Earlier this year a health bulletin was posted by United Concordia Health Insurance about the potential benefits of ASMR for easing dental anxiety. This was the first public support I had seen for the potential health benefits of ASMR by a health insurance provider.
And now another health insurance provider is publicly promoting the potential benefits of ASMR to relieve stress and inducing sleep.
AXA PPP Healthcare is one of the largest health insurance providers in the UK and last month they posted an article titled, “ASMR – Autonomous sensory meridian response.”
The posting includes text, a video, an audio file (both created by Emma Smith, the ASMR artist known as WhispersRed), and also an infographic about the potential biology of ASMR.
ASMR is a relaxing sensation experienced in the real world and often through one-on-one interactions.
Emma Smith is a resident of London, England, but perhaps she is better known as the ASMR artist, WhispersRed.
