INSTANT NERVOUS
SYSTEM RESET
Calm spiraling stress and panic faster than breathing,
apps, or meditation.
THE VAGUS NERVE
The vagus nerve is your body's direct connection to the parasympathetic "reset system." It's one of the major cranial nerves that bridges the brain and body (Guyenet, 2018). Its main job? To pull you out of a panic, stress spiral, or fight-or-flight mode—fast—and restore a calm, regulated state (Porges, 2009). It’s nature’s built-in emergency recovery switch.
When it comes to controlling life-or-death responses like heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure, the vagus nerve plays a critical role (Berthoud & Neuhuber, 2000). Activating it can immediately slow racing thoughts, heart palpitations, and the spiraling stress response.
VeRelief targets a small, powerful branch of the vagus nerve known as the Auricular Branch of the Vagus Nerve (ABVN). This branch can be accessed just under the ear on the side of the neck (Peuker & Filler, 2002). Stimulating the ABVN communicates directly with the emotional regulation centers of the brain—telling your nervous system it's safe to stand down, even mid-panic.
WHY TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES FALL SHORT
Yes, techniques like breath-work, meditation, humming, and cold plunges can activate the vagus nerve. But they demand time, focus, and conscious effort—the exact things you lose in a full-blown panic attack.
VeRelief does the work for you.
It activates your vagus nerve instantly, sending physical signals of safety through your nervous system—even when you can't breathe or think clearly.
THE FEELING OF A REAL RESET
VeRelief delivers a powerful, soothing vibration through your nerve pathways, creating an almost immediate calming effect across your mind and body. It's the closest thing to flipping an OFF switch on spiraling stress—and it works even when other tools fail.
Applying gentle electrical energy to the ABVN triggers a chain reaction:
It calms down the Locus Coeruleus and other brain regions responsible for hyper-alertness (Aston-Jones & Cohen, 2005).
It slows the flood of stress hormones like norepinephrine and cortisol.
It deactivates the amygdala, the fear center of the brain (Kraus et al., 2007), making you feel safe again.
This is why people looking to shut panic and spiraling stress down instantly turn to VeRelief to regain control.
BUILT FOR WHEN TIME MATTERS
VeRelief isn’t just a "nice to have" when you're mildly stressed.
It’s built for the moments when you're spiraling, gasping for air, or mentally crashing. Instead of needing 30 minutes of breathwork or meditation, VeRelief stops the spiral in as little as 60 seconds.
Silent.
Portable.
No setup required.
Pull it out anywhere—at work, at home, or on the go—and feel the shift immediately.
