It travels from the brainstem down to the heart, lungs, digestive tract, and nearly every major organ. It plays a key role in the <strong data-start=\"967\" data-end=\"1001\">parasympathetic nervous system<\/strong>\u2014also known as the \u201crest and digest\u201d system.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1047\" data-end=\"1096\">When functioning properly, the vagus nerve helps:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1234\">\n<li data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1125\">\n<p data-start=\"1099\" data-end=\"1125\">Lower stress and anxiety<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1126\" data-end=\"1163\">\n<p data-start=\"1128\" data-end=\"1163\">Regulate heart rate and digestion<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1164\" data-end=\"1196\">\n<p data-start=\"1166\" data-end=\"1196\">Reduce systemic inflammation<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1197\" data-end=\"1234\">\n<p data-start=\"1199\" data-end=\"1234\">Promote relaxation and deep sleep<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr data-start=\"1236\" data-end=\"1239\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"1241\" data-end=\"1312\">\ud83e\uddec What Is Fascia\u2014and How Does It Interact With the Nervous System?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"1526\"><strong data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"1324\">Fa\u00e7ade<\/strong> is the connective tissue web that surrounds every muscle, organ, and nerve.
