About
The Vagus nerve is a two-way connection between the brain and major organs like the heart, lungs, liver, pancreas, spleen and the entire digestive tract.
The external ear is an easy location for vagus nerve stimulation using a TENS-transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator device.
The vagus nerve is involved in many critical functions of the body's autonomic nervous system including digestion, breathing, hormone release and heart rate.
The vagus is part of the body's parasympathetic nervous system also known as the rest and digest nervous system which is the opposite of your
sympathetic nervous system or fight or flight response.
Sympathetic= stress gas pedal
Parasympathetic= brakes
The brain-body connection goes both ways, so stimulating vagal activity cannot only impact vital bodily functions but can impact our brain function such as pain, neurogenesis, brain plasticity, memory, learning, and cognition.
Tens decreases your body's stress response and improves brain body connection, positively affecting bodily functions through modulation of stress, hormone release, inflammation, digestion, detoxification and metabolism, while stimulating and impacting brain activity and affecting functions like mood, the perception of pain by altering the release of neurochemicals.
Instructions:
A clip will be placed on your left ear.
A small pad will be placed on your left shoulder
You will feel a slight tingle as the TENS unit stimulates your Vagus Nerve instructing the body to rest, digest, heal and detox.
