Vagus nerve activation: Daily exercises. Humming, Gargling, Massage and Diaphragmatic breathing

The vagus nerve is one of the longest nerves in your body, running from your brainstem down to your abdomen. It's a key player in the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps regulate your body's rest-and-digest functions. Activating this nerve can reduce stress, lower heart rate, and improve digestion.

So follow along with me as we practice some exercises together.

If you are really struggling please seek out appropriate support for your country of origin. In the UK I would recommend your GP, emergency services, samaritans but this list is not extensive.
