The document discusses applying cannabis oil to the belly button, known as the Pechoti method. It has roots in ancient Ayurvedic medicine which saw the belly button as an important healing point. While no scientific studies have been done, proponents believe the many nerves connected to the belly button allow absorption of cannabinoids. Potential benefits include relief from pain, inflammation and digestive issues. More research is still needed to determine its effectiveness.

Cannabis Oil on Your Belly Button – Does it
Work?
People are constantly looking for new ways to use cannabis. Especially when it comes to medicinal
purposes. Most will stick to the more known uses, like smoking, vaping, edibles, sublingual
applications, and topicals. But some would like to nd additional methods for many reasons. One
of these alternative methods is the application of oil on the belly button. The practice of rubbing oil
on the belly button is not new. But due to the access of information on the internet, belly button
healing options, has surfaced and sparked an interest. The question is if it has bioavailability and
scienti c value?
Why the Belly Button Sparks Interest?
The belly button often gets overlooked, but it is actually the very rst connector between the
mother and the unborn child. Many see the belly button as the focal point for sound health for
body, mind, and spirit. The belly button is near the center of your abdomen and around your
center of gravity. It sits over the intestines and major lymph nodes and blood vessels. It is close to
the vagus nerve responsible for rest and digestive actions. There are also little to no muscles
around and behind the belly button. This makes it an easy access point to your belly. The rest of
the body connects to the belly button by facial trains that cross near to it. Navels are particularly

important re exology points that stimulate the whole body. For this reason, many healers use oils
on the belly button to harness the powers of the belly button. This method is called the Pechoti
Method.
What is the Pechoti Method and Where does it come from?
Both medicinal cannabis and the belly button theory nd its roots in Ayurvedic medicine. These
theories are based on the holistic and natural approach based on the ancient medicinal practices
of Indian healers. Ayurvedic medicine normally uses products derived from plants but can include
animal, metal, and mineral products too. It also includes a healthy lifestyle, diet, and exercise.
Health practitioners believe that the belly button is especially important because of the Pechoti
gland. That is why healing through the belly button is called the Pechoti method.
The belly button connects to 72 000 nerves throughout the body. Unfortunately, modern science
and medicine have a hard time nding the Pechoti gland. It still remains a mystery, but it doesn´t
mean there is no value to the Pechoti method. Putting topical cannabis on the belly button poses
no threat and may have certain bene ts.
How CBD Oil could Work on the Belly Button
CBD oil is an excellent substitute for conventional medicine. It is highly e ective in treating an
array of ailments. In many ways, it is used sublingual, but there are some that just cannot stand
the taste of cannabis oil. These people are constantly looking for new ways to digest their cannabis
medicine. This is where the Pechoti method comes in handy because now it can be taken through
the navel too.
The naval is able to distribute some of the cannabinoids, fatty acids, and essential oils to the body.
When CBD oil is dabbed onto the naval, it gets absorbed through the numerous receptors in the
gut. The cannabinoids get slowly absorbed and are helpful for certain medical conditions.
Transdermal application is useful for in ammation, skin conditions, and recovery.
Dr. Lakisha Jenkins was interviewed by High Times. She is an herbalist and naturopathic doctor.
She believes that certain medical conditions could bene t from a belly button approach. The belly
button approach is speci cally related to the endocrine system and hormones. Absorbing THC-rich
oils would also have no intoxicating e ects as it works a lot like a suppository.
Due to the 72 000 veins running through and around the belly button that is connected to various
organs and tissues, CBD oil can be absorbed by the blood vessels and travel in a non-invasive
manner quickly throughout the body.

Afterthoughts
As there are no scienti c studies done yet on the Pechoti method, the success of the method is
mostly based on experience. The belly button method might not be as bioavailable as edibles or
inhalation of cannabis. This does not mean that you cannot experience with dabbing some

OPINION
Why Asia is the Next Frontier for Big Cannabis
With almost 86 million people across the region consuming pot on an annual basis, and with the consumption of medical cannabis
alone expected to grow quicker in Asia than in other regions, the report states that Asia can certainly achieve the $5.8 billion value
by 2024 provided that other countries legalize it either recreationally or medically.
