VeRelief 101

  • Go from spiraling in stress to calm under control in as little as 30 seconds
  • Retrain your nervous system to be more calm more often.
  • Designed for the on-the-go use to reclaim your independence.

Why We Made VeRelief

I lost $40,000 in golf scholarships because panic hit me out of nowhere for a year straight. I spent 8 years studying biomedical engineering and created VeRelief because I know that desperate moment when nothing calms you down. If you're ready to reclaim control over your biology, your performance, and your future, I invite you to try VeRelief.

Take control, reset, and feel the relief

Dr. Nicholas Hool

Biomedical Engineer, Creator of VeRelief, CEO Hoolest

Feel it work, fast.

You shouldn't have to wonder if it's doing something. Real, adjustable pulses you can feel, calm in seconds, small enough to carry anywhere.

  1. A hand removing the cap from a VeRelief Prime to expose the gel tips

    Set

    Remove the cap to reveal the gel tips. (These apply soothing electric pulses)

  2. A person pressing the gel tips to the skin just below the earlobe

    Apply

    Gently press the gel tips to the skin below your earlobe. (This area targets the Vagus nerve.)

  3. A person holding the device against the neck with their eyes closed

    Relieve

    Hold for at least 30 seconds and feel your nervous system fall back into calm.

Gel Paste vs. Gel Tips

Clinical Contact. Zero Mess. Ready in Seconds.

Gel tips deliver the same clinical-grade contact as conductive gel, without a single step of the mess.

No gel. No prep. Just contact.

Conductive gel paste

Cold, goopy, and tacky. A sticky film to wipe off after every use.

Real Stories. Real Results

Browse stories by benefit and hear how vagus nerve care is transforming daily lives.

  • "I'm a combat veteran with PTSD and I've bought a lot of devices to help me with anxiety and panic attacks. They all have been somewhat helpful BUT my VeRelief Pro is BY FAR the BEST at relieving my symptoms the fastest. Its easy to put on the headphones, turn on the stimulator, and increase the power to a tolerable level, and sit back and relax as the anxiety melts away. I very strongly recommend the VeRelief Pro to anyone needing help with anxiety, panic attacks, or PTSD."

  • "I’d been suffering from severe PTSD, hyper vigilance, nightmares, emotional deregulation, withdrawn with suicidal thoughts... After 3 weeks of regular use morning and night... I’m smiling and talking again, my brain fog has lifted and I’m getting my life back."

  • "I've been using the mini daily since I got it, I take it with me everywhere. It was recommended to my family member by her doctor. I had been struggling with anxiety , sleeping issues and PTSD and had tried yoga, CBD, breathing exercises etc so I thought I'd give this a try. It has significantly lowered my anxiety during the day, my heart is not racing like it normally does. I sleep better, I have a sense of calm during the day that I haven't felt for years and I'm so thankful this product is available."

  • "I purchased this device in total desperation, having suffered from the effects of a souped-up sympathetic nervous system for years... the pounding was GONE... That’s generally the effect from a good 15 minutes of box breathing. All done in less than 5, and no effort by me."

  • "So handy! The VeRelief is the easiest de-stressor and mind calming experience. Normally I have to go running or escape into nature to lower my stress and anxiety , which a lot of times that is not possible but using this allows me to take a step away from my desk and laptop, close my eyes and calm myself!"

  • "The VeRelief mini is one of my best purchases of 2023. I can use it multiple times a day, anywhere, and it helps so much with reducing my stress or anxiety. As an extra plus, it has helped increase my heart rate variability, and I have noticed it has also helped reduce my stress-induced eczema!"

  • This thing is LIFE CHANGING. for years I’ve found myself struggling with spiraling anxiety... when I used it when I started spiraling, it just… stopped. I felt okay, I felt like I could be present, I could get my work done without 30+ minutes of recuperation.

  • "So far, it is AMAZING! I got it after I found that my seizures were resulting from anxiety and stress. It has helped tremendously with all of them. Today, I had a headache and thought I would try it out. Make headache disappear immediately. Best money I have ever spent. Customer service was also amazing when I called due to damaged box."

  • "My friends and I have tried other Vagas stimulation devices. However they where left wanting. I'm extremely interested in your Pro coming out soon. I've even in my private practice incorporated the device. Some of the results and sessions that followed are nothing short of a miracle."

  • "The Hoolest Mini is amazing… I found using it for 3 minutes per side before bed allows me to simply go to sleep, without the thought drumbeat running through my head. Using it before a stressing situation works brilliantly also, dropping away the immediate anxiety I've often experienced without this device."

  • "I absolutely LOVE my VeRelief Prime. It has truly helped me find a deeper state of calm while boosting my focus simultaneously. Using it sometimes before bed has helped my overall sleep quality as well. I would highly recommend this product to anyone struggling with sleep issues, stress, focus, and headaches/nausea etc. It has changed my life for the better. Thank you, Nick. Keep crushing it!"

The Vagus Nerve

Your Built-In Panic Reset

The vagus nerve — your body’s ultimate power line — connects your brain to nearly every major organ, earning its name from the Latin word for “wandering” as it weaves through your entire system.

Your body's vagus nerve is the vital switch that calms your system, releasing serotonin and acetylcholine to soothe panic and restore natural balance — the way your body was designed to heal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can VeRelief help me?

VeRelief was built for people who can’t wait around to feel better. Whether you're stuck in a stress spiral, on the verge of panic, or just mentally drained from the day—VeRelief gives you instant control without pills, alcohol, or hours of deep breathing.


If traditional techniques like meditation or breathwork haven’t worked for you—or you simply don’t have time—VeRelief offers a stronger, faster way to reset your nervous system in seconds.

There’s no app to connect, no wires to untangle, and no messy gels to apply. Just grab it, press a button, and feel the shift.


It was designed to integrate seamlessly into your busy lifestyle. There are no wires, no app connections, and no messy gel or long setup times, so you can get a quick hit of calm at any time.

What does VeRelief feel like? Does it hurt?

Most people describe the sensation as a gentle buzzing, tingling, or vibration in the ear—like a focused energy pulsing through your nervous system.


In clinical studies with over 1,000 participants, these were the top sensations reported. It’s strong enough to feel something working, but pleasant enough to use daily.


The truth? It doesn’t feel like anything you’ve ever tried—because nothing else works quite like it.

Who Should Not Use VeRelief?

VeRelief is designed for mentally and physically healthy individuals dealing with high levels of daily stress, overwhelm, or occasional panic.


It is not intended for people living with chronic nervous system conditions, including but not limited to:

  • Long COVID

  • Chronic fatigue

  • Brain fog

  • Vertigo

  • Dysautonomia or POTS

  • Tinnitus

  • Any condition that causes nervous system hypersensitivity


If you’re managing stress related to a chronic illness, we strongly recommend speaking with your healthcare provider before using VeRelief. While it can be a powerful tool for stress relief, it hasn’t been clinically tested on individuals with these conditions and may feel too intense for sensitive users.


VeRelief is not recommended for:

  • People with metal implants in the head or neck

  • People with extremely sensitive skin

  • Individuals extremely reactive to external stimuli

  • Anyone with a diagnosed chronic neurological condition

How often should I use it?

For fast relief:
Use VeRelief anytime you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or on the edge of a panic attack. Just 1-5 minutes per side (2-10 minutes total) can reset your nervous system and bring you back to center.


For daily resilience:
To build a stronger, more stress-resilient nervous system, we recommend using VeRelief twice a day—once in the morning and once before bed—for 2–3 weeks. Then you can taper to once daily or a few times a week to maintain results.


Short on time?
Use the built-in slow-breathing pacer mode for quick, on-the-go calm. It’s designed to slow your exhale and enhance vagus nerve activation in just a few minutes.


You’ll find a full guide with suggested protocols in your VeRelief manual. For best results, turn up the intensity as high as you can comfortably tolerate.

What are the Gel Tips?

VeRelief uses patented gel tips—a major upgrade from the outdated gel paste used in other devices.
Our gel tips are made from soft, cosmetic-grade, non-toxic material that’s gentle on sensitive skin and ready the moment you need relief.


Unlike other vagus nerve stimulators that require messy gel application, long setup times, and frustrating cleanup, VeRelief’s gel tips are always attached, always clean, and instantly ready to go.
Just press a button—and get immediate stimulation with no prep.


This is what makes VeRelief the only truly panic-ready vagus nerve device.


No delays. No mess. No barriers.


How Long Does One Pair Last?

Each pair of Hoolest Activator gel tips lasts up to 1 week or 20 uses, whichever comes first.
After that, performance drops and you’ll want to replace them with a fresh pair for best results.


Can Multiple People Use the Same Gel Tips?

Yes—our gel tips can be safely shared between users if needed.

how does VeRelief compared to other vagus nerve devices?

Most vagus nerve stimulators on the market were designed for relaxation, not rapid relief. They often require:

  • Bluetooth connections

  • App setup

  • Messy gel pastes

  • Wires

  • And long wait times to feel anything


VeRelief was built differently—for people who don’t have time to wait.

It’s the only vagus nerve stimulator designed to stop panic and spiraling stress in seconds.


If you need a device you can trust in the moment—when breathing fails and your nervous system is in overdrive—VeRelief is the only option that delivers fast, powerful results without friction.
