I've been putting 34 drops of oil in my navel at night because I heard it's supposed to improve circulation, and I've done this 45 times already. I'm really curious if this is good for me, or if there are any potential drawbacks I should be aware of. Should I continue with this routine or consider stopping? Would love some guidance on whether there are any actual benefits or risks involved.
