The vagus nerve, shown here in a diagram of the neck, is a crucial component of the parasympathetic nervous system, primarily responsible for the body's relaxation response and control of involuntary actions like breathing, heart rate and digestion.

Jolting the vagus nerve (pictured here in a graphic) can help regulate brain activity, reduce inflammation and calm the nervous system.

Truvaga Plus (pictured here) allows for unlimited two-minute stimulation sessions. It retails for $499.

Pulsetto (pictured here) is priced at $269. A premium subscription package, which includes personalized programs, is sold separately.

The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve in the body. This diagram shows how the nerve connects to the rest of the body.
