The Role of the Vagus Nerve in Chronic Illness
The brain uses the vagus nerve to control the parasympathetic nervous system, which covers the detox, digest, healing, recovery, and rest aspects of the nervous system.

No other nerve has such a widespread impact. Help your patients or clients enjoy their lives by showing them how to manage this body control center.
