Naval Button Therapy

A Powerful Self-Care Practice

Why Navel Therapy Is a Must

Navel therapy, also known as navel oiling, is a time-honored practice for detoxifying and nurturing the body.

Originating from Ayurvedic tradition, it recognizes the navel as a vital energy center that continues to influence well-being into adulthood.

By applying warm oil to the navel, this practice aims to balance Vata dosha, the air element within the body, promoting feelings of groundedness and nourishment.

The absorption of oils through the navel is believed to be particularly effective due to its connection to numerous blood vessels and pathways in the body.

Health Benefits

Benefits of navel oiling include soothing digestive discomfort, regulating digestive fire (agni), and promoting regular elimination. Additionally, this practice is thought to have a calming effect on both the mind and body, fostering a sense of relaxation and well-being.

 

According to Ayurvedic beliefs, the belly button, or nabhi, is considered the “reset button” of the body, containing over 72,000 veins and serving as a focal point for energy. Applying oil to the belly button is believed to offer various health benefits, from relieving dryness of eyes and skin to alleviating joint pain and lethargy.

Strengthening

Different oils are recommended for specific concerns, such as cooling oils for Pitta imbalance and warming oils for joint pain and dry skin. Applying a few drops of oil to the belly button before bedtime is suggested for optimal absorption and effectiveness.

Enhance Body Function

  1. Holistic Digestive Support: Navel oiling not only eases digestive discomfort and regulates agni but also aids in regular elimination, fostering overall digestive health. Additionally, it addresses imbalances in the body’s energy centers, offering relief from issues like gas, bloating, and lethargy.
  2. Balanced Skin Health: By applying almond oil, known for its nourishing properties, to the belly button, one can achieve softer and glowing skin. This internal connection to various body parts, including the face, allows for optimal absorption of nutrients, offering a potent remedy for acne and promoting clear skin with oils like neem.
  3. Anti-Aging and Vision Support: Navel oiling with castor oil aids in reducing signs of aging, such as wrinkles and dark circles, by nourishing the skin from within. Moreover, oils rich in lutein, like coconut oil, help protect vision by acting as antioxidants and safeguarding against blue light damage.
  4. Menstrual and Stomach Pain Relief: By soothing abdominal muscles and addressing discomfort associated with menstrual cramps, oils like ginger essential oil diluted with olive oil provide relief. Similarly, oils like peppermint essential oil diluted with olive oil alleviate stomach pain and related symptoms, including indigestion and bloating.
  5. Fertility Support: The application of oils to the belly button, particularly coconut oil, influences fertility by promoting relaxation of uterine and abdominal muscles, enhancing sperm motility and count, and addressing menstrual irregularities. This ancient practice harnesses the body’s natural connections to promote overall well-being and vitality.

Application

To practice navel therapy with oil, begin by selecting a suitable oil based on your specific needs and concerns, whether it be for digestion, relaxation, or skincare.
 
Before bedtime, ensure the abdomen is clean and dry. Using a dropper or your fingertips, apply 2-3 drops of warm oil directly to the belly button, gently massaging it in a clockwise motion.
 
Allow the oil to penetrate the skin and absorb fully, spreading it about 1-1.5 inches around the belly button for optimal absorption. Take this time to breathe deeply and relax, allowing the soothing warmth of the oil to permeate your abdomen and nurture your entire being.
 
Repeat this ritual daily to experience the full benefits of navel therapy, cultivating a sense of balance, vitality, and inner harmony with each application.
