Hope you enjoy and find helpfull the chart of the vagus nerve on the foot. Vagus is yellow and laryngeal branches green and purple. Helpful for hiccups and swallowing, voice and other. In the 3rd published book of Eunice Ingham she states that at that area is where she begins ALL her treatments.
Wise woman!
On the ear, the area of the concha is innervated by the auricular branch of the vagus nerve, it should come as no surprise to us that this is exactly where the organs are in ear reflexology.
I will get back to the ear as I have more to share on this exciting subject!
On the feet in a orthopedic reflexology approach those who have trained will remember the two plantar nerves. These nerves influence all organs and thus indirectly affect the vagus nerve. Where the nerves travel are reflex zones of the organs.
Here is a recent interesting article that brings in breathing which I have found very effective when brought in the treatment.
Much success to everybody!
"I was surprised by the idea that it’s specifically the exhale that triggers the relaxation response, but Norcliffe-Kaufmann confirmed: “Vagal activity is highest, and heart rate lowest, when you’re exhaling.” She mentioned that the ideal, most calming way to breathe is six times a minute: five seconds in, five seconds out. She also noted that in the study that determined this rate, researchers found that this style of slow breathing is also what practitioners naturally lapse into during meditation with mantras, and during the Ave Maria prayer with rosaries. “Each time you do either the rosary prayer or a meditation mantra,” Norcliffe-Kaufmann said, “it naturally synchronizes your breathing at six times per minute.”
