All exercises and stimulating techniques that facilitate vagus nerve functions are all designed with one primary goal: to restore the vagus nerve to a safe state.

It transmits information in both directions, so both your brain’s orders and your organs’ reports to the brain go through the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is responsible for calming you down after a stressful situation, controlling the inflammation levels in your body, regulating your digestion, and much more. As you see, a lot can go wrong in your body if the vagus nerve is somehow blocked or not active enough.

The vagus nerve is the longest and most complex of all the 12 pairs of cranial nerves emanating from the brain! Obviously, owing to its size and complexity, you can bet that its responsibilities are just as many. For example, it is responsible for carrying messages to and from the heart, brain, digestive system, various organs, and muscles. It is responsible for the parasympathetic nervous system and oversees many critical body functions, including communicating motor as well as sensory impulses to every body organ.
