Vagal Tone Improvement

Meaning

Vagal tone improvement refers to the clinical strategy of enhancing the activity and responsiveness of the vagus nerve, the primary nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to a stronger physiological capacity for self-regulation and stress recovery. This is a critical metric for hormonal health because a high vagal tone is associated with reduced chronic inflammation, better heart rate variability, and a more controlled, transient cortisol response to stressors. It is a direct measure of nervous system resilience.
