Bathing Tips: According to Ayurveda and Naturopathy, the way we bathe can have a significant impact on our physical and energetic well-being. Acharya Manish, a renowned naturopathy expert, explains the importance of the order in which water is poured over the body and highlights a surprising practice: pouring water into the navel first.
Why the Navel (Nabhi) Matters
In ayurveda, the navel is considered the center of vital energy in the body. It houses many nerve endings and blood vessels, and is connected to digestive and reproductive organs. Pouring water here first can have multiple benefits:
Energizes the Body: Activates the body’s energy centers and improves circulation.
Stimulates Digestion: The warmth and hydration around the navel help support digestive fire (Agni).
Balances the Doshas: Helps in maintaining equilibrium of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, which are essential for overall health.
How to Bathe According to Naturopathy
Acharya manish recommends the following steps:
Pour Water on the Navel First: Start with lukewarm water, gently massaging the area.
Head and Face Next: Rinse the head, face, and ears to awaken senses.
Upper Body: Move to shoulders, chest, and arms, promoting blood circulation.
Lower Body Last: Pour water on the abdomen, thighs, legs, and feet.
Benefits of This Method
Activates energy and boosts metabolism
Improves blood flow and digestion
Enhances relaxation and mental clarity
Aligns with traditional Ayurvedic wisdom for holistic well-being
Extra Tip:
Using lukewarm water instead of cold water is recommended, especially during winter, as it prevents shock to the system and supports natural detoxification.
