Supporting your wellbeing through gentle vagus nerve stimulation
Nurosym® by Parasym is a CE-marked, non-invasive medical device that provides gentle stimulation to the auricular (ear) branch of the vagus nerve using a comfortable ear clip.
During your treatment, the device is worn on the outer ear while you relax, allowing you to enjoy your wellbeing session without disrupting your experience.
What is the vagus nerve?
The vagus nerve is one of the longest nerves in the body and forms a key part of the autonomic nervous system. It helps regulate many of the body's automatic functions, including heart rate, breathing and digestion.
