Partager
🧬What is the Vagus Nerve?
The vagus nerve is like your body’s internal chill switch. It runs from your brain to your gut, heart, and lungs—playing a major role in regulating stress, digestion, and heart rate. Activating it can flip your nervous system from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest. No wonder TikTok is obsessed.
📲Why Is It Trending?
Millions of views later, TikTokers are showing off hacks like cold plunges, humming, or deep breathing to “stimulate the vagus nerve.” Surprisingly? Science actually backs many of these methods—especially the low-tech, free ones.
🧪What Actually Works Here’s what research says can effectively stimulate your vagus nerve:
- Deep diaphragmatic breathing
- Humming or chanting
- Neck massages
-
Cold exposure (like splashing cold water on your face)
These methods activate the parasympathetic nervous system—helping reduce anxiety, improve digestion, and stabilize mood.
✨Try This
Box breathing: Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4. Repeat 4 times. It’s simple, quick, and vagus-nerve approved.
