The Ayurvedic ritual of navel oiling.

And its amazing benefits for your health!

Navel oiling is an ancient Indic therapy of massaging the belly-button with a combination of pure ghee and other oils to achieve astounding health benefits. 

There are 72,000 veins in the navel, making the belly button a focal point. All these nerves get stimulated when the belly button is looked after. Navel oiling is known to treat various ailments in the body and hence has been included in the ‘Ratricharya’ or the night time routine. Ancient Ayurvedic texts, recognise that the time of the night is predominantly governed by the ‘Vata’ dosha that is programmed for internal cleansing of the body as we sleep.

This life-sustaining umbilical cord internally stores energy and keeps the body in balance along with the five elements externally. As we grow, the belly button also matures into a hub that allows nutrients to transfer freely into the most intricate parts of the body. It is the first ever place of nourishment, and provider of abundant energy for our bodies and minds to thrive both physically and mentally.

Navel oiling, a traditional practice of applying oil to the belly button, is rooted in Ayurvedic and holistic wellness practices. While scientific evidence directly linking navel oil application to improved fertility or conception is limited, it is believed to support reproductive health indirectly by improving hormonal balance, circulation, and stress reduction. Here’s how it may help:

 

Potential Benefits of Navel Oiling for Conception

 1. Hormonal Balance

Oils like sesame, castor, or coconut are thought to nourish the body and support hormonal regulation, which is essential for ovulation and conception.

 2. Improved Circulation

Massaging oil around the navel may enhance blood flow to the reproductive organs, supporting their function.

 3. Stress Reduction

The practice of navel oiling can be relaxing, reducing stress levels. Lower stress supports balanced cortisol levels, which positively impact reproductive hormones.

 4. Detoxification

Ayurvedic practices suggest that applying oil to the navel helps detoxify the body, potentially creating a healthier environment for conception.

 

How to Use Navel Oil for Fertility

  • Use oils like castor, sesame, neem, or almond oil. Some also use specially formulated Ayurvedic fertility oils.
