Did you know that our autonomic nervous system is regulated by a nerve called the Vagus Nerve?
𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩? 𝙇𝙚𝙩 𝙢𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙣.
In the body, the vagus nerve regulates, among other things, heart rate, bowel movements, sweating, speech production, eating, and many other essential functions. Dysfunction of the vagus nerve can cause problems with digestion (dyspepsia, reflux, colitis, etc.), blood sugar regulation, urinary excretion, and immune system function.
In addition to regulating the functioning of internal organs, the vagus nerve is also counteracting the fight-or-flight system in the body. Stimulating the vagus nerve benefits mental health and makes you feel calmer, clearer, and more compassionate.
Improve your vagal tone and turn it into a superpower!

👉The vagus nerve connects the brain to various internal organs and is the main nerve involved in relaxation and recovery
👉Prolonged stress and insufficient relaxation reduce the activity of the vagus nerve and cause imbalances in the nervous system
👉The vagus nerve can be activated with cold exposure, such as placing something cold on the side of the neck or immersing the face in cold water
👉Improving gut health supports the vagus nerve function through the gut-brain axis
👉Stress reduction improves gut health through the brain-gut axis
👉Meditation, singing, deep breathing, and near-infrasonic frequency activate the vagus nerve
And remember - the chiromassage can also stimulate the vagus nerve..
