Do you struggle with your own depression, anxiety, or emotional regulation? Do you feel like you are a slave to your own emotions, no matter how hard you try to break free? If so, then keep reading...
The vagus nerve is a cranial nerve that travels throughout most of the body. It connects to your face, to your throat, your heart and lungs, and all the way down into your guts. It is the connection between your visceral organs and the brain, allowing for much of the physical regulation of your body through passing information back and forth. However, it is so much more than that.
The vagus nerve presides over the autonomic nervous system, which determines how you respond to stress and the outside world. It controls your emotions and whether you respond to stress with anger, fear, or shutting down altogether. It is believed that when your vagus nerve is healthy, it is able to shift between these with ease, ensuring that it is capable of regulating your body and keeping you alive to see another day.
However, sometimes, something goes wrong. For some reason, you may find that your vagus nerve simply does not work properly. Maybe it struggles to trigger due to some underlying cause, or maybe it is simply out of practice. No matter the reason, however, so long as your vagus nerve is intact, you should be able to tone it up and kick it right back into shape. When you suffer from low vagal tone, you find that you cannot manage your emotions. You may find that you anxious or depressed, or you may struggle with your health in other ways.
