Some people have also found that stimulation of the vagus nerve via NATURAL METHODS during (or at the start of) a seizure appears to reduce or halt a seizure. This post is referring to the natural methods of vagus nerve stimulation. Ideas include:
- Yawning
- Humming
- Laughing
- Massaging at a pressure point on the neck near the earlobes (NB a professional should demonstrate how to do this, as it can be dangerous to apply pressure on the neck)
