Shifting the CNS (Central Nervous System) from Sympathetic to Parasympathetic Mode
To help the body move from sympathetic mode to parasympathetic mode, HealingIMT uses the Sensate. The Sensate stimulates your vagus nerve, cranial nerve 10. This cranial nerve is the communication road between the body’s main organs, often called the gut-brain superhighway.
The vagus nerve controls how your body reacts to stress, so toning this important nerve can improve your digestion, heart health, and breathing rate.
The vagus nerve regulates sympathetic and parasympathetic responses. The sympathetic nervous system drives the "fight or flight" response in stressful situations, while the parasympathetic nervous system manages our “rest and digest” state.
