In this modern era, stress and headache has become the part and parcel of a working professional or student’s life. Many suffer from these conditions due to living a high pace and demanding lifestyle thus effecting the quality of their mental and physical health. In fact, most of the people opt for over-the-counter medications to ease their headaches and stress without being concerned about its side effects over the long term. Therefore, the Ayur Flex Aroma Head Massager was designed and developed as it is a massager that integrates traditional herbs and IoT system. Users of this product can get massaged around their neck region while being able to inhale the natural essence of traditional herbs such as Country Borage, Edible Camphor, Sweet Basil, Chaste Tree and Indian Fragrant Rose. A lot of studies have been conducted to show the effectiveness of these herbs in stimulating positive hormones in a person’s body. Besides that, the head massager is powered and run by Arduino Nano which in return controls the DC motors that turns the knob to give a massage. The device is set to turn at a speed where the massaging sensation enhances blood flow into the brain. The Ayur Flex Aroma Head Massager was tested by many individuals who reported a boost in their mood and reduction in headaches. The product was promoted on various social media and it garnered a lot of positive feedbacks from its users.
