Our autonomic nervous system (VNS) unconsciously controls numerous vital functions in our body. It consists of the sympathetic nervous system, our ‘stress nerve’, and the parasympathetic nervous system, the ‘rest and digest nerve’. The sympathetic nervous system puts us on alert – in the past, it helped humans to flee from danger or fight. The parasympathetic nervous system is its natural counterpart: it ensures rest, restful sleep, stable digestion and a strong immune system.

If this interaction is thrown out of balance by prolonged stress, the body can no longer adequately reduce stress. This can manifest itself in the form of sleep disorders, inner restlessness, increased susceptibility to infections or digestive problems – typical signs of a weakened parasympathetic nervous system.

Our heart rate variability (HRV) reflects the state of our autonomic nervous system. Unlike simple HRV measurements, such as those taken by smartwatches, our VNS analysis takes other important parameters into account and compares them with study-based standard values. This provides a particularly reliable and differentiated picture of your nervous system, enabling us to identify stress and imbalances at an early stage and treat them in a targeted manner.

There are many ways to strengthen the parasympathetic nervous system and promote autonomic balance. These include targeted relaxation and breathing techniques, regular endurance sports, individually selected dietary supplements and advanced therapies such as IHHT, infusion therapy or acupuncture. Together, we will find the right combination for you.

The examination itself is simple and painless with the aid of a chest strap and takes about 15 minutes.
A VNS analysis is particularly useful in chronic stress and exhaustion, sleep disorders, loss of performance and drive, as well as for prevention and check-ups.
