What is the Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)?


  • The vagus nerve is the 10th and longest cranial nerve, is a vital part of your body’s parasympathetic healing system. Known as “the wandering nerve,” it connects your brain to nearly every major organ, playing a crucial role in recovery, digestion, and mental health.
  • Vagus Nerve Stimulation counters our “fight or flight” stress response to promote relaxation and activate our restorative healing functions throughout the body.
  • Supporting your vagus nerve with Dolphin Vagus Nerve Stimulation improves your ability to manage stress to enhance sleep, relaxation and exercise recovery.


How It Supports Your Body


By modulating your autonomic nervous system, Dolphin VNS promotes homeostasis, stress resilience, and mental-emotional harmony.


Benefits of Vagus Nerve Stimulation


Whether you’re struggling with sleep issues, stress, POTS, depression, anxiety, digestive imbalance, weight management, PTSD, or simply looking to enhance your overall well-being, Dolphin VNS is your solution. Even if you’re healthy, this therapy will improve your overall wellness.


  • Significant Stress and Anxiety Reduction: Dolphin VNS is designed to act as the "brakes" of the body, reducing sympathetic "fight-or-flight" stress in real-time, often providing relaxation benefits after a single 10–12-minute session.
  • Chronic Pain Management: The therapy has been shown to reduce pain levels by an average of 54% to 82%, making it highly effective for chronic, acute, and neuropathic pain, including back pain, fibromyalgia, and myofascial pain.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Effects: By stimulating the vagus nerve, this therapy triggers the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines that contribute to systemic inflammation and conditions like long COVID.
  • Improved Sleep and Recovery: By increasing vagal tone, the therapy enhances the body's ability to recover from exercise and stress, leading to better sleep quality and faster physiological repair.
  • Post-COVID-19 Recovery: The Dolphin Neurostim device is authorized by Health Canada to provide relief for symptoms of long COVID, such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and cognitive distress, by targeting the underlying nervous system dysfunction.
  • Improved Mental-Emotional Harmony: Users report improved mood regulation, reduced PTSD symptoms, and greater resilience to stress.

Safety and Ease of Use: The device is non-invasive, drug-free, and applies 98-99% less voltage than traditional TENS units, making it safe for clinic or home use.


Dolphin VNS is particularly effective for managing PTSD, POTS, and digestive imbalances, providing a "rest-digest-heal" state.
