The Nerve Network
The vagus nerve is one of your most important cranial nerves, acting as a major communication pathway between your brain and your body.
Follow the nerve from ear to gut →Your Body's Braking System
As part of the parasympathetic nervous system, the vagus nerve helps your body shift from stress mode into rest and recovery.
How stimulation supports this →Vagal Tone
This refers to the health and activity level of your vagus nerve. Research suggests that better vagal tone is associated with better overall wellbeing.
How good is yours? Take the free test →It Changes Over Time
Vagal tone tends to decline with age and stress. This may contribute to changes in mood, sleep, digestion, and immune function.
See how your age affects your tone →Natural and Modern Approaches
Meditation, exercise, and breathing practices can all support vagal tone. Newer approaches like non-invasive electrical stimulation are adding to the toolkit.
Start getting better, naturally →A Growing Body of Research
Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation via gentle electrical pulses is the subject of a growing number of studies exploring its potential benefits.

Understand the differenceHow Vagal Fits Into Your Day
From your first breath in the morning to your deepest sleep at night, vagus nerve stimulation supports every phase of your day.
Start your day grounded, not reactive
Morning cortisol is natural, but for many people it tips into anxiety before the day has even begun. A short vagus nerve stimulation session before you leave bed helps your nervous system settle into a calm, alert state rather than a stress response.
to feel noticeably calmer
"I clip it on while I have my morning coffee. By the time I leave for work, I feel like a different person."
Stay sharp without the jitters
When your vagus nerve is active, your brain gets better blood flow and your heart rate variability improves. That means clearer thinking, longer attention spans, and fewer moments of losing your train of thought mid-task.
deep work block
"I used to lose focus after an hour. Now I get deep work blocks of three hours without even noticing."
Recover from the morning, digest your lunch
The vagus nerve directly controls digestion. Stimulating it during your lunch break helps your body shift from "fight or flight" into "rest and digest" -- so your food is processed properly and the afternoon slump hits less hard.
during or after lunch
"The post-lunch crash used to wipe me out. Since using Vagal at lunchtime, I actually have energy for the afternoon."
Switch off properly for the first time in years
Most people carry their work stress into the evening without realising it. Their heart rate stays elevated, their jaw is clenched, their mind races. Vagal stimulation in the evening trains your body to actually downshift -- not just collapse on the sofa.
from alert to genuinely calm
"My partner noticed before I did. She said I seemed calmer in the evenings. Less snappy. More present."
Fall asleep faster. Stay asleep longer.
Poor vagal tone is one of the most overlooked causes of insomnia. When your vagus nerve is underactive, your body cannot fully enter the parasympathetic state needed for deep, restorative sleep. Stimulation before bed primes your nervous system for the rest it needs.
20 minutes before bed
"I went from lying awake for an hour to being out in 15 minutes. My sleep score on my watch has gone through the roof."

How do we compare?
We use current-controlled tVNS. Most competitors use voltage-controlled tENS. That's not marketing — it's engineering. See the difference for yourself.
A Better Way to Control Your Sessions
The Vagal Tones app connects to your stimulator and lets you customise your protocols, update your device with new settings, and track your sessions over time. It works with most devices and puts you in control of your vagus nerve stimulation.
