Vagus Nerve Stimulation

Meaning

Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) involves the targeted activation of the tenth cranial nerve, the primary component of the parasympathetic nervous system, often achieved through electrical impulses or specific behavioral techniques. In hormonal wellness, VNS is employed to shift the autonomic balance away from chronic sympathetic dominance, thereby mitigating HPA axis hyperactivity. This modulation supports systemic rest and digest functions.
