Do you struggle with night time anxiety? Here’s how ‘vagus nerve icing’ could help you to calm down before bed.
As Simmons goes on to highlight, the vagus nerve is, and plays an important role in the parasympathetic nervous system – the system responsible for the body’s ‘rest and digest’ or calm state.
In this way, Simmons claims, applying cold to your vagus nerve “stimulates it” and helps it to function better, calming you down and reducing feelings of anxiety.Anxiety: feeling stressed and on edge? Here’s how getting to know your vagus nerve could help, but if you want to save yourself the discomfort, just put an ice pack on the center of your chest,” she says.
Simmons continues: “I swear, when I found this, an hour and a half of trying to calm myself down to go back to sleep when I woke up at 4am turned into 15 minutes. “I didn’t even have an ice pack at the time – I would just go to the freezer get a pack of frozen peas, put it between my boobs I’d be back out in no time. It changed my life – I want everybody to know about this magic.”Having a cold shower is another way to stimulate your vagus nerve.
To find out more about whether vagus nerve icing is an effective tool for easing anxiety, we spoke to Anne-Sophie Fluri, a neuroscientist and head of mindfulness at the wellness education platformAccording to Fluri, using an ice pack to cool your vagus nerve is just one way to improve your vagal ‘tone’, which allows your body to “rebound and relax” faster after a stressful event or situation.
