KNISMESIS 101
What It Is & Why It Feels So Good
Knismesis (pronounced niz-muh-sis) is the scientific name for light, gentle touch—like a feather brushing your skin or someone tracing lazy lines on your back.
It’s the kind of touch that’s too soft to make you laugh, but just enough to make you tingle, relax, and feel calm.
⸻
Not a Massage. Not a Tickle Fight.
There are two types of tickling in science:
1. Knismesis – gentle, soothing, emotional
2. Gargalesis – deep pressure, makes you laugh or squirm
Zalm is built for knismesis.
Because we’re not here to make you giggle.
We’re here to help you unwind.
⸻
The Science Behind the Feels:
Knismesis activates C-tactile nerve fibers, which are tuned for affectionate, social touch.
These fibers send signals not just to your skin… but to your emotional brain—the part that feels comfort, safety, and connection.
⸻
In Simple Terms:
Knismesis is what your brain hears when someone says,
“I’ve got you.”
It slows your heart, softens your thoughts, and makes you feel held, even when you’re alone.

ABOUT: Zalm ORIGIN
Zalm was born not out of business, but out of healing. After a long journey through recovery, I reconnected with something simple—but powerful: the comforting sensation of that Knismesis touch. A feeling I remembered from childhood. From my mom. From my wife. A pure moment of peace in a world that never slows down.
That gentle touch has a name: KNISMESIS
It’s not a massage. Not pressure.
It’s a soft, almost electric tickle that relaxes your nervous system, quiets the mind, and reminds you—you’re safe.
Zalm is the world’s first wireless device designed to recreate that feeling on demand.
Six speed settings. Multiple attachments. One mission:
To bring people back to their happy place, no matter what life throws at them.
Whether you’re chasing dreams, battling burnout, or just need to breathe—Zalm is here to help you find your calm.
Because for me, this isn’t just a product.
It’s my purpose.
It’s clarity.
