ZenoWell Reviews 

This is an excellent product and very easy to use. The relax mode is especially effective. The gentle stimulation helps me unwind, which has been really helpful for my anxiety disorder. After about two weeks of use, my sleep quality has also improved.

The Vita and Luna units from ZenoWell have made the clinical findings and potential of a from of Vegas nerve stimulation (VNS) available and more affordable for the general public to experiment with in its effects on general health and well being. While there are differences between direct and invasive stimulation of the Vegas nerve through an implant, which has shown clear benefits for treating inflammation and a host of related conditions, using the auricular stimulation of a branch of the ‘great nerve’ (Ta-VNS) is an up and coming means for a wider application and without the expense or complications of surgical intervention.

I have been recently exploring the use of Ta_VNS for my own long standing (42 years) condition of chronic inflammation, as experienced as RA and, even though the results are not clear cut or in any way resolved yet, there is a definite change in the balance between the activity of my sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems , as indicated by HRV measurements using my phone camera and light source (PPG). Changing this balance is a well recognised precursor to improvements in many conditions and states of being and mind. So my feeling is that there can be many advantages to personal experimentation to find how one or other of the various stimulation modes the device offers (medit, relax, sleep, and repair with one of the models) can help set the scene for very customised improvements over time.

The devices are straightforward to use with a good battery life and where the automatic 20 minute sessions are convenient for most applications. Using the earpiece can be a bit fiddly and inconsistent to start with in terms of holding its position in the right place and the use of a gel is recommended to give the best electrical contact. I am told that refinements to the earpiece are underway so that should improve consistency in due course so long as individual ear shape and size can be catered for.

Overall, a very welcome addition to the array of tools one can now access to empower one’s own health and wellbeing, in an age where we no longer need to be at the mercy of stretched or unaffordable clinical resources.

I recommended keeping a diary of how one uses the device so that long term trends can be seen. I know from my own experience that even the seasons make a noticeable change in my condition, let alone the effects of foods I consume. So experimentation and customising the sessions to find what works best is crucial and worth the effort. With the increased focus on customised medicine, it’s likely that a very individual regime of different pulse modes and durations will give better results that ‘off the shelf’ settings, although these are important to get started.

There are various unknowns yet in this burgeoning science of VNS and its derivatives. The increasing weight of anecdotal evince will play its part in motivating the appropriate clinical trials to be done. That can only be a good thing for all of us as we expand our understanding of the intricacies of the human being and how to meaningfully interact with our own nature for individual and collective benefit.

I used the vagus nerve stimulation device from zenowell to improve my vagal tone. I used my iwatch to track HRV and stress index. After 3 weeks, it really improved, although not a lot. I can see the change in the pattern of HRV. if you are looking for a HRV boost device, you can have a try.
