Pulsetto works by activating the Vagus Nerve through the skin in the neck area, a technique known scientifically as Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS). When the gentle, safe electrical current is applied, it sends direct signals along the Vagus Nerve, which serves as the primary communication highway connecting the brain to most vital organs, including the heart, lungs, and the digestive system.
This deliberate electrical stimulation has the immediate effect of modulating autonomic activity, acting as a physiological reboot. The “rest and recovery” signal is amplified, resulting in the release of crucial neurotransmitters, such as acetylcholine. It is this chemical release that slows the heart rate and sends the clear physiological message to the body that there is no imminent danger, quickly disarming the fight-or-flight response.
The true magic and long-term value lie in consistent use. Over time, regular practice with Pulsetto enhances what we call Vagal Tone. Vagal Tone is the measure of your stress responsiveness, and a strong Vagal Tone is intrinsically linked to better emotional resilience, mood regulation, and, notably, higher Heart Rate Variability (HRV).
In summary, the device is not just offering passive relaxation; it is actively training your nervous system to be more robust and balanced. This continuous training improves the body’s innate ability to return to a state of calm and recovery on its own, providing a solid foundation for mental and physical health against chronic stress.
