Autonomic Balance

Autonomic Balance is a state of equilibrium maintained within the body by the autonomic nervous system. It refers to the balance between the two components of this system, namely the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions, which regulate various physiological functions including heart rate, respiration, digestion and pupil dilation.

The term ‘balance’ in Autonomic Balance does not necessarily imply equal contributions from both divisions; rather it describes an optimal level of function that maintains homeostasis. Imbalances in this system can lead to a range of health disorders such as hypertension or irritable bowel syndrome.

Measurement methods include power spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV), a non-invasive method providing insight into cardiac autonomic regulation. Clinically, Autonomic Balance is considered a key factor influencing cardiovascular risk and has been linked with mental health conditions like anxiety and depression.
