What is VeRelief?
VeRelief is the world’s first hand held reset button for panic, spiraling stress, and daily nervous system recovery. When deep breathing, meditation, or calming tricks aren’t fast enough—or simply don’t work—VeRelief gives you a way to interrupt the spiral immediately. No pills. No waiting. Just pure, fast control over your nervous system.
Whether you're stuck in a panic attack, fighting spiraling anxiety, or mentally burnt out, VeRelief is built to help you reset fast and regain command of your mind and body—anywhere, anytime.
What does VeRelief feel like?
Most people describe VeRelief as a gentle buzzing or tingling around the ear—noticeable enough that you feel it working, but comfortable enough to use daily. It’s a strange, almost electric kind of calm.
Strong enough to break the cycle when panic ramps up. Gentle enough to use anytime you need a reset. The truth? It doesn’t feel like anything you’ve tried before—because nothing else works quite like it.
Who Should Not Use VeRelief?
VeRelief Prime is designed as a general wellness tool to help individuals manage episodes of panic, spiraling stress, and the acute physiological symptoms of the 'fight or flight' response. While research involving individuals with diagnosed conditions like PTSD and Panic Disorder has explored the potential benefits of auricular vagus nerve stimulation, VeRelief is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Individuals with pre-existing medical or mental health conditions should consult their healthcare professional before using VeRelief to ensure it is appropriate for their specific situation.
You should talk to your healthcare provider first before using VeRelief if you:
Are pregnant
Are under 18 or over 65
Have a diagnosed neurological or nervous system condition (e.g., Dysautonomia, Long COVID, Tinnitus, POTS)
Have an implanted pacemaker, defibrillator, or any metal in your head or neck
Have extremely sensitive skin or react badly to external stimuli
Chronic fatigue
Brain fog
Vertigo
Tinnitus
Any condition that causes nervous system hypersensitivity
VeRelief was carefully engineered for resilience, not fragile systems. If you're managing a complex health condition, it’s smart to get cleared by your doctor before adding nerve stimulation.
How quickly does VeRelief work?
VeRelief was built for one thing: speed.
In most cases, users feel an initial calming shift within 30 seconds to 3 minutes.
It’s fast enough to interrupt a runaway spiral—or stop panic before it takes over.
If you’re used to methods that maybe help after 30 minutes of breathing exercises or waiting for a pill to kick in, VeRelief is a whole different experience.
How long do the effects last?
After a session, most users experience several hours of improved calm, focus, and resilience.
The exact duration can vary based on your body and your situation, but once your nervous system is reset, it tends to stay more regulated for a long stretch—especially if you use VeRelief proactively.
How often should I use VeRelief?
In the moment: Use it the second you feel panic, spiraling anxiety, or overwhelm creeping in.
Even a short 2–5 minute session per side can be enough to reset and regain control.As a daily tool:
For long-term resilience, a lot of users build VeRelief into their routine—one quick session in the morning, one before bed—for a few weeks. It helps strengthen your recovery system so you're less likely to spiral when stress hits.
Bottom line:
Use it when you need it. Keep it close. No rigid rules.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are rare—but possible.
If you're generally healthy, VeRelief tends to feel natural and even energizing. However, if your nervous system is very sensitive, you might experience temporary sensations like:
Mild skin redness or irritation
Dizziness
Fatigue
These usually pass quickly.
If anything feels off or doesn't settle after a session, it's smart to pause and check in with a healthcare provider.
Has VeRelief been clinically tested?
Yes—extensively.
VeRelief’s technology has been tested across hundreds of participants in IRB-approved, placebo-controlled studies. Results consistently show it’s safe and highly effective at rapidly reducing acute stress and panic symptoms.
We don’t just claim it works—we measured it.

How does VeRelief compare to other vagus nerve devices?
Most vagus nerve devices were built for slow, passive relaxation.
VeRelief is different.
No apps to download.
No messy gels or complicated setups.
No sitting for 30 minutes hoping for change.
VeRelief is the only stimulator designed to stop panic and spiraling stress in under 3 minutes—fast enough to matter in real-world moments, not just meditation sessions. If you need a tool that works when breathing fails and your brain feels hijacked, VeRelief was built for you.
