Want to avoid the harsh chemicals found in the typical blue conductive gel? Here’s a simple, natural DIY recipe you can make at home for a clean, effective alternative! Aloe + Glycerin + Baking Soda + (Xanthan Gum if needed) = Perfect Clean Ultrasound Gel! - Aloe vera is naturally conductive and skin-healing. - Glycerin improves conductivity and keeps it from drying out during the session. - Xanthan gum adds body if you want a thicker texture, similar to commercial gels. Ingredients: - 1 cup (240 mL) pure aloe vera gel (organic if possible) - 2 tablespoons (30 mL) vegetable glycerin - 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for thickening) - 1/8 teaspoon baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) — enhances conductivity - 2–4 drops grapefruit seed extract (optional, natural preservative) Instructions: 1. Prepare: Sterilize a glass bowl and whisk/spoon. Make sure your workspace is clean. 2. Mix Base Ingredients: Pour 1 cup aloe vera gel into the bowl. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable glycerin. Stir gently until fully combined. 3. Supercharge Conductivity: Sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon baking soda into the mix. Stir thoroughly. Baking soda slightly alkalizes and improves electrical conductivity. 4. Thicken (Optional): For thicker gel, add a tiny pinch (1/8 teaspoon) of xanthan gum while stirring briskly. 5. Preserve (Optional): Add 2–4 drops of grapefruit seed extract to extend shelf life. Pour into a clean, airtight container. - Without preservative: Store in the fridge, lasts 5–7 days. - With preservative: Can last 2–3 weeks refrigerated. - Keep refrigerated.

Tinnitus: a relentless phantom sound impacting millions. The source? Disrupted neuroplasticity in auditory pathways. A promising solution: targeted vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS). tVNS paired with pure sine wave tones, calibrated to individual tinnitus frequencies. Vagus nerve stimulation activates anti-inflammatory pathways. Norepinephrine and acetylcholine flood the brain, amplifying synaptic plasticity. Precise VNS pulses during tone exposure create Hebbian-like strengthening. This reprograms sensory maps, similar to phantom limb pain therapies. Early results: reduced ringing intensity and improved focus. A scalable, non-invasive path to relief.

Ultra sound and the peroneal nerve, outside of calf muscle. Anyone doing this?

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) offers insights into well-being. HRV is an indicator reflecting vagus nerve health. Changes in HRV may signal underlying issues. Consistent monitoring is key. Think of it as your vagus nerve's mixtape; a wellness vital sign. Especially helpful if you are doing any type of Ultrasound or Electrical stimulation of your Vagus Nerve - it's cool to see HRV go up over the timespan you're using one of those wellness tools. :D Is it chill beats or chaotic noise? A jumpy HRV score? Might be a shout for help. Listen closely, friends! https://www.womenshealthmag.com/uk/fitness/fat-loss/a26096070/heart-rate-variability/

Seed oils: silent saboteurs of gut-brain health? Excessive omega-6s from poor oils trigger GI inflammation. Inflammation sensitizes vagal afferents, disrupting gut-brain signals. Bloating, nausea, dysmotility: signs of vagal impairment. Junk food hijacks vagal reward, fueling cravings, worsening dysautonomia. Vagus nerve health is vital for digestion, immunity, mood. Protect vagal tone; choose quality fats, limit processed foods.
