Precautions:

The navel is the place most afraid of catching cold. The navel is different from other parts of the abdomen. There is no muscle and fat tissue under the navel, but there are rich blood vessels. As the last closed part of abdominal wall, skin is thin, sensitive, permeable and fast to absorb. Because the barrier function is poor, it is a weak place in the human body, and it is easy to catch a cold.

Pay more attention to the warmth of the navel when sleeping, so as not to cause diarrhea or a cold. Especially young women, especially menstrual women, blood vessels are in a state of congestion. Wearing a navel dress is the most likely to cause pelvic blood vessels to contract due to cold, resulting in poor menstrual blood flow. After a long time, it will cause dysmenorrhea, prolonged menstruation and irregular menstruation.
