Because she wants to find all the ways to stimulate it. Benefits of stimulating your vagus nerve: - Helps with depression.- Regulate your emotions.- Reduce blood pressure.- Lower your heart rate.- Reduce inflammation.- Help with headaches. Cryotherapy is a way to stimulate the vagus nerve, reducing anxiety and fatigue.
