    About this ebook

    Have you never heard about the Polyvagal theory?

     

    The Polyvagal Theory is a theory that posits that the Vagus Nerve, or tenth cranial nerve, is interconnected with and sensitive to influences that flow from the body toward the brain.

     

    Vagus Nerve partially controls our heart and other internal organs as well, insulin signaling, emotions like orgasms and other physical functions like the autonomic nervous system.

    All those functions are obviously controlled by the brain, and that's the key of Polyvagal Theory: the Vagus Nerve can be stimulated allowing stress relief, reduce inflammation, anxiety and chronic illness.

    According to the theory and its increasing evidence base, the autonomic nervous system interconnection with and sensitive to influences that flow from the brain, is called afferent influences.

     

    Those influences are usually improved thanks to exercises, massages, meditation and yoga that are specifically applied for Dorsal Vagal Complex (DVC) or Ventral Vagal Complex (VVC).

     

    As you can see,  Polyvagal theory and Vagus Nerve are two topics as complex as important for our body's health.

    Because of that, it is really important to get as much information as you can before to start to work on your body's health with exercises or other treatments.

     

    You can find an excellent and clear guide in "The Polyvagal Theory. The Complete Guide to Learn how the Autonomic Nervous System Works and how to Harness the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve" by Peter Reid.

     

    • By the time you will read the book you'll learn:
    • What Polyvagal theory, Dorsal Vagal Complex (DVC), Ventral Vagal Complex (VVC) and vagal tone are
    • The differences between the Sympathetic Nervous System and the Parasympathetic Nervous System
