Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) and Vagus Nerve Dysregulation can make life very uncomfortable- even downright miserable! Brain Integration Technique can help calm and balance the nervous system to reduce symptoms of ANS Dysregulation and Vagus Nerve Dysregulation.

Listed below is a brief overview of a variety of techniques that are believed to stimulate the vagus nerve. Please note that the effectiveness of vagus nerve exercises may vary among individuals and specific conditions.

There are many alternative treatment options for Vagus Nerve Dysfunction, including Brain Integration Technique.  BIT can decrease stress on the entire nervous system, including the Vagus Nerve.

Vagus nerve dysfunction can be seen in medical diagnosis such as: Chronic pain, chronic anxiety, fibromyalgia, POTS, Lyme’s disease, Long COVID, chronic fatigue syndrome, adrenal burnout, gastroparesis, small intestine bacterial overgrowth, and ADHD. Symptoms of vagus nerve dysfunction are listed in the chart above.

This article highlights the very basic anatomy and function of the vagus nerve. The next three articles in this series will discuss what can happen when the vagus nerve is no longer functioning properly, alternative medicine treatment options, how Brain Integration can help, and simple activities that you can do at home to balance out vagus nerve function.

Brain Integration is a safe drug-free, non-invasive alternative medicine technique that can improve communication within the brain to enhance brain function by using principles of neurophysiology, specialized kinesiology, and acupressure points. The newly streamlined connections reduce nervous system stress, which helps to take us out of “fight or flight” mode.

The ESR technique targets specific reflex points on the forehead known as the “neurovascular points.” According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, these points are connected to the vascular system and the brain. Gentle stimulation of these points increases blood flow to the prefrontal cortex, the brain’s center for rational thinking and emotional regulation.
