The Parasympathetic System functions involuntarily/automatically in our body (HR, BP, digestion, ) It is the reaction of the vagus nerve and your blood vessels. The Sympathetic Nervous system and the Parasympathetic Nervous system (PNS) makes up the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS).
PNS works during the “digestion and resting” states. If the parasympathetic system kicks in, the body will increase in salivation and activities in digestion as well as decrease in heart rate and other sympathetic responses. This phase (PNS) is when the body increases it's healing and rests. of the body. The Sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is when the body is in the "fight or flight" state and you want to avoid being in the STRESS state for prolong time.
If the SNS (stress response) over works, you enter into the "fight, flight, and freeze", release of the stress hormone (cortisol/adrenaline) occurs in the body. Internally, the PNS(relax system), the vagus nerve kicks in and says, "RELAX!”. The lucky people with a stronger vagal tone can rest, recover, and restore quicker.
Higher Parasympathetic (Relax state) function has an inverse relationship with the sympathetic (stress state) system.
Parasympathetic System (PNS-Destress) Can:
-
PNS: includes nerves outside the brain and Spinal Cord > healing/recovery
-
What is the " wandering nerve"? It's the Vagus Nerve and it's the longest cranial nerve (CN10) and travels from the brain to the lower abdomen.
-
CN10 Vagus nerve controls 80% of the PNS (resting system/low stress)
-
Decrease HR and BP
-
Aids in Healing
-
Recovery
-
Strengthens Immune System
-
Rest, Digest and Repair
* Vagus nerve is deeply connected to the heart, gut and voice. Therefore, speaking, yelling, singing and outside stress can stimulate the sympathetic (stress) system. Decreasing stress and improving Vagal tone can improve anxiety, stress and overall health...it affects our gut-brain health!

Deep Treatment
-
Easy and powerful
-
The goal of treatment is to decrease pain and disease by indirectly tapping into the Vagus Nerve.
The amazing benefits of healthy vagal tone are:
-
Inflammation reduced> an anti-inflammatory signal is sent by the vagus nerve to other parts of the body. This decreases muscle tone and activation of vagal tone> reduces tense muscles/trigger point tenderness.
-
Enhanced circulation/lymph flow> Dealing with stress, anxiety and fear are improved when the vagus nerve tone is higher because it sends information from the abdomen to the brain. These signals help you heal and recover quicker from stressful situations.
-
Reduced pain> decreasing stress will decrease pain
Since the vagus nerve connects from the abdomen to the brain, it indicates there is "mind-body" connection> simply put> decrease mental stress> decrease pain. This may sometimes explain why you are still experiencing physical pain when ALL other diagnostic tests are negative but always important to consult your doctor.
