I wish to try it for insomnia I am going through, during this job hunt phase.They says it works like magic.

The skin around the navel is actually very thin and is also rich in capillaries and lymphatic vessels and that’s how it allows for better absorption of lipid-based compounds like oils. Few research studies have inferred that this naval area can stimulate the vagus nerve that plays a primary role in stress management and it also maintains the well-being of gut-brain communication. Moreover, the navel region has some abdominal acupressure points that are associated with hormonal balance. So, considering many significant benefits, definitely this ritual is worth trying.
