Belly Button Drops

Belly Button Drops Castor oil & Frankincense Essential oil

Our belly button, or navel as it is commonly called, is often a forgotten area of our body. Yet, in many traditional healing practices, it is considered a focal point. Applying castor oil to this area is believed to aid its absorption into the body. Why so? The skin around the belly button is thinner compared to other areas, allowing for easier penetration of oils into the underlying tissues. Plus, the navel is connected to various internal organs via numerous veins. As such, applying castor oil here could have systemic effects throughout your body.

Benefits of Applying Castor Oil to the Belly Button can help with:

1) Pain Relief

Experiencing pain from arthritis or menstrual cramps? Rubbing castor oil on your belly button might help. Castor oil contains ricin oleic acid, known for its anti-inflammatory properties. When absorbed through the belly button, it can help reduce inflammation and provide relief from discomfort in nearby areas. However, you should always consult your family doctor before trying out new pain relief methods.

2) Digestive System Support

If constipation troubling you, applying castor oil to your navel might be beneficial. Known for its laxative properties when ingested, applying castor oil to the belly button can stimulate your digestive system supporting overall digestive health by promoting regular bowel movements.

3) Skin Care

Castor oil has moisturizing properties and is rich in fatty acids — both beneficial for skin health. This oiling practice can help hydrate your skin and may improve its appearance due to the antimicrobial properties of castor oil that can help prevent infections. Remember to test a small amount first, though, as some people might have an allergic reaction.

4) Hair Growth Promoter

Ever thought about promoting hair growth through your belly button? It might sound unusual, but many people believe that applying castor oil to the navel can do just that. Rich in nutrients that nourish hair follicles, it’s thought that this oil can stimulate hair growth on your scalp and eyebrows if applied regularly. (Not Belly Button hair 😝)

5) Detoxification Support

Though there’s more anecdotal evidence than scientific support, some practitioners suggest that castor oil can aid in detoxification. They believe it can help draw out toxins when applied to the belly button.

6) Boost Fertility

Applying castor oil to the belly button has been a traditional practice believed to support reproductive health. The oil is thought to penetrate deeply, enhancing circulation to the reproductive organs. This increased blood flow may benefit ovarian health in women and sperm production in men. Additionally, castor oil’s anti-inflammatory properties may help reduce pelvic inflammation, creating a more favorable environment for conception. Regular application, paired with gentle massage, is commonly practiced in natural wellness routines aimed at boosting fertility.

7) Improve Joint Health

Castor oil is rich in ricin oleic acid, a fatty acid with powerful anti-inflammatory properties that can help alleviate joint pain and stiffness. Applying castor oil to the belly button allows it to absorb into the body and may offer joint pain relief by reducing inflammation at the source. 

8) Balance Hormones

Hormonal imbalance can lead to a range of issues, including mood swings, irregular periods, and skin problems. Castor oil has been traditionally used to help balance hormones by enhancing liver health, which plays a key role in hormone regulation. Applying it to the belly button can facilitate its absorption, stimulating better circulation and detoxification, thereby supporting the endocrine system. For women, this practice may help balance reproductive hormones, while for men, it may aid in managing testosterone levels.

9) Reduce Stress and Anxiety

Applying castor oil to the belly button is thought to have a calming effect, potentially easing stress and anxiety. The oil’s nourishing properties, combined with the meditative practice of self-care, can create a relaxing routine that promotes emotional balance. Some believe that massaging castor oil around the belly button stimulates pressure points linked to stress relief. This gentle, mindful practice may provide a natural way to manage stress and enhance overall emotional well-being.
