Download or read book Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve written by Stanley Rosenberg and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2017-12-05 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best-selling book on the topic—now in 15 languages. This practical guide to understanding the cranial nerves as the key to our psychological and physical well-being builds on Stephen Porges’s Polyvagal Theory—one of the most important recent developments in human neurobiology. Drawing on more than thirty years of experience as a craniosacral therapist and Rolfer, Stanley Rosenberg explores the crucial role that the vagus nerve plays in determining our psychological and emotional states and explains that a myriad of common psychological and physical symptoms—from anxiety and depression to migraines and back pain—indicates a lack of proper functioning in the vagus nerve. Through a series of easy self-help exercises, the book illustrates the simple ways we can regulate the vagus nerve in order to initiate deep relaxation, improve sleep, and recover from injury and trauma. Additionally, by exploring the link between a well-regulated vagus nerve and social functioning, Rosenberg’s findings and methods offer new hope that by improving social behavior it is possible to alleviate some of the symptoms at the core of many cases of autism spectrum disorders. Useful for psychotherapists, doctors, bodyworkers, and caregivers, as well as anyone who experiences the symptoms of chronic stress and depression, this book shows how we can optimize autonomic functioning in ourselves and others, and bring the body into the state of safety that activates its innate capacity to heal.

Book excerpt: The vagus nerve is one of the most important, yet most under-appreciated structures of the human body. It is the tenth cranial nerve innervating many of the visceral structures of the human body. It has been called the “wandering nerve, given its ubiquitous and meandering course throughout the body. The major branch of the parasympathetic nervous system, it optimizes the body’s state of rest, relaxation and recovery and is necessary to optimize health. It is a counterbalance to the sympathetic nervous system, which regulates the body’s fight or flight response. Containing over 160,000 fibers, it has both afferent and efferent branches, providing information to the brain on the status of the body’s organs. The brain then sends signals back down the vagus nerve to optimize bodily functions. Vagus nerve stimulation is a new frontier in medicine, tapping into the body’s intrinsic capability to optimize an organ’s function, control systemic inflammation and modify diseases without drugs. The use of non-implanted vagus nerve stimulators has made it possible to move neuromodulation up the treatment continuum, and has facilitated access for clinical evaluation and treatment. Scientists now have the ability to translate the basic science into clinical practice without the need for surgical intervention. Vagus Nerve Stimulation serves as a compendium of current knowledge about stimulating the vagus nerve in many different disease states. Chapters include applications to neurologic conditions, psychiatric conditions, inflammatory conditions, metabolic disease, reperfusion injuries, long covid, cardiac disease and even optimizing performance in healthy individuals. Translates the basic science of Vagus Nerve Stimulation into real world clinical applications Explains VNS anatomy and signaling through Central and Autonomic Nervous System Reviews VNS treatment of neurological, psychiatric, and inflammatory disorders Extends clinical utility to cardiac, renal, and metabolic disorders. Provides new insights to the disorder of vagus insufficiency syndrome Explores VNS treatment for headaches, TBI, stroke, seizures, and pain.

Download or read book The Secrets of Vagus Nerve Stimulation written by Lee Henton and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you aware there is an essential nerve in your body called the vagus nerve, which has a significant impact on your overall health? Are you willing to improve your health and overall wellbeing once and for all? Do you want to know how to activate the power of your vagus nerve? If so, then read on... The vagus nerve is not only the longest but also the most important nerve that runs in your body. It carries vital signals to and from your brain, heart, lungs, digestive system, and other major organs in your body. Should any damage be done to this nerve by your poor, unhealthy lifestyle, uncontrolled daily stress, or injury, you stand a high risk of being plagued by chronic inflammation, anxiety, depression, PTSD, digestive problems, heart diseases, and more. To give you a perspective, the World Health Organization in 2019 reported that about 263 million people globally suffer from depression, and this number is on the increase. In the US alone, the National Institute of Mental Health in its last report estimated that 17.3 million adults (7.1% of all US adults) had at least a major depressive episode, not to mention it costs the US billions of dollars annually to treat people with epilepsy, which is reported to have affected 1.3 million people in the US, according to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Now more than ever, it has become increasingly important to take back your mental wellbeing and overall health through conscious efforts in stimulating the vagus nerve. Vagus nerve stimulation has shown tremendous science-backed results in helping people who suffer from PTSD, anxiety, etc. and other conditions such as inflammation, among others. And more interestingly, these results can be achieved by applying certain natural exercises and practices that are completely inexpensive but yet proven to be highly effective. Perhaps you are experiencing one or more of the health defects mentioned, not to worry because this book would: * Provide you with deeper insights into what the vagus nerve is. * Explain the several important functions performed by the vagus nerve in the human body. * Enlighten you on several health conditions and diseases that are linked to a damaged vagus nerve. * Reveal certain lifestyle habits that can damage your vagus nerve. * Educate you on why your gut health is vital to your vagus nerve and what you can do to live a gut-healthy lifestyle. * Explain what a vagal tone is, its importance to your health, and how to measure and increase your vagal tone. * Describe science-backed natural exercises, practices, and methods you can start right away to stimulate your vagus nerve. * Help you unlock the power of your vagus nerve by empowering you to take full control of your health and overall wellbeing. And much more! Your decision to gain health and get back to a state of mental balance has led you to this book. Listen to that part of yourself rather than the apprehensions that are keeping you from a healthier and happier life.

Download or read book Supporting Anxiety and Vagus Nerve Dysfunction through Nutrition and Lifestyle written by Sasha Hope and published by Singing Dragon. This book was released on 2023-12-21 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vagus nerve is responsible for the regulation of all our internal organ functions. When it is damaged, the wide-ranging impact on our nervous system can manifest in a multitude of ways, including anxiety, hormonal imbalances, gastrointestinal distress, and vertigo. Based on current research into the vagus nerve and vagus nerve stimulation, this practical guide addresses a crucial missing link in healthcare and functional medicine by providing an innovative protocol on the management of anxiety and vagus nerve dysfunction through nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle. With a holistic, whole-person approach, this protocol bridges the divide between the physical and the psychological, providing a holistic approach that can be applied widely across various disciplines within healthcare, bodywork, and mental health. It provides detailed theory and is supplemented with an abundance of practical guidance including various recipes whilst also helping practitioners understand how clients may transition to a more sustainable, long-term protocol.
