recently procured an acupressure spiky foot ball that was originally designed to combat depression by stimulating the vagus through the foot. I don't consider myself depressed by any means, but after a few minutes of rolling my feet aggressively over the ball and targeting a few key areas, I generally feel much better and can actually sense that my body is less stressed. everyone should have one or 2 of them
- 72deluxe 4y agoThis is very interesting - is that just a general acupressure spikey ball? I am looking for one on Amazon, if you had the link? Also, reading up on the vagus how is the vagus stimulated via the foot? Reading on wikipedia on the vagus nerve I cannot see how it is connected to the foot in any way? Thanks in advance
- WalterSear 4y agoIt's connected to the vagus nerve via the leader of the 1950's Chinese communist party: https://slate.com/technology/2013/10/traditional-chinese-medicine-origins-mao-invented-it-but-didnt-believe-in-it.html https://slate.com/technology/2013/10/traditional-chinese-med...
