Self Massage Neck and Upper Back Part 1


The link below is to the video testimonial by Dr. Leah Davidovich www.youtube.com To view written testimonials of doctors and other medical professionals please click this link medicalmassage-edu.com The vagus nerve is very long cranial nerve that originates from the brain stem and continues all the way to the internal organs also passing through the carotid artery. The vagus nerve conducts impulses/signals to and from the brain. These signals are responsible for a number of responses in the body, including for contact with the heart, reflex responses and more. One of the vagus nerve functions is its involvement in regulation of the heart beat. By massaging carotid arteries we stimulate vagus nerve directly. Excessive vagus nerve stimulation can cause someone to faint or even fall into a coma because his or her heart rate and blood pressure could drop so much. Additionally often blood clots develop at carotid arteries and massage can rapture/release it immediately, causing a stroke.
