The Vagus Nerve is known as the “wandering nerve” because of his ramifications, starting from the brain and connecting the heart and most of the major organs in the body.

The primary component of the parasympathetic nervous system, the Vagus Nerve, regulates the automatic processes in the body like:

• increasing the intestinal and glands activity,
• relaxing sphincter muscles in the gastrointestinal tract
• conserving energy by slowing the heart rate.

The stimulation of the Vagus Nerve has as consequences:

• immediate stress release
• inflammation reduced dramatically
• considerably help in reducing depression
