WE GET ASKED THIS ALL THE TIME

“How does OhmBody work?”

It’s a great question—and one we love to answer.

Wearable neurostimulation is at the heart of what makes OhmBody a game-changer for menstrual wellness. More than a period or health tracker, OhmBody directly interacts with your nervous system, non-invasively, to promote comfort, mood balance, and healthy blood flow/loss throughout your cycle.

Your menstrual cycle goes through multiple phases—like the luteal and follicular phases and menstruation itself—each driven by hormonal shifts. But what many don’t realize is that those hormonal changes affect your autonomic nervous system. That’s the system behind the scenes controlling your stress response, heart rate, digestion, and mood. As you start your period, your nervous system enters a stress state which shows up as mood swings, cramps, gastric upset and even heavy menstrual bleeding.

Let’s go deeper into the science behind how OhmBody helps.

GROUNDED IN PROVEN SCIENCE

50+ Years of Nerve Stimulation Research

For more than 50 years, vagus and trigeminal nerve stimulation have been used successfully in FDA-approved medical devices for conditions such as epilepsy, chronic migraines, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and stroke recovery.

OhmBody builds on this clinically validated foundation, applying it in a wearable form to an area long overlooked: menstrual wellness. Through gentle electrical pulses, OhmBody activates your body’s built-in regulatory systems, helping you feel more centered and in control throughout your cycle.

GENTLE PULSES, BIG IMPACT

Science in Service of Your Cycle

Using a proprietary earpiece, OhmBody delivers low-level electrical pulses (transcutaneous auricular neurostimulation) through the skin around the ear to access two critical nerve pathways, the vagus and trigeminal nerves, that play key roles in autonomic regulation and sensory modulation:

#1 The Vagus Nerve: Your Body’s Superhighway of Calm

The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve in your body, running from the brainstem to multiple vital organs including the heart, lungs, stomach, intestines, and reproductive system.

When gently stimulated, it can help:

• Shift your body from “fight or flight” (sympathetic) mode to “rest and digest” (parasympathetic) mode
• Regulate heart rate and blood pressure for a feeling of calm
• Encourage healthy digestion and gastrointestinal motility
• Activates platelets in the spleen which aids in healthy blood flow and may contribute to less blood loss during menstruation

OhmBody helps you harness this powerful natural pathway to promote comfort and balance, even on your toughest days.

#2 The Trigeminal Nerve: Your Body’s Built-in Pain Modulator

The trigeminal nerve is the largest cranial nerve and serves as the main sensory pathway for the face and head.

When engaged by OhmBody, it may:

• Help modulate pain perception and decrease discomfort
• Activate relaxation pathways and reduce sensory stress responses

The result? Subtle soothing sensations that leave you feeling more in control and ready to take on your day.

WEARABLE NEUROSTIMULATION

The Body Systems That Benefit Most

OhmBody is designed to complement the body systems that already work hard for you:

• Nervous system: Supporting calm, balance, and stress relief
• Circulatory system: Helping to regulate healthy vascular tone and promote normal blood flow and blood loss patterns

Best of all? OhmBody does this without drugs, hormones, or invasive treatments, meaning no systemic side effects or interactions. It simply supports what your body is designed to do—naturally.

Your Cycle. Your Rules.

We know no two cycles—or days—are alike. That’s why OhmBody is flexible:

• Wear it when you want, where you want, for as long as you want
• Adjust stimulation intensity to your personal comfort
• Take it from the couch, to the gym, to the office, and even to dinner with friends (just avoid water)

OhmBody is your small, discreet sidekick designed so go with you throughout your active day—because life doesn’t stop when you start.
