The vagal nerve is one of 12 pairs of cranial nerves and belongs to the group of parasympathetic nerves. It is the main regulatory nerve for many internal organs and systems of the body, such as digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular and others.
The vagal nerve originates in the medulla oblongata and then passes through the skull, neck and chest to reach various organs and tissues of the body. It has many functions in the body, including regulating heart rate, secreting digestive enzymes and hormones, and controlling respiration and other body functions.
With pathologies of the nervous system or other diseases that affect the function of the vagal nerve, various symptoms may occur, such as disturbances in heart rhythm and breathing, digestive disorders and other disorders.
In general, the vagal nerve plays an important role in the regulation of many body functions and its pathologies can lead to serious diseases and system disorders. Therefore, it is important to understand its functions and pathology for the prevention and treatment of diseases of the nervous system.
Vagal (vagalis) is the medical term used to describe the vagus nerve (anat. n. vagus).
Vagus Nerve (Vagus) The vagus nerve serves as an important component of the parasympathetic nervous system and carries signals from various internal organs and systems to the central nervous system. At the same time, it also controls the contraction of muscles in the pharynx, esophagus, stomach and intestines, diaphragm, lower body muscles and breathing. To avoid contamination when deducing information about the vagal nerve, in the medical dictionary the vagal nerve is usually called ***vagal (vagalis).***
The vagal system carries both positive (+) and negative (-) influences on the body. It affects the human digestion and respiratory system. However, the use of vagus tissue to treat disease is becoming increasingly common in the world of medical treatment.
If you have pain in your neck, shoulders, stomach, or chest, you are likely suffering from pain in the vagal system.
Typical problems with this system include ***the following pathologies: asthenic syndrome, vegetative-vascular dystonia, sleep apnea syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux disease, neuralgia and gastritis.*** In addition, this nerve affects the contraction of the heart muscles and smooth muscle cells of the lungs, which can lead to the development of shortness of breath. Diseases with pathological changes in the vagus nerves often occur due to stress, emotional overload, chronic diseases and nicotine use. Some natural remedies are used in treatment, for example, nettle leaves, hemlock, tincture of large-leaved rue and other herbs. The therapy is carried out with the help of medical consultations from a doctor within the framework of classical medicine. And the use of vagal remedies is the oldest and simplest way to treat certain areas of disease naturally.
