In today's episode we are talking all about the vagus nerve. We discuss what the vagus nerve is, what organs it innervates and how it plays a role in the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. We also discuss the vagus nerve's role in relaxation and how stimulating the vagus nerve can aid in blood flow, thus leading to overall ease throughout the body. Finally, we talk about methods to stimulate the vagus nerve including reseting the vagus nerve and diaphragmatic breathing.
