The harmonious interaction of fascia, autonomic nervous system and brain: A symphony for well-being
Do you want to learn how fascia, the autonomic nervous system and the brain interact with each other and what can disrupt this harmonious interaction? In this article, we'll explain the basic concepts and show you how to use the odem-products to achieve a harmonious balance.
The autonomic nervous system
It is active day and night and controls all involuntary, automatic functions such as heartbeat, digestion and respiration, the level of blood pressure or bladder activity. Sweat secretion or the acceleration of the pulse during physical exertion are also among the body processes controlled by the autonomic nervous system. This regulation takes place without voluntary control, i.e. autonomously.
Our autonomic nervous system is divided into two parts: the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous system. Both have their place and work together like a harmonious composition. We need both systems to successfully cope with challenging situations and to rebuild energy afterwards. A perfect example of their interaction is our heartbeat: for a regular rhythm, we need both the activation of the sympathetic nervous system and the relaxation of the parasympathetic nervous system. If this balance is disturbed over a longer period of time, cardiac arrhythmias can occur.
Unfortunately, this harmonious interaction is increasingly lost in our digitalized and hectic world. Due to the omnipresent stress, the overstimulation by technical devices and the overstimulation of the nerve receptors of the fascia system by electrosmog, the nervous system is overstrained in most people. The effort one has to make to keep his body in balance is getting bigger and bigger. This inhibits the parasympathetic nervous system and weakens the regulatory capacity of our autonomic nervous system.
As a result, important things like a restful sleep, being mindful of one's surroundings, or simply living a life full of energy become less and less.
Did you know that stress is necessary for survival?
Stress is a life-sustaining regulatory principle and enables complex reactions to life-threatening situations. First and foremost, we flee; if this is not possible, we engage in fight or flight. Acute stress is a form of stress for which we are built and which could also be considered the "salt in the soup" of life. It can have a positive effect on our state of health, our ability to perform and concentrate, and on our lust for life and sexual desire.
We have to face various demands every day. In the short term, we can easily cope with stress. But the more regularly we are in stressful situations and then fail to take conscious measures for rest and regeneration, the more likely it is that mental or physical complaints will arise.
The variety of stress factors such as mental strain, negative environmental influences, electrosmog, pressure to perform, private problems, etc. put our body into a kind of permanent stress. This permanent stress overactivates the sympathetic nervous system and the balance of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system is disturbed.

The sympathetic nervous system
The sympathetic nervous system is also known as the "fight or flight nerve" and is activated in stressful or stressful situations. It enables us to reach our performance limits during sport by optimizing cardiac output, oxygen supply to the organs, muscle contraction and blood circulation. In stressful situations, it sharpens our senses and controls the release of adrenaline. At the same time, however, it inhibits all non-essential organ and metabolic activities.
As an example: If one is permanently in "fight and flight mode", the complex digestive process functions only partially. This explains why so many people have poor digestion or a poor metabolism. The reason is, among other things, permanent stress.
In animals, the release of adrenaline suppresses the perception of pain. For example, when an animal flees and is eaten, it does not feel the pain. Transferred to humans, this means that the more the sympathetic nervous system is activated in an uncontrolled way, the less we feel ourselves, our fellow human beings and our environment. We appear distant, dismissive, nervous or egocentric.
The parasympathetic nervous system
The parasympathetic nervous system is most active during periods of rest, in relaxed situations and during sleep. It controls about 80% of all autonomic processes in the body and is responsible for a variety of functions. These include regeneration and the building up of energy reserves during sleep, the entire digestive process, a strong immune system and most of the metabolism. On a psychological level, the parasympathetic nervous system ensures relaxation, recuperation, coming to rest after stressful situations, and the processing of stimuli and information. Due to permanent stress and the constant overstimulation, whether from external factors or internal influences, the autonomic nervous system loses its important regulatory ability and the sympathetic nervous system takes over control. The parasympathetic nervous system falls behind and important organ and metabolic processes, including detoxification, operate on the back burner. External stimuli can be, for example, occupational or private stress as well as electrosmog, while internal stimuli include, for example, medications and emotions such as anxiety.
The data collector fascia system
Our fascia system, fulfills and includes various tasks and functions. The supporting and shape-retaining function is known to most people, but the task profile is much more diverse. Most mitochondria, the power plants of our cells for energy production, are located in the fascia layers. They are crucial for energy production through the utilization of food. In addition, the fasciae serve as transport routes for detoxification, as they contain miles of tubules that remove toxins and harmful substances from the cells.
In addition, it is permeated by countless receptors that convert stimuli into information and transmit it to the central nervous system. In this way, we are in constant communication with our environment.
Everyone knows the phenomenon: When someone looks at us from behind, we feel it and turn around. Or we don't feel comfortable in a place and would like to leave immediately. We also like to call this perception "gut feeling". This happens through the millions of receptors in the fasciae, which constantly convert all incoming stimuli into information and pass it on to the brain. This information decides whether we feel comfortable or safe in a situation or not.
Good to know
About 50 million pieces of information are collected per second. Our subconscious filters this information down to about 400-500 relevant data, of which we as conscious people perceive only 4-5.
The problem of the hectic and digital world
Nowadays, this sensitive information-gathering system is exposed to more stimuli than ever before. Whether at work, in traffic, in everyday life or even in many parts of nature, the flood of stimuli is enormous. All the artificial electromagnetic waves (electrosmog) emitted by modern technologies constantly stimulate our receptors in the fascial layers. When these stimuli reach the brain, it is unable to categorize them due to a lack of experience with electromagnetic waves. Our brain classifies this unidentifiable information as danger and our "fight and flight" program is activated. This leads to an increased stress level and a permanent partial activation of the sympathetic nervous system. At the same time, the fascia receptors are overstimulated and lose their ability to properly process valuable information from the environment.
Info: Epigeneticists say that it will take centuries for our system to adapt to these new stimuli.
A balance of nature-human technology
The solution lies in restoring the harmonious balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and stopping the constant overstimulation of nerve receptors by electrosmog.
This is where the odem products come into play. They are designed to improve the regulatory capacity of the autonomic nervous system, stop the irritation caused by electrosmog and connect people with vitalizing natural frequencies. Thus, odem products help to reduce stress levels and increase energy levels and improve sleep.
In this newfound balance, you can now write your symphony for well-being, in which all components work together harmoniously.
