    In ancient times, the frequency of women's bathing still depends on the family, if the princes and nobles can naturally "wash their hair every three days, bathe every five days" and have a large number of maids and slaves around them, if ordinary people may not be so particular, after all, the productivity was low at that time, and hot water was not available to everyone in winter.

    In ancient times, the average number of baths for women was once every 5 days.

    Bathing can remove sweat and oil, eliminate fatigue, relax muscles and invigorate blood, improve sleep, improve metabolic function and disease resistance. And through the immersion of warm water, it is possible to ** certain diseases. The water temperature of the hot bath should not be too high, generally 35 40 warm water is appropriate.

    The number of washes should not be too much, because too many times will wash away all the normal secretion of oil on the surface and the protective flora that normally parasitizes on the surface, which is easy to cause symptoms such as itching, and the resistance will also be weakened because of this, and it is easy to get sick. Bathing is divided into shower and tub bath and tub bath.

    In summer, the human body is vigorous and sweaty, and should be rinsed with warm water once a day. In spring, autumn and winter, the number of baths can vary from person to person. Those who are fat and have strong sebaceous gland secretion can appropriately increase the number of baths.

    In the elderly, the secretion of sebaceous glands decreases, and the number of baths can be appropriately reduced.

    The situation of women in ancient times is different, first of all, the ancients bathed is a very troublesome thing, after the Song Dynasty, there were a lot of bathhouses on the market, and many people also liked to take a bath, but women were in the back house on weekdays, and rarely went to the bathhouse, and some large families would have special bathrooms, but this was for the male owner.

    This kind of bathroom is very troublesome to use once, from boiling water to ready, it takes a lot of time and money at a time, and there are many steps for rich people to take a bath, which is very troublesome, and it is even more troublesome for women to take a bath.

    However, the ancients often used incense, using this way to cover up the smell of their bodies, Han women prefer to take a bath, but their conditions are worse, even if the bathhouse in the Song Dynasty has been very popular, but most people still use cold water to bathe, in the summer is fine, if you wash it in winter, you can't wash it, often take a bath with cold water, no one's body can bear it, so the number of ancient women bathing will not be too much.

    In general, the ancients could not take a bath often due to the influence of living conditions, but since ancient women spent most of their time indoors, they did not need to take on more work, so if they did not take a bath indoors, they would not let their body smell too much.
