Applying castor oil to the belly button is a popular wellness trend rooted in Ayurvedic practices. There is no scientific evidence that the belly button offers unique absorption benefits for castor oil. Castor oil does have proven benefits for skin hydration and, when used topically in packs, may help with constipation and cramping.

At the height of summer you might notice some signs of aggravated Pitta rising. Those with high Pitta constitutions are more likely to show these symptoms, but don’t forget also Kapha and Vata types can get vitiated Pitta! Pitta is the energy of fire and water. Its main seat is in the centre of the body around the navel (manipura and solar plexus chakra). Its primary sites are in the small intestine and lower stomach (whereas upper stomach is Kapha territory and large intestines are Vata). The Pitta transformational forces fire up stagnant Kapha and give direction to erratic Vata.
