    This is very interesting. And now I’m searching Amazon for any kind of vagus nerve e-stim unit that has even a hint of legitimacy.

      Apple Watch “Breathe” app or any of the free slow-breathing/mindfulness meditation apps will do the job, too.

      Or… breathe in for a count of 4, pause for a count of 4, breathe out for a count of 4, pause for a count of 4. Do that for 5 or 10 minutes.

      There are lots of vagus nerve videos on youtube that will explain how to stimulate, stretch, exercise and possibly reset your vagus nerve. YMMV.

      Just breath slowly, in thru the nose …… out thru the mouth. Do that and you will feel the vagus nerve interaction they talk about. It’s a great tool to help stabilize you in a moment of distress or discomfort. It doesn’t last long but you can keep doing the exercises!

      Maybe you should try to learn more about the nerve and its interactions before you buy some wild bullshit off Amazon lol
