The clinical practice aimed at increasing the activity and responsiveness of the Vagus nerve, the primary component of the parasympathetic nervous system, which is essential for downregulating stress responses and promoting restorative functions. High tone indicates superior stress adaptability.
Origin
This term focuses on enhancing the baseline activity (‘tone’) of the tenth cranial nerve (‘Vagus’), which heavily influences gut function, heart rate variability, and immune modulation. It is a key metric in autonomic nervous system assessment.
Mechanism
Optimization often involves techniques that stimulate afferent vagal pathways, such as specific respiratory patterns or controlled heart rate variability training. Improved vagal tone directly counters sympathetic dominance, leading to better digestion, reduced systemic inflammation, and improved resilience.
