Why it's done (Ayurvedic )
- Central Energy Point: The navel is considered a vital center linked to internal organs.
- Nerve Network: A dense network of nerves and capillaries allows oils to be absorbed and reach deeper systems (digestive, reproductive).
- Benefits: Believed to improve digestion, detoxify, reduce stress, nourish skin/hair, and boost immunity.
How to do it (Step-by-Step)
- Warm Oil: Slightly warm a few drops of oil (lukewarm, not hot).
- Lie Down: Relax on your back.
- Apply Oil: Place 3-5 drops directly in the navel.
