The Vegas Nerve

A cold pack on the upper torso helps calm you down by activating the vagus nerve and destresses the body.

Vagus Nerve = aka the tenth cranial nerve, carries sensory fibers to interface with the parasympathetic nervous system that controls the heart, lungs, and digestive tract; Helps the immune system and inflamation response to disease and counterbalances the fight or flight response to trigger a relaxation response in the body.
