In the heart of India’s ancient healing wisdom lies a lesser-known yet powerful practice: navel oiling, or nabhi chikitsa. At Kairali – The Ayurvedic Healing Village, a renowned health retreat in Kerala, this time-tested ritual is part of our integrative therapies designed for rejuvenation, detoxification, and emotional balance.
As modern lifestyles become increasingly stressful, people around the world are turning toward traditional methods for holistic healing. Navel oiling, rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts, is now being rediscovered for its multiple health benefits—from improved digestion and glowing skin to better sleep and reduced stress.
What is Navel Oiling (Nabhi Chikitsa) in Ayurveda?
In Ayurveda, the navel (nabhi) is considered a powerful energy center and the body’s central point of connection to nourishment, both physical and emotional. This area is home to over 72,000 nadis (energy pathways) and is closely linked to the manipura chakra, associated with digestion, confidence, and vitality.
Nabhi Chikitsa, or the practice of applying warm herbal oils to the belly button, helps restore internal balance, improve gut function, and harmonize the mind-body connection.
Navel Oiling Benefits Backed by Ancient Wisdom
1. Improves Digestion and Metabolism
Regular navel oiling stimulates the digestive fire (Agni), helping to regulate metabolism, relieve bloating, and reduce acidity.
2. Relieves Stress and Promotes Deep Sleep
Herbal oils like Kairali’s Brahmi Thailam have calming properties that nourish the nervous system.
3. Enhances Skin Health and Glow
Navel oiling is believed to hydrate internal tissues, which can enhance skin texture and clarity. It’s especially effective when used with herbal blends, known for their rejuvenating and detoxifying qualities.
4. Supports Hormonal Balance
By activating the central energy point of the body, nabhi oiling may help regulate hormonal functions and menstrual cycles in women.
