Autonomic tone refers to the balance and functioning of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which regulates involuntary bodily functions such as heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate. It is often assessed through measures like heart rate variability (HRV), which can indicate the body's response to stress and overall health. A healthy autonomic tone suggests a well-regulated balance between the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) systems. Variations in autonomic tone can impact physical and emotional well-being.

Various factors such as stress, emotions, hormones, and external stimuli can influence this balance and thus regulate autonomic tone.
