Essential oil is a kind of refined oil component. The materials of essential oil are generally extracted from various flowers with nutritional value, such as rose, chrysanthemum, lavender, etc. Among them, rose essential oil is the most popular essential oil. Some people like to drip essential oil on the belly button, believing that the absorption effect is very good. Let’s take a look at whether there is any harm in dripping essential oil on the belly button and what are the effects?

Essential oils are mild astringents when used on the skin. For example, rose essential oil is very effective for wrinkles, eczema and broken capillaries. And it is harmless, so you can use it with confidence.

Benefits of essential oils:

1. Regulate immunity

Rose essential oil dropped on the navel can help stimulate the acupuncture points. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the navel is the innate foundation of the human body and can help replenish the Yuan Yang; while Western medicine believes that dropping rose essential oil on the navel can help regulate the body's immunity, improve the body's internal environment, and maintain human health.

2. Regulate intestinal function

Dropping rose essential oil on the navel can help stimulate the intestines, improve the intestinal environment, enhance intestinal function, and help improve the function of the entire digestive system.

3. Relieve menopausal discomfort

Rose essential oil placed on the navel can help relieve the discomfort of menopause. In addition, dropping rose essential oil on the navel can help improve women's endocrine system through penetration, and it has a good effect on dysmenorrhea, abnormal sexual desire, etc. However, because rose essential oil cannot penetrate into the uterus, it has no health-care effect on the uterus.

4. Nourish skin and beautify

The beauty effect of dropping rose essential oil on the navel is not as good as massage, but because the Shenque point at the navel can better absorb the essential oil, dropping rose essential oil on the navel can also help fade spots from the inside out, accelerate the decomposition of melanin, and help improve dry skin, lack of skin elasticity and other problems.

Dropping a drop of essential oil in the navel every day has a conditioning effect. The essential oil also needs to be diluted with base oil before it can be dropped into the navel! Generally, 10 drops of rose essential oil + 10ml base oil are diluted, and 1-2 drops can be dropped into the navel once a day.

Note: Essential oils cannot be applied directly to the skin. They need to be diluted before use on the skin, otherwise they may easily burn the skin.
