Question

hygiene for health
creating connections social studies: world history i
personal hygiene isnt just a matter of
feeling clean and smelling fresh; today,
experts understand that bathing, hand -
washing, and tooth - brushing also kills
germs that can cause disease. but as far
back as 3,000 years ago, historians say,
personal hygiene was an important part of a
medicine system in ancient india called
ayurveda.
the word ayurveda comes from the
sanskrit words ayur, which means \life,\ and
veda, which means \science\ or
\knowledge.\ ayurveda was based on a
belief that diseases are caused by
imbalance or stress. ancient ayurvedic
medicine focused on creating a balance between mind, body, spirit, and the
environment. doctors in ancient india believed that impurities had to be
eliminated from the body to increase immunity and resistance to disease
and to help people stay healthy.
theres evidence that the ritual we call shampooing started in ancient india.
back then, people were massaging their heads with a blend of herbs and oil,
not only to get clean and shiny hair but also, it was thought, to get a good
nights sleep. in fact, the word shampoo comes from the hindi word champo,
meaning \to massage or knead.\ this ancient hair care ritual spread to other
parts of the world after european traders observed the practice in india.
doctors in ancient india also recommended that people massage their
bodies with sesame oil, mustard oil, or coconut oil, claiming that this would
lead to baby soft skin and be beneficial for joints, muscles, and blood
