Massaging our head and body is an ancient practice and a traditional remedy for our well being especially in Asia. It has so many benefits that our mothers would make it a point to massage us since the time we were born. The oils used could be any but the most common ones are coconut and sweet almond oil and even mustard oil. However, there is one part of our body that we forget to massage as we grow and that is the belly button.
Surprisingly, there are many reasons why we should be massaging our belly buttons every night before sleeping. As per traditional science, applying oil in our belly buttons heals, corrects and balances our nervous connections in the body. Reason being that it is connected to a “pechoti” gland. However, there is no clinical evidence to the same but our ancestors must have been practicing this for a reason right? There are some changes that I have myself noticed so keep scrolling.
Fertility
It is said that a baby and its mother are connected via the belly button. If you oil it daily and massage with care, it is believed to be good for improving fertility in both men and women. It also helps in improving sperm count.
Upset Stomach
Apply a mixture of ginger and mustard oil and apply it on your belly button. This is said to help out in curbing an upset stomach, nausea and bloating.
Dirt Removal
