How to do tVNS

Transcutaneous Vagal Nerve Stimulation has been shown to improve parasympathetic tone in the body, which improves sleep, reduces stress, lowers levels of inflammation, and relaxes the body and mind for overall health and wellbeing.

I just got this same unit. Thanks for the info, this was helpful!

Can you show the placement of the ear piece? Hard to see on video, Thanks!

Thank you so much. This was SUPER HELPFUL. And such a great hack compared to expensive and prescription only tVNS devices.

Crazy question. Can you take a close up video of where you put it first(ie not the tragus)? Thanks

Hello greetings from Turkey, my wife has epilepsy and uses 4 different medications, but there is still no full recovery. Will this vagus nerve stimulation device work on my wife?

Is this similar to CES treatment? The CES devices like Fisher Wallace require an earclip on each ear while tVNS uses one. I’m unsure which would be most appropriate for my issue with anxiety…
Any insights appreciated 🌷

Great and interesting video! :) I've seen where some people modify the clip (with gluing two clips together, or another way is by using electrodes from inside a small medical pad on the flat side of the clip) so that they have two electrodes on their ear, rather than one on the ear and then a pad on the shoulder like in your video. Can you discuss if the pad on the shoulder would essentially accomplish the same thing as having a two sided electrode clip on the ear?

I am going to try using both channels for tVNS. The anode earclips will go on my tragus and concha and the cathodes will go on my shoulder. I have severe insomnia which I think is related to low HRV. I'm hoping this helps.

I see that you are wearing jewellry. I removed all metal from my left ear but I have a metal piercing ring in my right ear that I can‘t get out. Is it safe to have earrings or piercings when using tVNS ? I read somewehere to remove it. Also, your video has helped me out the most out of all videos I have watched on how to do this. Thank you!

I find tVNS relaxing, but afterwards I get a headache for some reason. Do others find this?
