Ayurvedic belly button therapy (Nabhi Chikitsa) is the practice of energy balancing via medicated oils, applied through and around the belly button. The belly button is known as the core root of all blood vessels (Sira Mula). Additionally, the belly button and its surrounding skin are home to an abundance of nerve endings which serve as one of the most crucial energy centers (Marma Point) for the human body. Bokaí medicated oils assist in natural bodily detoxification by balancing the five fundamental elements of the body, cited in Ayurvedic scripture - space, water, fire, earth, and air. Once absorbed, these oils will impart their beneficial effects through the dense network of vascularity in the belly button area.
