IN THIS EPISODE:Neck as a BottleneckWe explore the notion of the neck as a bottleneck, looking at its role in bridging the connection between the brain and the body.Together we discuss how congestion in the neck can impact the flow of nutrients, oxygen, and the removal of toxins from the head down into the body affecting the gut-brain axis.Three Key Components for HealthWe discuss the vital components related to neck health: the vagus nerve, lymphatic system, and fascia. The vagus nerve's role in triggering digestion, detoxification, and immune response is highlighted, along with the significance of lymphatic drainage and the impact of fascia constriction on affecting the efficiency of detoxification.Holistic Approach Using Essential OilsA holistic approach is recommended for addressing neck congestion, with a specific emphasis on using essential oils. Jodi Cohen also introduces a unique blend called "Fascia Release," advocating for the topical application of essential oils to promote lymph drainage, address vagus nerve issues, and alleviate fascia constriction.
