The vagus nerve connects your brain to many organs throughout the body, including the heart, lungs and gut. Stimulating it has been shown to help treat a wide variety of health conditions, including chronic headaches and migraines. Since this all-important nerve is connected to your vocal cords and the muscles at the back of your throat, it’s easy to give it a little TLC by singing, humming, chanting or gargling for 45 seconds once a day.
The quick spritz that THICKENS HAIR
For the more than 50% of women over age 50 who have thinning hair, help is here! One of my favorite ways to combat sparse strands is with rosemary. The herb contains rosmarinic acid, which has been shown to boost circulation to the scalp and promote hair growth as effectively as minoxidil. To get the benefits: Add 4 Tbs. of dried rosemary to 4 cups of boiled water. Steep for 40 minutes, then strain the brew into a large spray bottle and add 4 Tbs. apple cider vinegar; refrigerate. Spritz onto the scalp once or twice a week after shampooing.
Very interesting! I do mantras in my car when I am commuting to work. What a great benefit to know about.
