Learn how to use the A Moment of Calm Duo to activate your vagus nerve and unwind with a simple, relaxing body care routine for stress relief.

Quick answer

For a simple, effective way to unwind, use the A Moment of Calm Duo to activate your vagus nerve and create a relaxing body care routine in just a few minutes.

Why the vagus nerve matters for stress relief

The vagus nerve is a key part of your parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for the 'rest and digest' response. When you're stressed, this nerve can become underactive, making it harder to calm down. The A Moment of Calm Duo is designed to directly stimulate this nerve through gentle scent and touch, helping you shift from fight-or-flight to relaxation.

What makes this duo different from a regular body oil and lotion

Most body oils and lotions focus only on skin hydration. This duo combines a bath oil and a concentrated oil blend that work together to target the nervous system. The Vagus Nerve Bath Oil is meant for a warm bath, while the Vagus Nerve Oil is a roll-on for pulse points. This two-step approach lets you layer relaxation throughout your day, not just after a shower.

How to use the A Moment of Calm Duo for stress relief

Symptom: You feel tense, anxious, or overwhelmed: You might notice shallow breathing, muscle tightness, or a racing mind. This is a sign your nervous system is stuck in a stress response.
Likely cause: Underactive vagus nerve due to chronic stress: Daily pressures can suppress the vagus nerve, making it harder to naturally calm down. Your body needs a gentle nudge to switch into relaxation mode.
Corrective action: Use the Vagus Nerve Bath Oil in a warm bath: Add the full 1 fl oz bottle to a warm bath and soak for 15-20 minutes. The warm water and essential oils help activate the vagus nerve, promoting a deep sense of calm. If you don't have a bathtub, skip this step and move to the next one.
Corrective action: Apply Vagus Nerve Oil to pulse points: Roll the 0.26 fl oz oil onto your wrists, behind your ears, and on your neck. Inhale deeply as you apply. This provides ongoing calming support throughout the day. If you are sensitive to strong scents, test on a small patch of skin first.
Stop or choose another option if: You have a known allergy to essential oils: If you have a history of allergic reactions to essential oils, consult your doctor before using this product. For a fragrance-free alternative, consider a plain unscented body oil. Always patch test new products, especially when using for stress relief where you want to avoid any additional irritation.
