Remember, medical news over the last couple of years is often mentioned stimulation of the vagus nerve (vagus nerve)? Someone thus prevents migraine. A still older patients after surgery to stimulate the vagus preventing delirium. And used in epilepsy. Cardiologists are constantly thinking of cardiac arrhythmias associated with the vagus nerve.
This nerve affects many different organs - lung and intestines to the heart and brain.
Recently there was an interesting theory that can explain the alternative therapies. We are talking about meditation, yoga, and other practices that seemed to help, but somehow it is not always obvious way.
Alternativschiki believe that the ideal state of mind and body, we need a certain level of vagal tone. It may well be that many of the popular entertainment positively affect this tone. They also include meditation with deep breathing, singing or laughing immersion in cold water. Interesting species, though activity?
A little confused by the fact that the so-called vagal maneuvers and tests we have in medicine is associated not only with the vagus nerve, but also with the trigeminal, glossopharyngeal and other cranial nerves. But this, in my opinion, is not so important.
Personally, I like the theory itself terribly. When you get used every day to do hurt people, displacing the patella, or thrusting a needle, I want some... nice treatment. Something like ice cream for sore throat.
