Your vagus nerve is your built-in stress brake

The vagus nerve connects your brain to your heart, lungs, and abdomen. It’s what triggers a return to calm after a stressful situation. When it's underactive, you can feel it:

  • Difficulty calming down after a setback
  • A heart that races easily
  • Tight stomach, sensitive digestion
  • Light sleep, waking up during the night
  • Fatigue despite rest

The good news is that its function, vagal tone, can be trained.

Breathing stimulates the vagus nerve

Breathing stimulates the vagus nerve

You can't directly control your heartbeat or digestion. But you can control your breathing. With every slow exhalation, the vagus nerve slows down your heart.

By breathing at a rate of about 6 breaths per minute, you amplify this signal. This is called slow deep breathing or heart coherence, one of the most widely studied methods for activating the vagus nerve.

Quick fixes aren't enough

A woman who hums to calm herself down

Cold water, humming, gargling… These tips can stimulate the vagus nerve for a few moments, but the long-term benefits are limited.

To increase vagal tone, you need to practice regularly, for a fairly long time, and at a steady pace.

Your breathing guided by touch

Yes, slow deep breathing activates the vagus nerve, but you still need to be able to practice regularly without mental overload.

The neoflo breathing belt sets the rhythm with gentle vibrations on your abdomen: you inhale as the vibrations rise, and exhale as they fall. You feel it, and your breathing follows naturally.

No screensNo notifications

To engage the brake, you need to let go of the gas pedal. No phone to check, no alerts to jolt your mind awake. With your eyes closed, on your couch, in your bed, or while watching a movie… your breathing slows, your body relaxes, and your thoughts calm down.

The vagus nerve runs through your diaphragm

When under stress, breathing becomes shallow in the chest, and the diaphragm stiffens.

The three vibro-tactile motors placed on the abdomen bring the breath back into the belly: the diaphragm regains its range of motion, abdominal breathing resumes on its own, and the belly relaxes.

5 minutes give a lift. 20 minutes transform.

A few minutes bring real, but temporary, relief. Like a muscle, vagal tone improves with duration and regularity . Keeping it up for 20 minutes on your own is hard. Guided by touch, it becomes natural. This is vagus nerve deep breathing.

An effect that builds session by session

Rest and Digest: the vagus nerve's role

The vagus nerve regulates the “rest and digestion” mode. A 20-minute session in the evening helps the body unwind after the day: it becomes easier to fall asleep, you wake up less often, and your stomach feels lighter.

Your Questions

What is vagal tone?

It's level of activity of your vagus nerve at rest. It is estimated primarily based on heart rate variability. The higher it is, the more easily your body returns to a relaxed state after experiencing stress.

How long should I use it each day?

We recommend at least one 20-minute session per day. Short sessions provide genuine but fleeting calm: it’s consistency and duration that produce the desired effect.

Do I need an app?

No. neoflo works without a phone: turn it on, choose your program and let the vibrations guide you

Are there any contraindications?

There are no contraindications to practicing slow deep breathing and abdominal breathing at your own pace and without straining. As a precaution, the belt is not recommended for pregnant women. If you have a pacemaker, keep it at least 15 cm (6 in) away and consult your doctor.

Is this a medical device?

No. neoflo is a wellness tool that uses touch to guide breathing, helping you calm down and better manage everyday stress. It is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Effects observed in studies on slow deep breathing and coherent breathing; they may vary from person to person.
