The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve in the body, running from your brainstem to your abdomen. It's central to the parasympathetic nervous system—responsible for rest, digestion, and recovery.
Why is the Vagus Nerve Important?
- It regulates heart rate and digestion
- Influences mood through neurotransmitters like GABA
- Connects the brain and body for integrated healing
Signs of Low Vagal Tone
- Poor digestion
- Anxiety and depression
- Fatigue and brain fog
How to Stimulate the Vagus Nerve
- Deep, slow breathing
- Singing, humming, or chanting
- Cold water exposure
- Acupressure and gentle massage (including using your Lükii™ band)
Supporting your vagus nerve enhances your ability to respond to stress, regulate emotions, and feel grounded.
