But this object goes beyond an earring or a simple hoop in the nose because it comes from a rich Hindu tradition that is worth the thought to know.

The septum is a facial perforation performed on the septum, ie on the wall of cartilage that divides the nostrils. In some parts of the Middle East, India and Africa, these accessories have a meaning that goes beyond style or physical appearance. In fact, in antiquity they were considered to have magical properties and that each party had a special power of protection, energy and luck.

In India it is believed that the nose is connected to emotions and affectivity, so rings (called Nath) are an accessory that can not be missing in the bride's trousseau, the day of their wedding. Meanwhile, in some regions of Africa, the nose is a powerful element of the body and the hoops a symbol of fortune, that is why, the bigger the ring, the greater fortune is attracted.
For a few years, celebrities such as Zoë Kravitz, have hit the fashion world with this accessory that has regained strength among singers and fashion bloggers. The advantage is that it is not necessary to drill, but you can get a false ring and change design, style, color and size as many times as you want. Would you dare to use it?

If you decide to make yourself real, you should know that it is a fairly quick process and you do not have to worry so much about the pain. However, this area of the nose is very sensitive, so the recovery process can take time. On the other hand, it is an area prone to infections, since it accumulates many bacteria. That is why it is important to have a good cleaning to prevent mucus build up.
