I just saw an Instagram reel of a "therapist" dipping her head into icy water to "reset the #vagus nerve".
THIS IS NOT A THING!
The vagus nerve, which is actually the longest #cranial nerve in our body, can be artificially stimulated to help break irregular heart rhythm.

Anyone do research on the vagus nerve and current treatments involving stimulation? #vagusnerve #vagus

Cutting #Brain-gut #Vagus Nerve Lessens Loss of #Myelin in #MS #Mice
Severing the lower part of the vagus nerve that connects the brain and gut led to less myelin loss in a mouse model used to study MS. https://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.com/news-posts/2022/12/22/cutting-brain-gut-vagus-nerve-lessens-myelin-loss-ms-mice/

Normalcy #bias meets the vagus nerve? - Just stumbled over the interesting article, ‚How Normalcy Bias Will Define Our Future‘: „About half of people are almost destined to shut down during an emergency. Even if they can function, they’ll spend precious time gossiping with each other …“ And i wonder how this might be connected to Porges’ #polyvagaltheory #vagus https://jessicawildfire.substack.com/p/its-not-cool-to-overreact-how-normalcy?utm_campaign=auto_share

All 58 of their #LongCovid patients had chronic #epipharyngitis with complaints of fatigue, headache, or attention disorder. 90% were moderate or severe. Epipharyngeal abrasive therapy (EAT) alleviated symptoms, even when it didn't reduce inflammation. "The mechanisms of EAT are reported to be the anti-inflammatory effect of ZnCl2, the blood-letting effect, and #vagus nerve stimulation." This treatment may be an easy option to relieve some chronic #SarsCoV2 symptoms.
