It links mother and child before birth and provides a hub for nutrients to flow between their bodies. "This is the place of our first nourishment as we developed in our mother’s womb," says Heather Baines AD C-AP. The philosophy of navel therapy (also referred to as nabhi chikitsa, nabhi Purana, or nabhi basti) informs us that the navel continues to serve as a center of balance in adulthood. It is where the nabhi marma—a central and very powerful energy center—resides says Baines, an Ayurvedic Doctor certified by the National Ayurvedic Medical Association, and founder and managing director of Roots of Wellness, a cooperative of Ayurvedic practitioners located in Boulder, Colorado. And because the belly button presents an abundance of blood vessels and pathways to the body’s extremities, the absorption of oils through the navel pathways is strong.
