7. What is the autonomic nervous system?
Why does the nervous system need stimulation?
The autonomic nervous system constantly
works in the background to regulate all the major functions of the
body. It is so powerful and truly autonomous (working independently
of our conscious thought) that we can literally live our whole lives
without knowing of all its intricate and subtle workings.
However in modern society many of us have
placed great burdens on this nervous system. The pressures of demanding
work schedules, poor posture, stressful situations, and even excessive
body weight can all lead to an overstretched and out-of-balance
nervous system. This in turn can lead to many of the modern ailments
that medicine has no specific cure for – chronic fatigue,
insomnia, headaches, stomach aches, constipation, depression, allergies
and so forth.
The autonomic nervous system has two parts:
the sympathetic and the parasympathetic, which govern different
aspects of the whole being. Some individuals tend to be more dominated
by the sympathetic, and others by the parasympathetic nervous system.
