 Water treatments - useful curative, preventive and hygienic means, and undoubtedly one of the greatest pleasures in life. What you need to wash, to our enlightened age is no doubt, no one. And not only in our century, according to some historical evidence, even primitive people understand this truth nemudrenyh and possibly selected campsites where was the source, and used it not only for drinking.
And in ancient Greece was popular goddess Hygieia (the daughter of Asclepius, god healer) - the goddess of health and cleanliness, by the way, science is "hygiene" gained its name precisely in honor of the goddess.
There were, however, in the history of humanity troubled times, when the usefulness of washing the body some grim person questioned, but fortunately not all share this view, and people continued to swim in natural water sources, baths, baths, tubs, tubs and ... in baths. Of course, to do this years ago 100-200 was not as easy as it is now, so even a lovely lady took a bath and generally not washed every day.
Actively and often wash people began only in the XIX century. The reason for this was, according to some researchers, the industrial revolution and as a result, spoil the environment. Across Europe, puffed factories, roared locomotives and steamships appeared road transport. Gradually, the air was filled with smoke and soot. The excretory system of man began to work harder than the more "environmentally friendly" last century to preserve the purity of the skin, hair, and does not scare away the surrounding views and the smell, everything had to be washed more often.
But people in those years have not yet experienced the "miracles" of chemistry, among which to live, and that we have to eat. Not surprisingly, we just have to wash it every day, and sometimes twice a day, without this hygienic procedure just hard to feel comfortable and confident.
Shower or bath? And should we choose?
Of course, the shower - wonderful, light and quick hygienic procedure. Assuming it can be every day, or even twice a day - morning and before bedtime. In the morning shower (especially contrast) copes with the task to shake off sleep and become active and vigorous, and in the evening a warm shower to cleanse will help to relax and unwind after a busy day.
Contrast shower - a great quenching not only for vessels that are more flexible, but also for skin that looks younger, gaining elasticity and healthy color. Strengthens the nervous system and increases immunity. Not to mention the direct appointment of the soul - to clean the skin, washing away dirt, sweat, dead skin flakes - and the challenge it copes with detergent and sponges.
Yes, the shower - that's great, but the warm, gentle bath it is unlikely to replace. At a time when most people have both a shower and bath, the latter was not so much a means to wash, how much magic ritual to relax, de-stress, purify the soul and body.
