Overview of Methods of Ultrasound Stimulation of Vital Vagus Centers
Hell all ! Whew! the group is expanding faster than I envisioned ! I want to provide a "Full Scope" view of what you *can* do with the Vagus Nerve Stimulation Tech we have available (Once you get to LVL 2) but - which, if you read this post, will be able to see right here on the wall. 1) Vagus Nerve Cervical Stimulation with Ultrasound: You will be placing the Ultrasound on the left side of the neck - 2-5 Mins is good - Start Low and Work Way Up - Shouldn't Feel Anything from Ultrasound Itself - but effects can be very calming if used before bed, assisting in Sleep, and improving HRV. 2) Spleen Stimulation with Ultrasound: A relatively difficult spot to stimulate, get help if possible. But can definitely be done yourself too. Going to want 5 mins on Medium to High intensity, due to likelihood of imperfect placement, and it's going to be "peering" through rib cage window slits. Excellent for helping your body control inflammation globally. 3) Cerebral Ultrasound - Insular Cortex Stimulation: This targets a region of the brain that deals with your bodies memory of previous inflammatory responses. Thus, stimulation of this region increases brain neuroplasticity, and enables you to "move on" from previous cyclical inflammatory responses. (People associate emotional "pain" with an inflammation response - thus a painful memory (trigger) (trauma even) can produce an identical inflammatory spike throughout the body) - The Insular Cortex is where this happens. Highly supportive of Spleen Stimulation protocol. 4) Other uses have been explored for Lymphatic Drainage, but this is on a case by case basis, and typically utilized best when/if the body has some major lymphatic drainage issue (water retention / lymph swelling in specific parts of the body [such as left side of body near armpits] that may benefit from increased lymphatic drainage activity) - Ultrasound amplifies Lymphatic systems (also glymphatic brain cleaning is activated as well) - and is generally utilized for 5 minutes on Medium to High settings, as is comfortable on the body - and likely for 1-2 weeks until swelling has subsided.
