Autonomic Nervous System and Cranial Nerves Module
Part of the Nanopuncture Seminar Series
About this Module
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is like a computer in our bodies that keeps many of our systems running in the “background,” including digestion, perspiration, breathing, swallowing, blood pressure, heart rate, and more. This module will cover which parts of the ANS control which functions and how to recognize when part of the ANS is malfunctioning.
We will discuss how to assess the autonomic nervous system and cranial nerves and which processes they help regulate. Participants will learn which acupuncture points and herbal remedies treat the ANS most effectively.
This module will be taught by both Dr. Clayton and Dr. Ayla Wolf. Dr. Wolf is an esteemed practitioner of acupuncture and oriental medicine who specializes in concussions and neurological disorders. She is also an Assistant Professor of Acupuncture at the Carrick Institute.
