Voxx HPT & Your Brain

Did you know that your brain controls all aspects of your being?
The brain is a complex organ that controls thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills, vision, breathing, temperature, hunger and every process that regulates our body. Together, the brain and spinal cord that extends from it make up the central nervous system.
When our neuroreceptors come in contact with the Voxx HPT pattern it triggers a response sending information to your central nervous system. That information activates commands for your peripheral nervous system to follow, from regulating pain to maintaining motor control and balance.
