Using CBD to Stimulate Your Vagus Nerve

The vagus or wandering nerve, the longest nerve in the body, controls the parasympathetic nervous system, linking your brain to many of the body’s vital organs.

It is responsible for maintaining vital bodily functions such as digestion, while also providing our relaxation response at times when we do not feel threatened.

This response is essential for repair and renewal, combating depression and inflammation and optimizing both brain and bodily health.

There are a number of ways to achieve vagus stimulation. Traditional methods include rest, gentle stretching, walking, listening to music, reading a book, or by meditation and slow deep breathing. A convenient, quick and effective method is by the application of CBD-enhanced essential oils to the depression directly behind your ear lobes, at a point where this nerve is closest to the surface.

Our Mind/Body Balance has been developed for this purpose. A unique blend of lime and clove bud essential oils with CBD (Cannabidiol) in an MCT coconut oil base, it comes in a convenient 1/3 oz roller bottle for ease of application, and can be used as needed several times daily.
