Navel displacement, also known as nabhi displacement or navel shift, is a condition where the navel moves from its central position. This phenomenon is often recognized in traditional and alternative medicine, particularly in Ayurvedic and naturopathic practices. Though not widely acknowledged in conventional Western medicine, navel displacement is believed to cause various physical discomforts and ailments.
Causes
The exact cause of navel displacement is not universally agreed upon, but several factors are commonly cited. Physical strain or trauma, such as lifting heavy objects, sudden twisting motions, or falls, can lead to a misalignment of the navel. Additionally, excessive physical activity or a sedentary lifestyle may contribute to this condition. Emotional stress is also considered a potential cause, as it can affect bodily functions and alignment.
