Diljit Dosanjh's Nightly Neem and Mustard Oil Routine
Diljit Dosanjh, a popular actor, shared that he applies neem and mustard oil to his belly button every night.
He believes this helps his overall health because everything is connected to the belly button.
A doctor named Dr. Shweta Nakhawa said that while this is a traditional practice, there isn't much scientific proof that it actually helps.
She added that if it doesn't cause any irritation, it's generally harmless.
So, while Diljit finds it beneficial, the doctor suggests it's more of a harmless ritual than a proven health practice.
Diljit Dosanjh applies neem and mustard oil to his belly button every night.
He believes this practice helps his overall well-being.
Dr. Shweta Nakhawa, a dermatologist, states there is limited scientific evidence supporting the health benefits of this practice.
The skin around the navel acts as a barrier and does not function as a special pathway for delivering nutrients.
The practice is generally harmless if it does not cause irritation.
