didn’t work) haha.
