Why navel cleaning?

Human navel forms when the doctor cuts the umbilical cord. Depending on how the cut heals, we may have a protrusion or a navel. The navel is also a special acupuncture point on the human body because it is the only one that can be touched by the hands and visible with the eyes.

What is in our navel?

The belly button is concave and very dirty. In the belly button, there is gastric fibrosis, hair, dead skin cells and even bacteria. The results of a study showed that there are more than 2,300 types of bacteria in the navel, including staph, which can lead to infections, Marimonas bacteria, previously found only in the ocean or bacteria that chefs have. Used to make cheese.

The reason should navel hygiene

Most of the bacteria in your navel are harmless and the waste in the navel even helps the umbilical cord to maintain a normal temperature. Without these wastes the heat at the navel will be rapidly dispersed, damaging the gastrointestinal function.

However, when this waste accumulates too much, the umbilical cord becomes unhygienic, smelly, and even fungal infection can lead to itching, redness and white discharge.

So we need to clean the navel. But incorrectly using the navel or cleaning the navel will lead to the risk of skin damage and inflammation. This allows bacteria to enter the bloodstream through the navel.

So, you need to gently clean the navel with soft, moist objects or rub softly gently under the tap once a week.
