Ask what a brain or nerve claim actually means · D9.4

Check a claim about activating the vagus nerve

A technique or product promises a nervous-system reset.

Consider a practice claim

Try these steps

1. Write the exact claim and what action or product it requires.
2. Ask for reliable evidence, intended use, suitability, risks, and who is qualified to advise you.
3. Avoid treating a marketing phrase as an individualized instruction, especially for cold exposure or physical stimulation.

An example

What does 'reset' mean here, and what evidence supports that specific result?

Reflect

Is the promised result defined and supported?

Next time

Discuss clinical or physically demanding use with an appropriate health professional.
