Nervous system reset
on April 9, 2025
Posted by: Loni G.
This product has completely reset my nervous system. My body was stuck inside or fly, and my breathing was shallow. I am sleeping so much better and I have an overall sense of feeling calm and balanced would definitely recommend.
I knew many people who had success with this device in many areas ranging from headaches, to sleep, to stress relief. I personally bought it to help out with sleep. What I found? It was a good stress reliever, and I felt a difference. using it a few times a day and noticed things didn't bother me as much. Well, it may have helped my sleep a little. The one thing I definitely noticed when it comes to waking up in the middle of the night. I would use it along w wim hoff breathing exercises and be able to go back to sleep. Whereas before it didn't have much luck falling back asleep once I was awake at two or three in the morning. The fact that the military is testing similar unit to use with its elite forces and drone pilots to help with their reaction time is a bonus.
I just got this so I'm still learning how to use it and what the results will be. But I do feel that it's helping me sleep better and so far I feel that my stress is less.
I was using it for a month and wasn't feeling any different and was ready to return it. Then I realized I actually wasn't using it in the right place - the instruction booklet illustration shows a different placement more centered on the neck than it should have been.
I saw a different diagram on some other site and used the Truvaga plus closer to the corner of my jawline where the yellow/orange nerve was shown on the booklet.
I was having terrible anxiety attacks at night that would wake me in a mild panic and the Truvaga slowly began to help calm the anxiety. I got the device as a Hail Mary to treat CPTSD, of which manifests somatically in the form of muscle tension, nausea, low to zero appetite, insomnia, body armoring and brain fog. Life has been immeasurably difficult and I was at wits end.
I also have tachycardia - a resting heart rate between 100-110 even when lying down. I used the Truvaga after about 30 minute of not seeing my BPM come down and immediately I saw it go down from 107 to 87 and stayed stable under 95. Waited another hour and treated again before bedtime and it dropped further from 90 to 73.
So far, after a month of consistent use, Truvaga plus has been taken the edge off my symptoms and I feel healthier and better able to manage daily stress. It's been a great augment to my therapy and pain management protocols.
This is my first vagus nerve stimulator, and I find it helps me tremendously to relax in the evening before sleep. I do each side of my neck for 2 minutes. I'm using distilled water with pharmaceutical grade sodium chloride instead of the conductive spray and it works well. I always run it at level 10. I wish the app was not needed, or at least had dark mode, since I use it in the evening when I don't want to see any bright light. I put a red sticker over the power light to block the green/blue color that it emits. The battery life is great. Overall it is a wonderful device!
