The vagus nerve - also known as "the wandering nerve" - the longest cranial nerve, is a key regulator of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), balancing the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) and sympathetic (fight-or-flight) responses. It controls vital functions such as heart rate, digestion, inflammation, and stress regulation by transmitting signals between the brain and major organs.

A strong vagal tone promotes relaxation, enhances digestion, supports immune function, and reduces inflammation, while low vagal activity is linked to anxiety, poor gut health, and chronic disease. Stimulating the vagus nerve through breathing exercises, cold exposure, and meditation can help restore nervous system balance and improve overall well-being.

When it's working great, things are pretty great; if not, lots of seemingly unrelated health problems might occur. I guess you could say the vagus nerve and its proper functioning are one of the most important roots of vibrant health.
