Parasympathetic Dominance Reinforcement

Meaning

Parasympathetic Dominance Reinforcement is the clinical strategy of employing specific, repeated interventions to enhance the activity and influence of the parasympathetic branch of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), promoting a state of “rest and digest” over the sympathetic “fight or flight” response. The objective is to increase vagal tone, thereby improving the body’s capacity for recovery, digestion, detoxification, and immune regulation. Reinforcing this dominance is a fundamental intervention for mitigating the physiological toll of chronic stress and restoring a state of robust homeostatic balance.
