Healing with the Vagus Nerve from Head to Toe

The Vagus Nerve1 also called the 10

th Cranial Nerve, is the longest and most complex of

the cranial nerves running from the brain through the face and thorax to the abdomen.

The branches of the Vagus Nerve affect the jaw area, lower neck, upper thorax and voice

box. There are also cardiac, esophageal, and pulmonary branches. In the abdomen, the

Vagus innervates the greater part of the digestive tract and other abdominal viscera. Its

pharyngeal and laryngeal branches transmit motor impulses to the pharynx and larynx

while its cardiac branches act to slow the rate of the heartbeat. Its bronchial branch acts

to constrict the bronchi; and its esophageal branches control involuntary muscle in the

esophagus, stomach, gallbladder pancreas, and small intestine, stimulating peristalsis and

gastrointestinal sections. You can easily see that the Vagus Nerve has the most extensive

distribution of cranial nerves. This is why we sit with this intelligent network offering

love, healing and gratitude. 1Reference: Wikipedia.org
