Oiling or massaging your body (and the hair) is considered a traditional remedy which we have seen our parents and grandparents practice and talk about. Oiling has a lot more benefits to offer apart from nourishment.
The belly button is not just a tiny dot on your navel but it is a chamber which holds the solution to many health problems. The belly button is connected to multiple veins in the body and when it is nourished using oil, it helps you get rid of certain health problems too. Whatever oil or carrier you choose- be it coconut, mustard or rosemary, it will be useful for you!
Scientifically, this method is known as 'Pechoti method'. According to traditional science, absorbing essential oils and scents through the belly button, which is said to be connected to a special 'Pechoti' gland in the body can correct, heal and balance nervous connections present in the body. Even though there is no clinical evidence to support the workings of the same, traditionally, therapeutic massages are said to do wonders for the body.
