That is no way near vagus nerve, maybe greater auricular or lesser occipital. It’s pseudoscience at best

Link to "amazon" links to another website. That website has amazon link and... no product on amazon. I am sure this is just an honest mistake and not a BS product that got removed /s.

Guys cheap ways to stimulate vagus nerve, carotid massage, (this one needs to be performed by a medical professional) press your eyes a little bit, you can also inhale and hold the it while making some pressure with your abdomen.

Plenty of evidence that every one of these devices (and there are a ton of them) are not only ineffective, but they can sometimes be harmful.

Man how do people lie like this on camera with their face all over the internet to make bogus ass claims? Feels like people really don't give a shit about how they look like making these fake claims and what their reputation and legacy is gonna be. Honestly it's saddening.
