Children are interested in their navel and always point to it and ask their parents, "What is this?" Moreover, parents will also educate their children never to dig their navel. Children hardly understand why parents don't let them dig their navel. In fact, many adults don't understand the importance of the navel, especially those who don't take good care of it, and they don't understand how important it is to the human body.

First, the importance of navel

Traditional Chinese medicine points out that the belly button is an important acupoint in the human body, namely Shenque acupoint, which is an extremely important acupoint on the ren meridian of the human body and is also an important acupoint for human longevity.

As we all know, when the fetus is in the mother's belly, it depends on the placenta to absorb nutrition. After the fetus leaves the mother, the umbilical cord will be cut and separated from the placenta. The fetus is connected with the placenta through the umbilical cord, which is the navel. Without navel, human life would not exist.

The navel is like an energy supply station for the human body. If you take good care of your navel, you will be full of energy, strength, rosy complexion and longevity. Moreover, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, Shenque point corresponding to navel plays an important role in treating many diseases, such as stomach pain, edema and other symptoms, and massage Shenque point can effectively alleviate it.

Traditional Chinese medicine regards Shenque point corresponding to navel as Yang point on Ren meridian, while Mingmen point is Yang point on Du meridian. The two points are connected back and forth, and are in charge of the life energy of the human body. If you massage Shenque point at ordinary times, it can also play a health care role. The specific method is as follows: before going to bed every night, rub your hands first and then put them on your navel. Men rub clockwise, women rub counterclockwise. In addition to the health care of navel, it is more important to protect navel. So how to protect the navel in daily life?

Second, the practice of protecting the navel.

When the navel is injured, it is inevitable that the stomach will hurt. It can be seen that the navel is an important place to nourish the stomach. What exactly should I do? First of all, remember three taboos.

First, don't dig your navel. Some people think that there is something dirty in their navel, which looks ugly, so they will dig their navel, which is light and red. In severe cases, they may even scratch their navel. Once the navel is scratched, it may cause stomach pain. In fact, the so-called dirty things in the navel are only formed by substances such as cells falling off the skin, and the navel itself is relatively fragile. Usually, it is best not to dig with your hands, so as not to hurt your navel.

Second, we must pay attention to the warm work of the navel. If the navel catches cold, it will do great harm to the body, such as stomachache and nausea and vomiting. In particular, some girls who love beauty like to wear navel-revealing clothes in summer, which is not worth promoting. Even in hot weather, we should still pay attention to the warmth of the navel, and finally try not to expose the navel.

Third, it is best not to do "cosmetic surgery" for the navel. Some people feel that their navel shape is not good-looking, so they go for plastic surgery, and some people can draw. These are all practices that hurt the navel, and if there is infection during the operation, the consequences will be more serious.
