The navel, umbilicus, commonly known as the navel eye, is medically called the Shenqi acupoint, which is essentially a scar left after the fetus is born and the umbilical cord falls off.

- 1. Pay attention to the umbilical hygiene: In summer, the sweat flow is large, and the dirt on the body is easily deposited with the sweat entering the umbilical eye. Scrub the umbilical cord and umbilical eye with warm water and neutral bath liquid every day to remove dirt and prevent germs from breeding. However, it should not be rubbed vigorously, so as not to hurt the skin and cause infection.
- 2, pay attention to "wind": the umbilicus is the gastrointestinal part, easy to get cold, so we must prevent the umbilical from getting cold. It is best not to wear a navel when the weather is cooler in the morning and evening or when it is rainy and cold; do not blow the cool air of the fan or air conditioner against the navel; do nt wear too fast when riding a motorcycle or bike ; When sleeping should cover a thin object or use an umbilical cord.
- 3. Prevent accidental damage to the umbilicus: The umbilical area is exposed. Due to lack of clothing protection, it is often prone to accidental damage, such as burns, abrasions, and scratches. Therefore, be careful in your daily life or work.
- 4. Try not to decorate: the greedy MMs often feel that wearing umbilical clothes is not enough to attract eyeballs, and they like to paste patterns on the umbilicus, and even decorate permanent graphics. However, this will cause certain health risks. Because the sticker will hinder the skin's excretory function, it may cause skin diseases such as eczema and sweat rash; the pigment of the decoration often contains some harmful chemical components. So be careful when decorating.
