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.

One session

Four minutes, then it stops itself.

Sit down, press once. Pulse runs a fixed session and powers down — there's no habit to maintain.

Four patterns

A rhythm per mood.

What it feels like

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.

The signal

  • Light, rhythmic tingling — never sharp

  • Gentle 5–30 Hz pulses — the vagus nerve's range

Micro-pulses travel up the vagus nerve — the body's built-in calm switch.

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.
