The Vagus Nerve is a cranial pair, the largest, and connects our Brain with our intestine, passing through the neck, thorax and abdomen. It is part of the Parasympathetic System that controls the involuntary functions of the Body and performs vitally important functions such as regulating heart rate, breathing and the activity of the digestive organs.

The Vagus Nerve can function incorrectly in different situations, one of them being chronic stress, underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, chronic use of some drugs, repeated infections. When the Vagus Nerve does not function correctly, each structure through which it passes and the function it regulates begin to fail and different symptoms appear such as palpitations, headaches, mood disorders, heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux, poor digestion, abdominal inflammation, hormonal imbalance. For this reason, it is very important to work on recovering its functionality, in a comprehensive manner, addressing the cause of its malfunction and activating its function.

You have several options within Alchemy care med to Activate your Vagus Nerve:

1:1 consultation we do the comprehensive approach to the cause, and then we move on to the included vagal activation session

Vagal Activation Program, Guide and individual Activation session.

I look forward to working on your Vagus Nerve naturally with an optimal result guaranteed.
