Nabhi Puran
Nabhi Puran: Ancient Healing Through Navel Therapy
Today, we’re going to explore an age-old, powerful method of healing that doesn’t just moisturize your skin but revitalizes your entire system — a method known as Nabhi Puran, or navel oiling.
The Navel: Your Second Brain and the Center of Health
Did you know there’s a part of your body often referred to as your second brain? It’s also the center of your body — your navel.
In yogic science, this spot corresponds to the Manipura Chakra. Why is it called so?
- “Mani” means jewel or real wealth.
- “Pur” means place, like in names such as Rampur or Nagpur.
So, Manipura translates to “place of real wealth” — and that wealth is health.
Whether you wish to live as a yogi or enjoy life as a bhogi (a person indulging in worldly pleasures), you need a healthy body.
Health is the foundation of both spiritual and material journeys. And this journey starts from your navel.
What is Nabhi Puran (Navel Oiling)?
Nabhi Puran is a traditional practice where warm oil is applied to the navel.
Just two drops of oil, gently massaged inside and around the belly button before bedtime, can initiate powerful healing.
You don’t need to press the navel — just a gentle circular massage will do.
Let the oil sit overnight. Within two days, you’ll begin to notice incredible changes.
Why is the Navel So Powerful?
Let’s travel back to your time in the womb. You were connected to your mother through the umbilical cord — through your navel. This was your life source.
Even today, your navel retains that absorptive power. That’s why many men find cotton from their undershirts in their belly button — the navel pull it in.
By applying natural oil, we give the navel something nourishing to absorb, just like it did in the womb.

- South India? Use coconut oil.

- Pitta (heat) body? Avoid sesame or mustard oil. Use coconut or ghee.

- Safest for all body types:Pure cow’s ghee.
When to Apply the Oil?
- Ideal: Just before bed.
- Have dinner by 7 PM, apply oil by 10 PM.
- If late dinner: Apply in the morning before shower, keep for 20 minutes.
Note: Nighttime is always better due to deeper rest and absorption.
How Often Should You Do It?
Don’t make your body addicted.
- Do it for 15 days, then take a 5-day break.
- Repeat this cycle for lasting results.
The “Three N’s” of Oil Application
Traditionally, three body parts beginning with “N” are considered ideal for oil application:
- Nasika (Nose)
- Nabhi (Navel)
- Nakun (Nails)
(Note: Eyes used to be included too, but due to lack of oil purity today, it’s not recommended.)
