    The navel of Venus (Umbilicus rupestris) is a spontaneous plant belonging to the Crassulaceae family, subfamily of the Cotyledonoideae. It is a plant that is easy to recognize, due to the typical disc shape of the leaves with a dimple in the center that resembles a navel (Umbilicus), with the vulgar nomenclature dedicated to the Greek divinity of beauty.
    Translated by
    The navel of Venus is a plant that has various uses in folk medicine.
    The poultice obtained from the leaves can be used to treat burns, chilblains, sores, insect bites and superficial ulcers.
