  • Applying castor oil to the belly button is a simple, inexpensive practice that offers potential benefits, from digestive support to skin hydration.

The article from Moneycontrol discusses the health benefits of applying castor oil in the navel, a practice rooted in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. It highlights that this method can improve digestion by stimulating the digestive system, potentially reducing issues like constipation and bloating. Additionally, the oil's anti-inflammatory properties might help in reducing stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation through the absorption of ricinoleic acid, which can have a calming effect on the body. The article also mentions that castor oil can alleviate menstrual pain due to its ability to reduce inflammation and improve blood circulation in the pelvic area. Furthermore, it suggests benefits like detoxification, relief from joint pain, and even enhancement of hair growth, attributing these effects to the oil's deep penetrating and healing properties when applied to the navel, which is considered a vital point in Ayurveda for connecting to various organs.
