A TikTok video on navel oiling has gone viral with almost 11.5 million views.
Navel oiling is a process that involves oiling the belly button and the abdomen.
Ayurvedic methods suggest applying oils like castor, peppermint, and ginger to the belly button.
Experts say that doing this will help treat hernias, cysts, fibroids, and endometriosis.
The “miracle therapy” is because the belly button has 7,000 veins that extend through the body.
Some claim this improves health and helps in weight loss. However, there is no evidence.
Instead, you can incorporate other methods like a healthy diet and daily exercise.
Studies show that applying oil on your head relieves stress and built-up tension.
If stress is one factor that contributes to weight gain, rubbing oil can be of some help.
