What the science of vagus nerve stimulation shows
Figures reflect published research on transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation. Individual results vary. Holtrow Pulse is a wellness device, not a medical treatment.
The modern nervous system
Stuck in "on." All day, every day.
Notifications, deadlines and noise hold the body in fight-or-flight. The vagus nerve is its built-in brake — Pulse presses it in four-minute sessions, on a timer.
Four minutes, then it stops itself.
Sit down, press once. Pulse runs a fixed session and powers down — there's no habit to maintain.
A rhythm per mood.
Charge it weekly.
From wired to settled.
Most people feel the downshift inside the first session. The deeper change — sleep, baseline stress — builds over two to four weeks.
Learn it in one press.
Mode and intensity live on the remote.
Seen in the wild.
Real routines, four minutes at a time.
Calm you can wear.
A titanium neckband that finds your body's off switch — the vagus nerve — four minutes at a time. Two buttons, a remote in the box, no app required.
Pick the shift you need.
Four modes, each a different pulse pattern — one for every way a day gets on top of you.
Relax
The edge off — a four-minute downshift.
Sleep
A slower pattern to wind down before bed.
Focus
Quiet the noise. Keep the signal.
Recover
Rest-and-repair after heavy days.
How it works
Four minutes. Four steps.
Apply & place
Add a drop of gel and rest the titanium band at the base of your neck.
Pick a mode
Relax, Sleep, Focus or Recovery — the M button, the included remote, or the optional app.
Press start
Gentle 5–30 Hz pulses stimulate the vagus nerve. Hands free.
Reset
Read, scroll or breathe for ~4 minutes. Feel the shift toward calm.
The signal
- Light, rhythmic tingling — never sharp
- About 4 minutes per session · auto shut-off
- Gentle 5–30 Hz pulses — the vagus nerve's range
Micro-pulses travel up the vagus nerve — the body's built-in calm switch.

People can't stop talking about it
"I use it for four minutes before bed and I'm out cold. First thing in years that actually quiets my racing mind."
"My Oura HRV is up and my afternoon anxiety is way down. Looked at Pulsetto first — this does the same thing for less."
"Hands-free is the whole point. I put it on, answer emails, and by the time I'm done I feel like I exhaled for the first time all day."
Good to know
Questions, answered
What exactly does Holtrow Pulse do?
It delivers gentle low-frequency electrical pulses (5–30 Hz) to the vagus nerve at the side/base of the neck. Stimulating this nerve helps shift your body from "fight-or-flight" toward "rest-and-digest" — supporting calm, sleep, focus and recovery.
How do I use it and how often?
Apply a drop of conductive gel, place the band on your neck, choose a mode and press start. Most people use it for ~4 minutes, once or twice a day. It's completely hands-free.
When will I feel something?
Many people feel a wave of calm during the very first session. Benefits to sleep and baseline stress typically build over a few weeks of consistent use.
Is it safe?
Holtrow Pulse is a non-invasive wellness device. Do not use if you are pregnant, have epilepsy, a pacemaker or implanted electronic device, or a heart condition — consult your doctor first. It is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical condition.
What's in the box?
Holtrow Pulse titanium neckband, wireless remote control, USB-C charging cable, conductive gel, and a quick-start guide. The device works fully on its own — two buttons on the band, or the remote from across the room. An optional companion app adds custom programs and session tracking, but is never required.
What if it's not for me?
Try it for 30 nights. If you don't feel the difference, send it back for a full refund (return shipping is at your expense). Every device is covered by a 2-year warranty; return shipping on warranty claims isn't covered.
The Holtrow promise
Try it 30 nights. Love it, or your money back.
Use Holtrow Pulse every day for a full month. If you're not calmer, sleeping better and genuinely glad you bought it, email us for a full refund — no restocking fees, no awkward questions. We take the risk so you don't have to.
