Vagus Nerve: The Body’s Thread of Inner Calm and Connection

The vagus nerve is one of the most extraordinary structures within the human body. Stretching from the brainstem all the way down into the chest and abdomen, it acts like a living communication cable connecting the brain with the organs that keep you alive. It influences your breath, your heart rhythm, your digestion, and even how safe or relaxed you feel in your own skin. In Natural Hygiene, we often speak of the innate intelligence of the body, and the vagus nerve is one of the clearest examples of how this intelligence guides healing and restoration.

Although most people think healing begins with food alone, the state of your nervous system plays a far greater role. When the vagus nerve is overloaded, compressed, or constantly stimulated by emotional stress, the body shifts into a survival mode that slows digestion, tightens the chest, disturbs sleep, and makes detoxification far more difficult. When the vagus nerve is supported, the body naturally shifts back into ease, circulation improves, the gut softens, and cellular healing becomes much more efficient.

What the Vagus Nerve Actually Does

The vagus nerve is the main pathway of the parasympathetic nervous system, often called the “rest and restore” branch. It slows the heart rate after stress, signals the stomach to digest, assists the liver and pancreas, and helps the lungs breathe in a steady rhythm. It also detects what is happening in the organs and sends 80 percent of its information back up into the brain. This means your gut, breath, and internal environment directly influence your mood and clarity of mind.

Because the vagus nerve branches into the throat, lungs, diaphragm, heart, stomach, liver, pancreas, and intestines, any irritation within these areas can affect the whole system. Emotional strain tightens the throat and diaphragm. Poor digestion creates pressure and tension in the abdomen. Inflammation in the chest or gut irritates the nerve as it travels through these regions. This is why people often experience anxiety alongside digestive issues or feel a heavy chest during times of emotional overwhelm. It is one interconnected pathway.

The Vagus Nerve and Natural Healing

From a Natural Hygiene viewpoint, the vagus nerve must be free from irritation for the body to detoxify properly. When the nervous system is strained, the body diverts energy toward coping with stress rather than carrying out the essential work of cleansing and repairing tissues. A calm vagus nerve supports deeper rest, steadier breathing, and better circulation, all of which allow the body to focus on organic repair.

Symptoms of vagus nerve strain can include a tight throat, shallow breathing, irregular heartbeat sensations, digestive sluggishness, nausea, bloating, difficulty swallowing, tension around the diaphragm, or a general feeling of internal agitation. These do not mean something is “wrong” with the nerve itself; they simply indicate that the system is congested or overstimulated.

The body is always trying to restore balance. When you remove internal and external irritants, the vagus nerve settles naturally, and the digestive organs are able to resume their harmonious rhythm.

Daily Habits That Support Vagal Calm

While the body heals itself when given the conditions to do so, a few simple behaviours create an internal environment where the vagus nerve can relax:

• Eat clean, simple meals that are easy to digest.

Overloading the stomach places mechanical stress on the vagus nerve. Light, natural foods allow digestion to flow without pressure.

• Breathe deeply and slowly.

When the diaphragm moves freely, it massages the vagus nerve and signals safety to the entire system.

• Spend time in nature

A calm environment reduces stimulation and allows the nerve to reset its rhythm.

• Allow emotional expression.

The throat, chest, and diaphragm often hold unspoken tension. Releasing stored emotions brings relief to the entire pathway of the nerve.

• Rest before you are exhausted.

True rest is one of the strongest activators of vagal healing.

Why This Matters

A calm vagus nerve is not simply about feeling relaxed. It is the foundation of digestion, elimination, clarity, emotional balance, and healing. When the body slips into a parasympathetic state, it can finally do the work it is designed to do. This is why people often notice better digestion, steadier moods, deeper sleep, and more consistent energy once they begin living in ways that support vagal balance.

The vagus nerve is a reminder that the body is not mechanical. It is a living, intelligent system. Nurture that intelligence, and you give your whole body the chance to thrive.

Tissue salts 🙌

Quick Reference Guide - The 12 Most Essential Minerals of The Body

⭐ Calcium fluoride (Calc fluor) – The Elasticity Salt.
Acts as a toning agent in the body. Gives elasticity to tissues, tightens what has stretched (ie. sprains, prolapse) but also hardens outer shells (like bones and teeth). Also has the ability to soften what has hardened (calluses, calcifications).
⭐Calcium phosphate (Calc phos) – The Bone Salt.
Supports growth, teeth, bone health and strength (bone is 57% this mineral). Raises overall vitality and speeds healing. All cells require this mineral, so vital for new cell production (especially, but not only red and white blood cells). A remedy for anaemia when iron fails to help.
⭐Iron phosphate (Ferr phos) – First-Aid Salt.
Allows red blood cells to carry oxygen. Vital for the immune response, fighting infections and to reduce inflammation. Aids healing of cuts and grazes. Anywhere we have heat and redness in the body.
⭐Potassium chloride (Kali mur) – The Gland Salt.
Supports lymphatic drainage (swollen lymph nodes are a sure sign of deficiency), congestion relief, and immune function. Pair with Iron at the first signs of colds and flus. Required whenever we see a white coated tongue.
⭐Potassium phosphate (Kali phos) – The Mind Salt.
A nervous system tonic for stress, fatigue, emotional upset and focus. Vital for forming the grey matter of the brain. Depleted by stress, required when learning. Very important mineral for students.
⭐Potassium sulphate (Kali sulph) – The Skin Salt.
Our first point of call for skin rashes. Aids in getting oxygen into the cells, vital for detoxification, skin healing, and respiratory health.
⭐Magnesium phosphate (Mag phos) – The Salt for Pain and Cramps.
Supports muscle relaxation, reduces cramps (calf, menstrual etc), aids digestion, promotes healthy nerve function and prevents nerve pain (stabbing shooting pains). Activates over 300 enzymes in the body so increases cellular metabolism.
⭐Sodium chloride (Nat mur) – The Fluid Balance Salt.
Enables osmosis via the cell, so promotes hydration, increases cellular uptake of other minerals and nutrients. Aids digestion ( a vital component of stomach acid) and activates the senses of taste and smell. Helpful for dry skin, dripping nose or other signs of fluid imbalance.
⭐Sodium phosphate (Nat phos) – The Acid Balance Salt.
So many diseases have their roots in an acid environment. Acids are broken down via this mineral. Helpful for indigestion, reflux, helping the fat metabolism and combating cravings for sugar.
⭐Sodium sulphate (Nat sulph) – The Cleansing Salt.
Eliminates fluid from the cell, promoting deep cleansing. Supports liver, gall and intestinal function. Very important mineral for detoxification (works even better when paired with #6 Kali sulph).
⭐ Silicea (Silica) – The Surgeon Salt.
Strengthens skin, hair, nails, bones and promotes healing of infections. Silica retains its ‘sharpness’ even at a molecular scale, allowing the body to use it to cut passage for debris or pus to escape the body. Dab silica on tough pimples, boils or infected splinters and see a head form and easy discharge come about swiftly and with minimal pains.
⭐Calcium sulphate (Calc sulph) – Salt of Deep Cleansing.
Aids in skin healing, wound repair, and detoxification. This salt works in opposition to silicas function - in that it works to dissolve infectious complaints that have gone on too long. Contained in the liver and gallbladder, this salt has a detoxifying effect on connective tissue and the blood.

These are the biochemic minerals / cell-salts or tissue salts as described by Dr Schuessler.

The advanced minerals number 13-26 and are trace elements found in the body in much smaller amounts 👌

THE WATER IN YOUR BODY IS NOT H₂O. IT IS H₃O₂. AND THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING.

May you hear this clearly.

You have been lied to about water. (Yep we have)

Not just the fluoride-filled tap water, or the overpriced stuff in plastic bottles, but about the water inside your body. The water in your cells, your blood, your fascia, your organs. The water you are made of.

They told you it is H₂O. That is what we all learned in school. That your body is seventy percent water and that water is just a neutral substance that transports things around the body.

But that is not the full story. Not even close.

Inside your body, water does not exist in a basic liquid state. It forms a structured phase. A living, intelligent, electrically charged form known as H₃O₂. This is called exclusion zone water, or EZ water, and it behaves completely differently from standard liquid water.

Professor Gerald Pollack, a bioengineer and scientist at the University of Washington, proved this in his groundbreaking research. He discovered that water next to hydrophilic (water-loving) surfaces, such as the lining of your blood vessels and cells, organizes itself into a crystalline structure. It becomes thicker, more viscous, negatively charged, and holds energy.

This water builds charge separation. It acts as a battery. It stores energy from sunlight, infrared heat, and vibration. It drives flow. It powers biological processes. It exists in plants, animals, and most importantly, in you.

This discovery rewrites the rules of biology.

Pollack’s experiments showed that EZ water expands in response to infrared light and that it generates measurable electrical voltage. It can move fluids without a pump. He published this work in peer-reviewed journals, documented it with real experiments, and even wrote a full book on it called The Fourth Phase of Water.

None of this is speculation. It is scientific fact. But it has been ignored.

Why?

Because if people understood how important structured water is, they would realize how easy it is to heal without chemicals, injections, or prescriptions.



H₃O₂ IS WHAT MAKES LIFE POSSIBLE

Your blood does not move because your heart is pumping like an engine. Your cells do not function because of pressure gradients and chemical reactions alone. What drives flow, energy, and communication in the body is the structured water in your tissues.

This water forms layers of charge that move things where they need to go. That is how blood flows in early embryos before the heart has even formed. That is how fascia conducts vibration and light. That is how cells communicate instantly, not just chemically, but through electrical fields.

Rudolf Steiner, more than a hundred years ago, said that the heart was not a pump but a regulating valve within a system that was already in motion. Gerald Pollack provided the experimental proof that supports this. Viktor Schauberger studied water in its natural state and said it was the key to understanding life itself.

And yet, no one teaches this. Not in medical school. Not in mainstream science. Not in your GP’s office. Because structured water cannot be bottled, patented, or turned into a subscription service.



HOW TO BUILD STRUCTURED WATER IN YOUR BODY

You do not get structured water from the tap. That is dead water. Chemically treated, energetically flattened, and often full of toxins.

You build structured water in your body through real life-force exposure.

You need sunlight. Infrared light from the sun is one of the strongest stimulators of EZ water formation. That is why you feel more energized after sunbathing or walking in natural light. It literally recharges you.

You need movement and breath. Fascia and muscles help move fluids through your body. Breath expands the diaphragm, increases flow, and stimulates lymphatic movement. All of this enhances structure and charge.

You need electrolytes and minerals. Spring water, Celtic Sea salt, and Shilajit all contribute to better hydration and conductivity. Real hydration is not about drinking more water; it is about making that water usable at the cellular level.

You need raw fruits and vegetables. Plants already contain structured water. That is why you feel instantly refreshed after eating melon, cucumber, or freshly squeezed juice. Their water is already energized.

You also need grounding. Walking barefoot connects you to the Earth's natural electrical field. This helps stabilize charge inside your body and supports the structure of internal water.

And finally, you need clean energy. Thoughts, music, frequencies, and intention all matter. Water responds to vibration. Masaru Emoto showed this clearly water can hold memory and react to emotion and sound.



THE SYSTEM KEPT YOU DEHYDRATED ON PURPOSE

They told you to fear the sun.

They told you water is just water.

They fed you dead water in plastic, full of xenoestrogens and BPA.

They filled your home with Wi-Fi and blue light that scrambles biological signaling.

They made you believe that being tired, dry, inflamed, and foggy is normal.

It is not.

You are not designed to run on chemicals, sugar, or caffeine. You are designed to run on light, minerals, breath, and energy. And the bridge that connects all of that is structured water.



YOU ARE NOT MADE OF LIQUID. YOU ARE MADE OF LIGHT-CHARGED, LIVING WATER

You are not a machine. You are not just meat and bones and blood. You are a living battery. A fluid, vibrating, self-charging being powered by sunlight, breath, and movement.

The next time you are low on energy, do not ask what supplement you need. Ask how charged your water is.

Sunlight is medicine.

Movement is energy.

Fruits are hydrated.

Earthing is alignment.

Breath is electricity.

Your body already knows how to heal.

You just need to give it the conditions it was designed for.

Oh my oh my.
The dental industry is one to learn about.

Facial Nerve (Cranial Nerve VII)

The facial nerve is the motor nerve of facial expression, carrying additional taste fibers (anterior 2/3 tongue via chorda tympani) and parasympathetic fibers to salivary and lacrimal glands.

After exiting the stylomastoid foramen, it enters the parotid gland, where it divides into five terminal branches that radiate across the face like a fan.
These are remembered by the mnemonic “To Zanzibar By Motor Car” — Temporal, Zygomatic, Buccal, Mandibular, and Cervical.

Branches and functional areas:

🔷Temporal branch:
Innervates frontalis and orbicularis oculi (upper part). Controls eyebrow elevation and forehead wrinkling.

🔷Zygomatic branch:
Supplies orbicularis oculi (lower fibers). Responsible for eyelid closure — important in protecting the cornea.

🔷Buccal branch:
Innervates buccinator, orbicularis oris, and muscles around the nose and upper lip. Enables smiling, blowing, and whistling.

🔷Mandibular branch:
Controls depressor anguli oris and mentalis. Moves the lower lip downward.

🔷Cervical branch:
Supplies the platysma. Assists in tightening skin over the neck.

Auto immune, gut health, dental health, chronic fatigue, joint pain all connected to what we eat.

For people with celiac disease, even a tiny bite of bread or pasta can cause a world of trouble. This lifelong autoimmune disorder kicks off when gluten — the protein found in wheat, barley, and rye — hits the intestines. It leads to painful bloating, diarrhea, and other digestive issues, and over time can damage the small intestine’s villi, tiny hair-like structures that help absorb nutrients. Left untreated, celiac can also raise the risk of serious problems like colorectal cancer, heart disease, anemia, and even nerve issues.
Until now, scientists weren’t exactly sure where in the gut this whole messy process really began. But new research has finally pinpointed how it starts. An international team led by researchers from McMaster University in Canada found that the cells lining the gut aren’t just innocent bystanders getting caught in the crossfire. These cells actually help kick off the immune reaction by grabbing bits of gluten — sometimes altered by special enzymes and gut bacteria — and waving them around for the immune system to see. This triggers T cells to attack, mistaking gluten for a dangerous invader.
The team used mice with human genes tied to celiac disease and grew tiny models of intestines to watch exactly how this reaction happened. Knowing these gut cells play such an active role gives scientists new targets for drugs that might stop celiac disease before it spirals out of control.
This breakthrough study was done by researchers from McMaster University and global partners.
