Improve your mental and physical well-being in minutes with breathing. Coherence breathing is a simple, natural, and neuroscience-based breathing exercise that regulates the parasympathetic nervous system (the vagus nerve), helping bring your body and mind back into harmony. Only 5 minutes of coherence breathing a day can improve every aspect of your daily life: stress, anxiety, focus, energy, sleep, digestion, heart rate, HRV, lung capacity, inflammation, and more. Join thousands of users already using Vagus+ to improve their well-being. The app is 100% customizable: you can choose the breathing rhythm (beginner, coherence, calm, sleep, focus, box breathing, and relaxation), duration, theme, animation, and bell.
