Niloo Nikpour, MS

Niloo Nikpour immigrated to the United States from Iran with her husband and daughter in 1986. She worked as a gas station attendant to finance her master’s degree in economics, eventually becoming a corporate economist for nearly 20 years. Then, after picking up a book of Tao from a bookstore and experiencing a moment of clarity, she resigned from her corporate job. She began practicing yoga and meditation, spent the next 10 years learning from Lao Tsu, Chuang Tsu, Rumi and Carl Jung as her primordial teachers, and began studying TCM and herbal medicine at Emperor’s College. Together with her daughter, Catherine, they envision opening an acupuncture and wellness center for holistic healing, where people can receive love, hope, courage, and the power to heal their body, mind, and spirit.

Acupuncture’s Role in Stimulating the Vagus Nerve

One of the longest nerves in the body is known as the vagus nerve (VN). The VN is the 10th pair of cranial nerves that originates at the brain stem in the medulla oblongata. This nerve is part of the parasympathetic nervous system, which is a part of the ANS. Research suggests ear acupuncture can activate the VN.
