To relax the vagus nerve, several effective exercises can be practiced. Deep, diaphragmatic breathing is key; it involves inhaling slowly through the nose, allowing your belly to rise, and exhaling slowly to activate the vagus nerve and promote relaxation[4]. Additionally, cold exposure, such as splashing cold water on your face or using a cold compress on your neck, can stimulate the vagus nerve and help lower heart rate[5].
Other helpful techniques include humming, singing, or chanting, which create vibrations that activate the vagus nerve[6]. Regularly practicing these exercises can enhance your ability to manage stress and foster a sense of calm[4].
