Vagus Nerve: Can Ayurveda Help with Anxiety and Digestion Issues? - #14823
For a while now, I’ve been experiencing weird symptoms that seem unrelated—heart palpitations, digestive problems, random dizziness, and anxiety that comes out of nowhere. I recently came across information about the vagus nerve, and now I’m wondering if this is the root cause of everything. I read that the vagus nerve controls digestion, heart rate, and even stress response. Lately, I’ve been getting bloated after almost every meal, and I feel like my stomach doesn’t empty properly. At the same time, my heart sometimes races randomly, especially after eating. Could this all be connected to a weak vagus nerve? I want to try Ayurveda to strengthen my vagus nerve naturally. Are there specific herbs, breathing techniques, or yoga poses that help activate the vagus nerve? Also, does Ayurveda recommend dietary changes for improving vagus nerve function? If anyone has worked on healing their vagus nerve with Ayurveda, what worked best for you? How long did it take to notice improvements? And are there specific habits that make vagus nerve issues worse?
