The navel is the weakest part of the human body against the outside world. My mother told us from childhood that we can’t play with the navel, wash it, or pick it. As a result, our navels are piled with black mud, but can’t the mud in our navels really be dug out?
can you pick your navel
The navel is our memory of the fetus. In essence, it is a scar left after the umbilical cord is cut. It is usually a small depression or a small protrusion. There is only a thin layer of skin between the navel and the abdominal cavity, which is very fragile. Because the navel is a depression with a unique structure, it is easy to hide dirt in the navel. It is understood that the human navel is a bacterial nest, which is parasitic with about 1400 kinds of bacteria. If it is not cleaned in time, it may produce peculiar smell.
However, because the navel is the closest place between the internal organs and the outside world, it is very sensitive. You must not pull it hard, otherwise it is easy to cause abdominal pain. You can try to wipe it gently with a damp cotton swab first, and the action must be light. Just wipe the edge where it is easy to wipe.
In general, you can’t always pick your navel and wash it. Then, if there are too many dirty things in the navel, and there is even a peculiar smell, how should we clean the navel?
three ways to clean your navel
method 1 when taking a bath, first rinse it with warm water, then dip a cotton swab into a small amount of soap or bath milk, gently wipe the navel, and finally rinse the navel again with warm water.
method 2 before taking a bath, smear edible oil or baby oil on the navel, wait until the dirt in the navel is wet, and then use a cotton swab to wipe off the dirt.
method 3 apply sesame oil to the navel, wait until the black matter on the navel is completely softened, then apply baby soap, wash with water, and dry the water with a cotton swab. Repeat until the navel is clean.
It is worth noting that when cleaning the navel, you must clean it with warm water, never cold water, otherwise it is easy to get cold wind into the body. And after cleaning the navel, you must dry it immediately to keep the inside of the navel dry and prevent bacteria from growing. Women should pay attention not to wash their umbilicus during menstruation, otherwise it will easily lead to abdominal coldness, pelvic vascular contraction, and poor menstrual blood flow.
It is worth noting that the navel is also a detector of human health. When the human body has liver cirrhosis, liver ascites, chronic nephritis and other conditions, because the tissue of the navel is relatively soft and thin, when the abdomen is highly swollen, the navel tends to protrude, reminding people of abnormal conditions. It can be seen that the navel is also an important part of human health. We must pay attention to it at ordinary times.
