The Vagus Nerve
The Vagus Nerve is the physical connection between your mind and body.
It is responsible for helping your brain and body respond to stressors so you don’t remain in a prolonged elevated anxious state.
It primarily controls functions such as heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, and other physiological functions that are effected by anxiety episodes.
Auricular nerve branches throughout the ear communicate directly with a region in the brainstem that helps process information to generate an appropriate response to stressors.
Vagal Activation
Vagal Activation is the act of activating or stimulating your vagus nerve.
There are two primary benefits of vagal activation.
Vagal activation is the fastest way to calm an anxious or hyperactive state of mind so you can mentally recover and get back to the present moment quickly.
Daily vagal activation increases vagal tone and resilience, our body’s natural ability to keep the physical effects of anxiety under control and maintain an optimal state of mental and physical wellness.
Vagal Tone
Vagal Tone is a term that describes how active your vagus nerve is.
Low Vagal Tone = Inactive Vagus Nerve
High Vagal Tone = Active Vagus Nerve
The higher the vagal tone, the better the body’s ability to respond to stressors and maintain an optimal state of mental and physical wellness.
Vagal tone can be measured using consumer grade Heart Rate Variability sensors and can be increased using various vagal activation techniques.

Testimonials
“Easy to use…the feeling of a physiological decrease in arousal…the hyperexcitability we often build up from anticipating our daily stressors just melted away.”
Dr. Leslie Sherlin
Licensed Counselor and Sports Psychologist
“To stimulate the vagus nerve you probably need to gargle or hum for 15 minutes, and who has time for that? ...this thing is great because right away it stimulates the vagus nerve…I really like it and its very relaxing. I’ll sit on the couch and I’ll do it for 5 minutes on each side 3 times per day, and at night I’ll do it and I’m ready to roll into bed right afterwards. Its amazing.”

VeRelief is Safe
VeRelief and early prototype versions were tested on over 150 people in multiple IRB-approved and sham-controlled clinical studies.
Vagus nerve stimulation was applied to both the left and right auricular branch of the vagus nerve.
Safety and tolerability was assessed by asking patients to subjectively rate each of the following criteria on a scale of one to 10 for severity immediately after treatment and 24 hours after treatment:
Comfort
Relaxation
Blurred Vision
Dizziness
Discomfort or pain
Headache
Skin Itching or Irritation
No differences in subjective ratings in safety criteria between active and sham groups were found.
VeRelief was designed and built using a Quality Management System compliant to 21 CFR Part 820 required for all medical devices and medical-grade technologies. It was tested, verified, and validated for compliance with rigorous medical device safety standards including:
“Medical electrical equipment –Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance”
“Medical electrical equipment –Part 1-11 General requirements for basic safety and essential performance –Collateral standard: Requirements for medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems used in the home healthcare environment”
“Medical electrical equipment –Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance – Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic disturbances – Requirements and tests”
IEC 60601-2-10, “Medical electrical equipment
“Medical electrical equipment –Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of nerve and muscle stimulators”
Superior User Experience
VeRelief was purposely designed to improve the user experience compared to other vagal nerve stimulation devices.
Superior Veragel™ Electrodes
VeRelief uses a new, proprietary type of electrode called Veragels to comfortably deliver treatment without needing to be soaked in any gel or saline solution.
The Veragels were tested for biocompatibility with humans and are compliant to the medical standard:
ISO 10993-1, “Biological evaluation of medical devices –Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process”
Skin Sensitization Testing
A Calming Experience like you’ve Never Experienced

Three Unique Modes
Pure and continuous vagal activation. Use for up to 10 minutes to experience rapid relief or daily to experience the benefits of improved vagal tone.
Modulating output designed to guide your breathing to 6 breaths/minute. This is called “Coherent Breathing.” Combined with direct vagal activation, Coherent Breathing is the most effective way to quickly improve vagal tone with results that can last for hours.
The most powerful short-term calming experience that exists. A modulating stimulation waveform designed to help you bring your breath down to 3 breaths/minute. Complete for just 2 minutes for a calming experience that works faster, feels better, and lasts longer than any short-term method available.
