2. Glowing Skin: Good living mothers always have a special glow, but a little mustard oil can enhance that radiant look. Regular application can give you a more youthful appearance.
3. Improves Fertility: In traditional medicine, it’s believed that oiling the navel can boost fertility. While scientific backing is limited, many good living mothers swear by it.
4. Digestion Boost: If you’re struggling with digestion, especially after all those holiday feasts, a drop or two of mustard oil can be a savior. It’s believed to improve gut health and promote digestion.
How to Oil Your Belly Button with Mustard Oil:
1. Ensure your navel is clean. A quick wipe with rose water or plain water will do the trick.
2. Warm up a small amount of mustard oil. Just a few seconds in the microwave or a minute in a warm water bath for the oil container is enough.
3. Use a cotton ball to apply the oil gently around your belly button and massage in a circular motion. Let your skin soak up all the goodness!
4. For best results, leave the oil overnight. If you’re worried about staining your sheets, simply cover with a soft cloth or wear an old t-shirt.
