11 Reasons to Stimulate Your Vagus Nerve with Neoflo

Persistent stress, a knot in your stomach, light sleep, feeling tired when you wake up… Your vagus nerve is your nervous system’s natural brake. That’s why thousands of people have chosen to train it with the neoflo breathing belt.

Your vagus nerve is your stress-relief mechanism

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 not being used much, 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

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 cardiac coherence, one of the most widely studied methods for activating the vagus nerve.

Quick fixes aren't enough

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, cardiac coherence 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 they rise, and exhale as they fall. You feel it, and your breathing follows naturally.

Noscreen, no 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 invigorate. 20 minutes transform.

A few minutes bring real, but fleeting, relief. Like a muscle, vagal tone improves with practice and consistency. On your own, holding the pose for 20 minutes is difficult; guided by touch, it becomes natural. This is the Vagus nerve deep breathing.

A measurable effect from the very first sessions

The vagus nerve is activated, the heart rate slows, the shoulders relax, and the abdomen loosens. This isn’t just a feeling—it’s been measured in studies involving sessions lasting up to 20 minutes.

Rest and Digestion: The Role of the Vagus Nerve

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?

This is the 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 we need an app?

No. neoflo is completely separate from your phone: you turn it on, choose your program, and follow the instructions.

Are there any contraindications?

There are no contraindications to practicing cardiac coherence 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 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 breathing and cardiac coherence; they may vary from person to person.
