During tVNS:

• A small device delivers mild electrical pulses
• These pulses are applied to the outer ear
• The stimulation activates branches of the vagus nerve
• Signals are sent to brain areas involved in calming, regulation, and healing

Most patients describe the sensation as:

A light tingling, warmth, or gentle tapping — never painful.

Sessions are typically 20–30 minutes, and you remain fully awake and comfortable throughout.

tVNS does not “treat a disease directly,” but it can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life by improving nervous system regulation.

It is commonly used to support:

• IBS and gut-brain symptoms (bloating, pain, irregular bowel habits)
• Anxiety and stress overload
• Autonomic nervous system imbalance
• Fatigue and poor recovery
• Sleep disturbances
• Inflammation-related symptoms

It is often combined with other neuromodulation approaches such as tDCS or TPS, depending on your needs.

Yes — when delivered by trained clinicians, tVNS is considered very safe.

Key points:

• Non-invasive (no surgery, no implants)
• Drug-free
• No sedation or downtime
• Suitable for long-term use
• Sessions can be adjusted for comfort and sensitivity

Side effects are uncommon and usually mild, such as temporary skin tingling or slight redness at the contact point.

Most patients feel:

• Calm or relaxed during sessions
• A sense of “switching off” or mental quiet
• Improved digestion or reduced tension over time

Benefits often build gradually over several sessions, as the nervous system learns to regulate itself more effectively.

We use tVNS because it:

• Targets the root of nervous system dysregulation
• Supports the gut–brain connection
• Complements medical, dietary, and physical therapies
• Can be safely personalised to each patient

Our goal is not just symptom relief — but helping your nervous system become more resilient, adaptable, and balanced.

tVNS may be suitable if you:

• ⦁ Feel stuck in chronic stress or fatigue
• ⦁ Have gut or IBS symptoms linked to stress
• ⦁ Experience anxiety, poor sleep, or brain fog
• ⦁ Want a gentle, non-drug approach to nervous system care

A consultation allows us to determine whether tVNS — alone or combined with other neuromodulation therapies — is the right fit for you.
