If you're interested in the VeRelief devices, it's important to understand the differences between the Reset and the Prime. While both devices deliver effective vagus nerve stimulation, they have different features and capabilities to meet different needs.
The Reset is a simple and portable tool for vagus nerve stimulation that operates at 100Hz. It has one mode of operation and uses the same gel tips as the Prime, which last about 30 days before needing to be replaced. It's an excellent choice for people looking for an easy-to-use device for stress recovery and relaxation in any environment. It also has a slow-paced breathing feature that allows you to pair your breathing with the stimulation to slow down your breathing for a more effective relaxation experience. .
On the other hand, the VeRelief Prime has five different modes of operation, each with its own unique function. You will still stimulate the vagus nerve at the same location on the neck when using each of these modes. These modes include:
- Mode 1: 8Hz constant, which is designed for reducing worry or anxious thoughts. It is also good for median nerve stimulation for nauseous or wrist pain.
- Mode 2: 25Hz constant, designed for helping you get to sleep faster.
- Mode 3: 100Hz constant, which is perfect for auricular vagus nerve stimulation for stress response recovery.
- Mode 4: 100Hz with 6-cycle modulation, which goes up and down at 5 seconds on and 5 seconds off. Inhale when the stimulation is off and exhale when the stimulation is on. This guides you to 6 breaths per minute, which is known as Coherent Breathing. Using this breathing tactic while stimulating the vagus nerve is ideal for boosting focus and relaxation under pressure.
- Mode 5: 100Hz with 3-cycle stimulation, which goes up and down for 15 seconds on and 5 seconds off. Pair your breathing with it for maximum relaxation and stress response recovery. Bring your breath down to three breaths per minute. Ideal for people who experience panic attacks.
These various modes provide comprehensive nervous system recovery and relaxation. The VeRelief Prime is a superior product, but it may be overkill if you're only looking for an on-the-go relaxation device.
