Acupuncture, Nerve Stimulation, and the Vagus Nerve Reset

Trauma is one of the main contributing factors to many mental and physical health issues, but recent advancements in technology have given us a new way to tackle trauma – vagus nerve reset. 

The vagus nerve is our body's longest cranial nerve and it plays a critical role in developing and maintaining our state of well-being.

The vagus nerve is the head of the parasympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system works to maintain bodily functions like digestion, heart rate, and respiration at restful levels. Without the vagus nerve, stimulation of these functions would be impaired, which could cause an array of physical and psychological issues. It is sometimes termed the "wandering nerve" because it reaches most organs of the body beyond just the brain. 

In addition to its crucial role in parasympathetic activity, it has possible implications for conditions like insomnia, anxiety, and even depression; current research on the therapeutic potential of stimulating the vagus nerve is ongoing.

By stimulating the vagus nerve with a tool such as an ultrasonic device, acupuncture, or through yoga techniques, we can move out of trauma-related states and into greater ease.

Vagus nerve reset helps us realize greater balance and harmony within our bodies as trauma gets mitigated or resolved.

Vagus nerve acupuncture is a Chinese traditional medicine practice based on the manipulation of the body's energy flow. This type of acupuncture treatment impacts the entire body and is beneficial for calming emotions, reducing stress, and promoting physical healing. 

Acupuncture needles are inserted into predetermined points in order to stimulate electrical activity, which causes increased blood flow and assists in releasing key hormones and neurotransmitters. 

Research has found that vagus nerve stimulation is a powerful tool for creating positive physical, mental and emotional changes. Vagus nerve reset helps us realize greater balance and harmony within our bodies as trauma gets mitigated or resolved.

EMDR can also be a powerful way to address trauma and heal from trauma symptoms.
