Nābhi-adjacent abdominal focus

Digestive-centre proxy

The navel-adjacent focus provides a central abdominal reference for reading a whole-body oiling sequence. It is a target-organ projection of an oil-and-region classification and should not be interpreted as a digestive diagnosis or a required pressure point.

Suśruta Saṃhitā (primary_canonical)

Śārīrasthāna 6 includes nābhi among the named vital regions and distinguishes marma injury classes; the displayed point is an adjacent visual proxy, not an oiling instruction from Suśruta.

Caraka Saṃhitā (primary_canonical)

Sūtrasthāna 5 situates abhyaṅga within daily regimen, while the digestive-centre placement here remains an editorial convention rather than a canonical coordinate.
