We often hear about the importance of the Vagus Nerve. It came to the forefront during covid and is a big deal.
The Vagus Nerve is the longest nerve in the body and the only nerve that goes into the brain and travels through the body. It impacts our brain, tight neck, shoulders, breathing, and voice and plays a significant role in the gut. It is the primary driver of the parasympathetic activity in the body. It supplies energy to almost every internal organ. It also supplies muscles with energy that helps you breathe, swallow, and speak.
How is your Vagus Nerve? What if you could do a straightforward self-assessment to discover the overall health of your Vagus Nerve?
This simple assessment will examine the Vagus Nerve and several other nerves (Cranial Nerve 9—Glossopharyngeal—swallowing and Cranial Nerve 11—Accessory—head and throat movement).
So, what is this simple assessment?
