WHAT IS NAVEL OILING / PECHOTI METHOD?

Navel Oiling is an Ayurvedic ritual dating back to the fifteenth century, where herbal oil is massaged into the belly button to support digestion, hormonal balance and overall well-being..

HOW?

Transdermal delivery of herbs and medicines is a common practice in both Western and Eastern medicine. Think nicotine patches, pain relief gels and hormone creams!

The skin around the navel is thin and rich with nerve endings and lymphatic flow. When our herbal oil is placed into the navel, it absorbs through these pathways and begins to nourish the tissues deep in the gut.
