The new report draws on the latest clinical research which suggests that those with demonstrable disruption to their vagus nerve were more likely to experience heartburn or acid reflux.

More than 60 million Americans experience heartburn at least once a month, with the latest estimates suggesting that over 15 million adults suffer from the condition daily, explains Pulsetto. Heartburn, which is characterised by a burning pain in the chest caused by the regurgitation of gastric acid into the esophagus, is usually triggered after eating and is made worse when lying down.

Treatment for the condition often involves taking antacid medication to neutralize the stomach acid and avoiding trigger foods, however, this latest report from Pulsetto indicates that an alternative, drug-free treatment could be available to sufferers from an unexpected source: vagus nerve stimulation.

“Vagus nerve stimulation has long been used to help calm those with stress or anxiety, however most people don’t realise that it can also have a positive impact on digestive issues like heartburn,” explained a Pulsetto spokesperson. “VNS can help regulate the communication between your brain and stomach, ensuring that your digestive system works as a well-oiled machine. This means less acid spilling into places it shouldn’t be and more comfort for you after meals.”

Often referred to as the body’s information super-highway, the vagus nerve is responsible for sending the signals which trigger stomach acid production. When the nerve is damaged or overactive, it can contribute to excess acid being created and creeping up the esophagus. Clinical studies have shown that stimulating the vagus nerve through HRV exercises or low-intensity electrical pulses can help reverse this process and eliminate heartburn symptoms.

For optimal results, Pulsetto recommends using their vagus nerve stimulation device to help control stomach acid production. Their wearable, non-invasive wellness device sits comfortably around the neck and has customized settings which are controlled with the company’s app.

Vagus nerve stimulation using a quality device such as Pulsetto is considered safe for the majority of users. However, those with underlying health conditions are advised to consult with a medical professional before commencing VNS sessions.
