Reading Time: 2 minutesThe ultimate healing device [Vagal Healer]
・What is the human operating system, the vagus nerve?
The vagus nerve is the 10th cranial nerve and is a representative parasympathetic nerve that emerges from the medulla oblongata and passes through the thoracic and abdominal cavities. It is the most important nerve for maintaining life, and plays a role in controlling the internal environment, equivalent to the OS in a computer, and regulates the movement and secretion functions of internal organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, and stomach and intestines. It also functions as a sensory nerve that transmits the sensations of the internal organs to the brain.
It controls the vocal cords and is involved in speech production and swallowing. It also has a major impact on the brain and is involved in controlling intestinal bacteria.
・Research on the vagus nerve is gaining momentum around the world
A paper stating that the vagus nerve is the main cause of after-effects of COVID-19 infection has attracted attention around the world.https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4479598
By controlling the vagus nerve
Inflammatory diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, infections, sepsis, etc.)
Brain diseases (Parkinson's disease, dementia, post-stroke paralysis, epilepsy, depression, autism, intractable headaches, etc.)
It is possible to improve many diseases and there is evidence that it may also improve cancer survival rates.
Many papers have been published showing that vagus nerve stimulation (neuromodulation) can improve various diseases without the use of drugs. The world's largest pharmaceutical companies have also begun research and development of electronic medicine.
- Vagus nerve stimulation therapy is safer and more effective than exosomes and stem cell culture supernatant infusion.
Exosome infusions and stem cell culture supernatant infusions are widely used in the field of aesthetic medicine for the purposes of anti-aging and treating various diseases. However, there is still no evidence and safety has not been established, so the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and various academic circles have issued warnings to be cautious when administering infusions.
Vagus nerve stimulation therapy, which is being studied worldwide, is an effective treatment with established safety and evidence.
・Improve your golf score with vagus nerve stimulation therapy
Vagus nerve stimulation therapy has been shown to not only treat diseases, but also improve athletic performance, stress management, and brain performance.
It has been shown to improve the concentration of golfers and their scores, improve performance in eSports, and improve the physical performance of athletes in all sports. At our clinic, the Japanese Olympic team, medalists, and many top professional athletes have used the vagus nerve stimulation therapy [Lung Activity] and seen remarkable results.
・Artists and famous critics improve their vocal skills
For artists, vocalization has become smoother, and Diamond☆Yukai also feels that his vocalization has become smoother and more powerful after introducing vagus nerve stimulation therapy [Lung Activity] before a live performance.
Dr. Soichiro Tahara, who is over 90 years old, once had difficulty speaking, which caused him to stop appearing on television. However, thanks to vagus nerve stimulation therapy (Chukatsu), his vocal cord and respiratory function improved, allowing him to speak again and he made a comeback.
・Research and development of the ultimate healing device
For over 20 years, I have been conducting research on the autonomic nervous system together with Professor Hiroyuki Kobayashi of the Juntendo University School of Medicine. (My doctoral thesis was on the study of the autonomic nervous system in sports medicine, and the third author was Dr. Daichi Suzuki, a gold medalist in swimming at the Seoul Olympics and former Commissioner of the Japan Sports Agency.)
We have developed an exercise called "Lung Activity" that most effectively improves vagus nerve function, and an approach to the auricular vagus nerve area.
Devices that stimulate the vagus nerve area of the ear with an electric current have been developed and are widely available overseas, but electrical stimulation is often uncomfortable and has a poor healing effect, so we were looking for other physical energies to stimulate the auricular vagus nerve area. That's when we came across vibration and heat.
Two and a half years ago, I met Kado Corporation and presented my idea for a vagus nerve stimulation device and my theory on lung vitality to the president and other executives. I discussed the possibility of creating the world's first vagus nerve stimulation device, in other words, the next generation of the ultimate healing device. To my surprise, I was given the go-ahead to develop it after just 30 minutes of presentation.
After undergoing various improvements and undergoing successive upgrades with the production of five generations of prototypes, the next-generation ultimate healing device was developed based on ergonomics with a thorough focus on cutting-edge technology and design and was released at the end of January 2025. It is the Vagal Healer.
- Futuristic design that fits around the neck and ears.
- The world's first vagus nerve stimulation device to use vibration and thermal energy.
- Use of music by autonomic nervous system artists that is effective against the autonomic nervous system.
-Detailed control possible via the app.
- Designed to ensure that vibrations do not interfere with bone conduction music.
- It is possible to approach the sternocleidomastoid muscle by applying the theory of [lung vitality].
・You can practice lung activity with audio guidance.
By stimulating the ear and the insertion point of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in the neck, vagus nerve stimulation is made more efficient, and the fine vibrations from the vibration element provide the ultimate in relaxation.
Even during development, the effectiveness of the device was confirmed by monitoring autonomic nervous function using prototypes.
This next-generation healthcare device was developed as a medical-engineering collaboration project by specialist doctors and Japan's leading manufacturer of design home appliances.
・The great potential of the healing device [Vagal Healer]
This portable device can be used not only for healthcare but also for many other purposes, such as improving sports performance, relaxation, improving concentration while studying, breathing support, etc. Since it is not a medical device, it cannot be used for disease treatment outside of medical institutions, but it is expected to be applied in a variety of fields, including health promotion, education, femtech, sports, nursing care, eSports, beauty salons, and spas.
As a researcher of the autonomic nervous system and the vagus nerve, I wanted to develop a device that would be useful to society. I would be delighted if the Vagal Healer could be a device that can heal many physical ailments, such as sleep disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, stress, and muscle tension, even if they do not lead to illness.
We developed this system to be easily portable and usable by anyone, from children to men and women, even the elderly, anytime and anywhere. It can also be used as a soothing audio device.
・Towards the future
We have created this app with the intention of upgrading Vagal Healer, including adding music of your choice, introducing an autonomic nervous function measurement system, and evaluating the effectiveness of the device before and after use. Further features are planned to be added in the new version.
We are also planning clinical trials using [Vagal Healer] at a university medical school to confirm its effects on the autonomic nervous system.
Last year, I also gave a lecture at a hands-on seminar hosted by Selista Co., Ltd. Medical professionals can purchase it from Selista Co., Ltd. For the general public, it is available from Human Techno Co., Ltd.
