Although it doesn't mean that we cannot take in whatever way we want to. In this article I will share you the six reason you are bathing in a wrong way and the ways to fix it. Reading this article to the end you will have the clear ideas so as to When? How? How many times you should take bath so that it can heal your body not harms it.6. Bathing with hot water.And:- This may be a shocker for someone of you but according to Ayurveda no matter what season it is a healthy person should never use hot water for bathing. Always take cold water bath. And when I say cold water I do not mean ice cooled water, normal tap running water. Hot water bath doesn't even heighten your body senses but instead it makes your body lethargic. Hot water bath may also become the reason for increased dark circles, weak digestion, low immunity, and stress. More so pour hot water on head is seriously damaging your hair, head and eyes. Doing so you are bound to face excessive hair fall and even serious health ailments like weak vision, brain disorder etc. Only in serious health condition like Arthritis- hot water can be used. Although if you are not able to get over this habit of hot water bathing then atleast switch to mild lukewarm water. But in any case pouring hot or warm water on the head and eyes is strictly prohibited.
Now the ideal situation for bathing :-If you are using cold water in bathing then pour water from head to toe. While if you are using mild lukewarm water in bathing then wash yourself from down to up . No it is not a superstition but it maintains proper blood flow avoiding any possibilities of blood clot. So try to switch to cold water as it is a best way to energize you and your body early in the morning.5. Bathing after meal.And:- Experiment on your body on two different ways. Take bath at the same time of the day.On Day 1: Eat before you bath.On Day 2: Eat after you bath.Observe how your respond whether you feel any difference in the terms of hunger and digestions. Most likely you will feel better in the latter day . This is because the process of digestion consumes a lot of energy and requires plenty of blood flow towards the stomach. But when you take bath right after a meal, the body temperature decreases. Now to maintain the temperature of the skin even the blood from stomach is transported to the skin. As a result your digestive process slows down, your intestine becomes weaker and you end up suffering from constipation and other stomach related issues. Avoid bathing after meals as it will definitely cause digestive disorders. If at all you have to take bath after a meal make sure you have a gap of atleast two hours.4. Not massaging before bathAnd:- Oil massage before bath is one of the hidden secret for an effective bath. When we massage our body with oil it easily attract the microorganisms and toxins from our body and let them came to the surface of the body and removes them successfully. No wonder we have traditionally in India bathing never started with water. It always end up with it.
Another mistake that many people do after bathing they very gently dry out their body with the towel. Actually the towel should be rub with slight pressure on the surface of the whole body. Doing this two things will remove the old layer helping the new cells to come up.2. Wrong duration of bathing:-And:- How much time do you spend in bathing. Are you the one who enters the bathroom opens the shower while hurriedly apply the soap then washes off and comes out running. Or you are the one who spend hours in the bathroom continuously splashing water over your body. I believe you should fall in any of the two categories. Bathing is not just meant to cleanse the physical body but also rejuvenate the mind and the soul. It should be carried out calmly purposefully. It is only then that one can reaps it's benefits out of it. Ancient text even suggests to practice deep breathing while bathing. Although it does not means to spend to much water, pouring two much water or applying excess soap, it eventually dry out the skin and make it rough. Even bathing too many times a day is not mandatory. To bathe everyday is compulsory. Once in the morning is ideal so that you can feel fresh energetic all day long.
Stop Using Toxic Products
1. Using toxic products:-Ans:- Which bathing soap, body wash, shower gel, shampoo do you use. Have you ever gone through the ingredients list of the products that you used while bathing. You will be shocked to know that over 95% of the Indian market have the harsh chemicals like minerals oils, sulfates, parabens, silicons, artificial fragrances and colors. They do more harm than good because we use this products on the daily basis, slowly their ingredient deep into the blood causing rough skin, hair-fall, dandruff, allergies, and sometimes deadly disease.

Bathing is energizing, it is healing or purifying all you need to do bath in the right way. If you are looking for toxin free natural products.Originally Written By:- Fitness Yodha.
