Parasympathetic Nervous System

Your parasympathetic nervous system is often called the "rest and digest" system because it's responsible for the calm, relaxed state that promotes healing, digestion, and recovery. When your parasympathetic system is dominant, your heart rate slows, breathing deepens, and your body focuses on repair and restoration. Modern life often keeps us in sympathetic (stress) mode, making parasympathetic activation crucial for health.
