Stimulating the vagus nerve is key to helping to calm our nervous system and manage stress more effectively.

The vagus nerve carries an extensive range of signals from digestive system and organs to the brain and vice versa. It is the tenth cranial nerve, extending from its origin in the brainstem through the neck and the thorax down to the abdomen, connecting with major bodily organs.

Massaging gently along the vagus nerve in the ears and neck can help to calm the nervous system and bring a deeper sense of safety within the body.
