Wondering what you can do outside of immunosuppressants and surgery for your autoimmune condition?

The vagus nerve is a nerve that originates in the lower part of the brain stem. It innervates many areas of the body including the abdominal cavity and a portion of the autonomic nervous system. It plays a large role in controlling heart rate, acid secretion in the stomach, spleen innervation, and enzyme secretion. When this nerve is activated it releases acetylcholine, which will tell immune system cells to deactivate. This will reduce total body immune activation and inflammation. A study showed that if someone with an autoimmune condition is able to activate this nerve, it can get rid of their symptoms especially those with lupus, psoriasis, and rheumatoid arthritis. In our office, we know that there are ways to activate this nerve without invasive surgery. How does this nerve become weak in the first place? Largely due to stress.
