The central point of body in between Amashaya (location of undigested food) and Pakwashaya (location of digested food) is termed as Nabhi.[1] In classical text of Ayurveda, scattered references regarding Nabhi Shareer is available. But because of intense importers all most all Acharya has considered Nabhi as anatomical landmark to identify the position of various organ. In which Acharya Vagbhata quotes Nabhi as Pitta Sthana.[2] Even though the Dosha are stated to be present all over the body.
