If you have been around us long, you have probably heard us mention the vagus nerve. However, you might not realize its importance.
The Vagus Nerve carries signals to the brain, heart, lungs, and digestive system. The Vagus Nerve controls involuntary bodily functions like:
- Digestion/Gastrointestinal System – regulating digestion, appetite, and feeling satisfied. It helps control food movement through the digestive tract and activates enzymes in organs like the small intestines and the pancreas.
- Heart Rate and Blood Pressure – aids in regulating heart rate and blood pressure and is involved in the nervous system’s response to stress.
- Respiration – the vagus nerve helps regulate breathing and is involved in the control of the lungs.
- Swallowing and Speech – coordinates when you swallow or when you speak.
- Immune System and Inflammation – helps regulate and activate the immune system and inflammatory responses when the body sees a threat.
It’s the longest cranial nerve in the body, running from the brain to the large intestine. It is very easy to reset, calm, and activate. However, there are times you might need to help reset your Vagus Nerve. When should you do that, and how can you reset it?
Due to too much stress, age, and a perception of being unsafe, the vagus nerve can lose its ability to switch to the parasympathetic mode. The parasympathetic mode is how your body calms after a fight-or-flight response to a stressful situation.
When the vagus nerve is stressed, a person might experience acid reflux, heart rate or blood pressure changes, difficulty swallowing, dizziness or lightheadedness, fatigue, nausea, or even tachycardia. If you use supplements and medications without first taking care of your vagus nerve, you might be fighting a losing battle!
Simple ways to support the Vagus Nerve:
- Humming
- Relaxed breathing – Breathe in your nose for a count of six, hold for a count of four, out through your nose for a count of six, and hold for a count of four. Do this ten times. If you can’t exhale through your nose, do it through pursed lips—as if blowing through a straw.
- Spark or Tap – HERE is the video on how to spark or tap to improve the vagus nerve, eyes, ears, and breathing. To order the professional quality sparker we use, click here. You can also order a less expensive one on Amazon – it works just as well; it just doesn’t last as long: click here
- ME Support – This product helps with emotional balance and nervous system regulation. Rub a few drops of ME Support at the back of the neck. You can also put ME Support undiluted in a glass spray bottle and spray it on your neck. A bottle can last for months because you only use a small amount.
Ella says, “The ME Support has been a lovely gift—thank you so much! The first time I tried it was before going to bed, and it calmed my whole body and made me extremely sleepy. I tried it again in the morning, but it made me too tired, so I adjusted the dosage to 10 drops in the morning and 10 in the evening. This balance works well, and I am still adjusting and experimenting. I feel a noticeable difference at the back of my brain and feel so calm when I take the drops.”
Some people prefer to put ME Support drops on the back of the neck instead of taking drops orally. Start slow and build up.
