How to Support Your Vagus Nerve for Stress Relief, Better Sleep, and Inner Calm
Have you ever noticed how a deep sigh, a gentle laugh, or humming your favorite tune can make you feel instantly calmer? That’s the power of vagus nerve stimulation at work.
The vagus nerve is like a superhighway that connects your brain to your heart, lungs, and digestive system. It plays a central role in the parasympathetic nervous system—your body’s natural “rest and digest” mode. When your vagus nerve is supported, your body shifts out of fight or flight and into balance, where real healing can begin.
Unfortunately, modern life often keeps us stuck in stress mode. The result? Poor sleep, digestive issues, inflammation, and mood imbalances. The good news is that you can practice simple vagus nerve exercises and holistic techniques to reset your nervous system and restore calm.
