The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for simulating the vagus nerve. The apparatus for stimulating the vagus nerve includes: a magnetic field generation unit generating a magnetic field in a form of pulse, which stimulates a preset area including the vagus nerve of a user by an electric current applied to a coil； a power supply unit applying the electric current to the coil； and a control unit controlling an intensity of the electric current applied to the coil, and a pulse width and a peak interval of the magnetic field, wherein the magnetic field has a peak intensity that is set using a biomagnetic signal of the use. According to the present invention, the body function may be improved using the pulsed magnetic field with the intensity close to the biomagnetic signals.
