The vagus nerves are the two longest nerves in your body, connecting important organs such as the brain, heart, lungs, and gut. They are important for managing the parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) system which is responsible for digestive function, heart health, and mental health. An increase in vagal tone, its activity, through stimulation can provide benefits in these areas. Stimulation of the vagus nerves can also prevent and reduce the pain associated with cluster headaches and migraines.
