Signs Your Nervous System is Dysregulated
The vagus nerve, also known as the 'wanderer', plays a crucial role in reducing stress in your body. It is like a big highway that carries messages from the brain to the digestive tract and back. These signals inform the brain about the condition of the organs and whether they need any help. Moreover, it can analyze the environment and signal whether you should be stressed or relaxed. After a scary event, the vagus nerve is responsible for telling the brain and body to relax. It triggers the parasympathetic nervous system that gradually pushes the body into a 'rest and digest' mode, enabling muscles to relax, food to digest, your body to heal, and your mind to become calm.
The Vagus Nerve ⚡️
The vagus nerve, also known as the tenth cranial nerve, is a cranial nerve that carries sensory fibers that create a pathway that interfaces with the parasympathetic control of the heart, lungs, and digestive tract.
