High Strength relaxation
No side effects
Stimulating the vagus nerve calms the body quickly.
THE VAGUS NERVE
The vagus nerve is the major part of the parasympathetic nervous system. It's one of several cranial nerves that create a vital connection between the brain and the body (Guyenet, 2018). Its main job is to help the nervous system recover from the sympathetic ("fight or flight") response and allows us to enter a more relaxed "rest and digest" state (Porges, 2009). The vagus nerve is our built-in stress relief system.
When it comes to controlling bodily functions like heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, and other automatic processes, the vagus nerve plays a key role (Berthoud & Neuhuber, 2000). Activating the vagus nerve actually slows these functions down, helping our bodies unwind and relax.
VeRelief targets a small branch of the vagus nerve known as the Auricular Branch of the Vagus Nerve. This can be accessed just under the ear on the side of the neck (Peuker & Filler, 2002). This nerve communicates with the emotional regulation centers of the brain and is responsible for reducing the stress response in the brain.
A SIMPLE VAGUS NERVE STIMULATOR
VeRelief is one of the strongest forms of natural stress relief. It uses up to 8x more power than traditional auricular vagus nerve stimulators, delivering a deeper relaxation in a shorter amount of time that lasts longer.
It delivers a soothing “vibration” sensation that results in a power calming effect felt throughout the mind and body. It is the ultimate solution for those looking for alternatives to prescription medication or illicit or harmful substances.
a game-changer when it comes to managing stress and anxiety
VeRelief is a game-changer when it comes to managing stress and anxiety. By applying electrical energy to the Auricular Branch of the Vagus Nerve (ABVN) on the side of your neck, it turns off the stress response in your brain and results in an almost immediate lasting calming effect (Bauer et al., 2010).
The ABVN connects to areas in the brainstem, like the Locus Coeruleus and Reticular Activating System (Aston-Jones & Cohen, 2005). These regions are involved in producing Serotonin and Norepinephrine, as well as regulating our sleep/wake cycles (Monti & Monti, 2007). That's why stimulating the ABVN can be so effective in helping you fall asleep faster, ease racing thoughts, reduce stress and anxiety, and even improve your mood (Kraus et al., 2007).
VeRelief was specifically designed for the modern high stress professional with demanding responsibilities. It is small, portable, and can be used discreetly in any environment. By stimulating the vagus nerve, you are fast-tracking your path to calm that would traditionally take up to 30 minutes to achieve through deep breathing exercises.
VeRelief was developed by biomedical engineers after 3 years of research and development. Learn more about the research behind VeRelief here.
