FAQS

Navel oiling refers to the direct application of therapeutic oils into the belly button. This practice comes from Ayurveda, where the navel is considered a central point of absorption. It is believed to be a portal to the internal systems within the body via nerves and fascia. This centuries-old practice is believed to support both the lymphatic and nervous systems, two key regulators of rest, recovery, and deep, restorative sleep.
To practice navel oiling, place three drops of organic, cold-pressed castor oil into the belly button about an hour before bedtime. Lie down for a few minutes to allow the oil to gently absorb. You may also choose to massage lightly around the navel and stomach to encourage absorption. To protect clothing or bedding, simply place one of our navel patches over the area after application.
