Secret weapon for Stress!

Did you know there’s a cranial nerve that carries vital sensory information throughout the rest of the body? It’s called the Vagus Nerve.

It controls many autonomic functions and reflex actions such as coughing, sneezing, and swallowing. Also known as the “gateway nerve,” it sets the stage for the rest of the healthy functions in your body. The Vagus Nerve communicates both motor and sensory functions to the organs and prevents inflammation in the body, according to Mental Floss. Also known as the longest cranial nerve, the Vagus Nerve sends messages to vital organs throughout the body like the gut, heart, and lungs.

Nicknamed “wanderer,” this nerve wanders throughout your body and sends fibers to your brain stem and messages to organs. The messages are sent from the brain, through the face, thorax, and abdomen.

As the longest of 12 cranial nerves, the Vagus Nerve carries approximately 75% of the cranial parasympathetic function.
