The Ancient Art of Navel Oiling
The Ancient Art of Navel Oiling
Unlocking Wellness Through Ayurveda
A new trend has been making waves in the wellness community—oiling your navel. This practice, rooted in Ayurveda, is said to help reduce bloating, ease menstrual cramps, and support overall well-being. But is there truth behind these claims? Let’s dive deeper into this ancient ritual and discover its benefits.
The Gut-Brain Connection and the Solar Plexus Chakra
The belly button isn’t just a small indentation on the body—it’s a central point of connection. It links to the nervous system and plays a role in the gut-brain axis (GBA), which governs communication between the brain and intestinal functions.
In Ayurvedic tradition, the navel is associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura Chakra)—the center of confidence, strength, and clarity. Ever felt butterflies in your stomach when nervous or excitement deep in your gut? These sensations originate from the nerves surrounding this area. By applying and massaging oils into the navel, you can promote mental clarity, reduce stress, and enhance emotional balance.
For individuals with a uterus, there’s an additional layer of connection. The navel is linked to the womb via the umbilical cord, making this practice beneficial for reproductive health. Applying oils like castor, olive, or coconut oilcan aid digestion, relieve bloating, and even soothe menstrual cramps.
The Benefits of Living Stone Wellness Navel Drops
Living Stone Wellness offers specially formulated Navel Drops, infused with herbs and oils to maximize benefits. Let’s explore how these oils work:
Olive Oil
The Skin Protector
The belly button is a warm, enclosed space that can harbor bacteria. Olive oil’s antibacterial, antifungal, and antiseptic properties help keep this area clean and free from infections.
Additionally, olive oil is rich in natural fatty acids, which help:
-
Erase hyperpigmentation
-
Prevent excessive dryness
-
Improve skin texture and moisture retention
-
Enhance natural skin radiance
Living Stone Wellness Navel Drops with Olive Oil are infused with lavender and nettle to soothe and nourish the skin, supporting its health from the inside out.
Coconut Oil
The Fertility & Circulation Booster
Applying coconut oil to the navel may enhance fertility in both men and women. It is quickly absorbed, providing deep nourishment and hydration to the skin. Additionally, coconut oil contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are known to aid in reducing belly fat.
Its anti-inflammatory properties help:
-
Soothe inflamed skin
-
Reduce redness and swelling
-
Improve overall circulation
Living Stone Wellness Navel Drops with Coconut Oil are blended with rose and chickweed, a powerful combination for reducing inflammation and enhancing circulation.
Castor Oil
The Womb Healer
Castor oil is a well-known natural remedy for reproductive issues. Rubbing it onto the belly can stimulate sacral organs, aiding in menstruation and relieving cramps. Its natural laxative properties can also help cleanse the digestive tract.
Other benefits include:
-
Reducing bloating
-
Soothing an upset stomach
-
Promoting overall gut health
[Important Note: Avoid using castor oil if you are pregnant, as it may stimulate contractions.]
Living Stone Wellness Navel Drops with Castor Oil are infused with red clover, a powerful herb known to stimulate digestion and reduce bloating.
Additional Navel Oils for Holistic Healing
Beyond olive, coconut, and castor oil, other oils can provide targeted benefits:
-
Almond Oil – Softens and nourishes the skin
-
Neem Oil – Detoxifies the body, fights bacteria and fungi, and reduces acne
How to Use Navel Oil for Maximum Benefits
-
Cleanse Your Navel – Wash your belly button thoroughly with soap and water. For a deep clean, use a cotton swab or Q-tip to remove any buildup. Dry the area well with a towel to prevent moisture accumulation.
-
Apply a Few Drops – Choose a Living Stone Wellness Navel Drop that suits your needs and place a few drops into your belly button.
-
Massage Gently – Use circular motions to massage the oil into your navel, allowing absorption into the skin.
-
Be Consistent – For the best results, apply the oil nightly for several weeks.
