Do you want to discover more about the functions of the vagus nerve and the connection with anxiety, depression, trauma and autism by learning medical treatments, self help techniques and exercises to reactivate its natural functions? If yes, then keep reading...The Vagus Nerve is the tenth of the twelve pairs of cranial nerves and is the longest in the body. The word vagus means "vagabond" in Latin, and perfectly illustrates the path of this nerve that extends through various organs...Now you're wondering: "What is the connection between the vagus nerve and anxiety and depression?"The nervous system is composed of two "opposites" systems that constantly send information to the brain: the sympathetic nervous system accelerates and activates us, while the parasympathetic nervous system helps us to relax and reduce our speed.The vagus nerve controls the parasympathetic system and when we are subjected to stressful situations the sympathetic nervous system is activated. If the tension persists and we are not able to deactivate the physiological response that this triggers, the problems will soon appear...The brain responds to stress and anxiety by increasing the production of hormones (CRF) that travel from the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland where they induce the release of another hormone (ACTH), which in turn travels through the bloodstream to the adrenal glands to stimulate the production of cortisol and adrenaline, that act as suppressors of the immune system and precursors of inflammation, which is why when we feel stressed and anxious we get sicker and we can end up suffering from depression, a disorder that has been linked to an inflammatory response of the brain.Chronic stress and anxiety cause an increase in glutamate in the brain, a neurotransmitter that, when produced in excess, causes migraine headaches, depression and anxiety...In addition, a high level of cortisol reduces the volume of the hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for the formation of new memories.The involvement of the vagus nerve will lead to symptoms such as dizziness, gastrointestinal problems, arrhythmias, difficulty in breathing frequency and disproportionate emotional responses. In fact, since the vagus nerve is unable to activate the relaxation signal, the sympathetic nervous system remains active, this will cause the person to respond impulsively and suffer from anxiety.Have you ever considered this possibility?In this book you will find more useful information on the functioning of the vagus nerve, what connects it to other traumas and pathologies and especially techniques and practical exercises to reactivate its natural functions!So don't waste any more time and CLICK "BUY NOW"!!!!!

The new thriller from the highly acclaimed author of RED WINTER and THE CHILD THIEF.

Featuring over 50 world maps, this title offers an analysis of the political, social, economic and ecological nightmares that keep us awake at night.

This book offers critical engagements with four objects from the nineteenth century: The ruins of the Crystal Palace in Sydenham and the dinosaurs that remain, the Albert Memorial in Kensington Gardens, Oxford's Pitt Rivers Museum and the short novel by H.G. Wells The Time Machine. These provide very different forms of encounter, but are bound by the shadow of the Great Exhibition of 1851.This immense spectacle helped forge our understanding of display, surveillance and commodity. This legacy can be detected in the development of the modern museum and gallery as well as the shaping of spaces and structures of trade, commerce and political display, denying any possibility of conceptually separating these sites. Linked by a cumulative narrative that binds the mid nineteenth century to the early twenty-first, these four objects are identified as formative traces of the past within the present. They provide models for critical thought and suggest answers to the problematic conditions that they present as ideologically specific relics from a previous age.
