The vagus nerve is a part of the parasympathetic nervous system and is responsible for helping to regulate involuntary functions, such as heart rate and breathing. It helps the body to be able to regulate itself in stressful situations. The vagus nerve sends information through the brain, heart, and digestive system.
We can help our vagus nerve to stay healthy by using herbs and supplements, such as ashwagandha and magnesium. We can do techniques, like humming, chanting, gargling, and singing to stimulate the vagus nerve. Deep breathing is another natural way to stimulate the nerve.
