The "90 Minute Viva Las Vagus Nerve Session" is a new massage service designed to promote relaxation and activate the vagus nerve to induce a parasympathetic state of rest and digestion while reducing inflammation. The vagus nerve is a key part of the autonomic nervous system responsible for regulating various bodily functions, including heart rate, digestion, and inflammation response.
Here's a breakdown of what the session entails:
Essential Oils and Deep Breathing: The session incorporates the use of essential oils known to trigger the parasympathetic response, such as lavender, bergamot, or peppermint. These scents are likely to help in relaxing the mind and body. Deep breathing exercises accompanied by steaming hot towels can further enhance the relaxation experience.
Occipital Rocking of the Skull: This technique involves gentle rocking movements applied to the back of the skull. It aims to transport the recipient to a tranquil mental space, away from the stresses and distractions of daily life.
Cushions and Pillows Support: The client will be comfortably nestled and supported with cushions and pillows to enhance the overall comfort during the session.
Tracing the lamina groove of the spine: The therapist will perform gentle movements along the lamina groove of the spine to decrease stress levels.
Reflexology: Reflexology movements will be applied to the hands, ears, and feet. Reflexology is based on the belief that specific points on these areas correspond to different organs and systems in the body, and by stimulating these points, relaxation and improved well-being can be achieved.
Guasha Muscle Stripping: Guasha is a traditional Chinese therapy that involves gentle scraping of the skin to release tension and promote blood flow. In this context, muscle stripping with guasha is used to support freedom of movement and aid in balancing the nervous system.
By focusing on activating the vagus nerve, the session aims to facilitate the body's natural ability to detect inflammation and respond by inducing a parasympathetic state, which can help reduce inflammation and promote overall relaxation and well-being.
It's important to note that while this session is deeply relaxing and grounding, it is not a deep tissue massage, which is typically e intense and focuses on targeting deeper layers of muscle tissue. Instead, the emphasis is on stimulating the Vagus nerve and promoting relaxation through gentle techniques and the use of essential oils.
As with any new massage or wellness treatment, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or the massage therapist to ensure it's appropriate for your individual health needs and preferences.
