Stimulating the Vagus nerve has been shown to produce healthy outcomes in many individuals. There are different techniques and methods available to stimulate the Vagus nerve, but it is important to note that there is NOT one definitive way to do it. Each approach may have varying degrees of effectiveness that depend on the unique needs of the individual. A great resource that highlights this point is Dr. Navaz Habib's book, "Activate Your Vagus Nerve."
There are a multitude of published studies that have proven that these techniques are effective in stimulating the Vagus nerve and generating positive outcomes for individuals seeking better health. However, the most crucial thing is NOT how you choose to stimulate the Vagus nerve, but that you CHOOSE to do it. Again, Dr. Habib’s book highlights this point.
One method that is well documented is to stimulate the auricular branch of the Vagus nerve at either or both ears. This is an easy and accessible location for most people to find. A device that uses this technique is the VeRelief Prime. The VeRelief Prime easily fits into a pocket or purse and uses a dry electrode design that ensures optimal comfort and convenience. No gel is necessary, and there is NO mess or cleanup required after use. The electrodes stay stored in the device for quick and easy application.
