- By RISHABH THAKUR

The latest social media trend is navel pulling i.e., the act of putting castor oil into your belly button before bed in the hope of improving digestion, sleep, skin clarity, fertility, and even your mood. The navel is now being treated like a secret chakra capable of absorbing magical benefits from an unassuming kitchen staple.
