Ayurveda Bath Tips: According to Ayurveda, bathing should start from the feet. First of all people should pour water on their feet, then hands, back and finally on the head. This exercise balances the blood circulation in the body and prevents many problems. The correct way of bathing is beneficial for both body and mind.

According to Ayurveda, people should first pour water on their feet while bathing.
Ayurveda Health Tips: Most people pour water on their head first while bathing. You too must have done this many times. People think that this is the right way to take bath, but in Ayurveda this method is not considered good for health. In Ayurveda, great importance has been given to the correct direction and order of pouring water while bathing. Bathing in the wrong way can imbalance the Vata, Pitta and Kapha doshas in the body, which can lead to cold, cough or skin related problems. If you also pour water on your head first while bathing, then you must know some things about Ayurveda.
According to Ayurveda, pouring cold or hot water on the head while bathing can be harmful. Pouring water directly on the head has a sudden effect on the nerves of the brain and blood circulation can become unbalanced. Apart from this, cold water can increase the risk of cold and headache. Therefore the order of bathing is very important. According to Ayurveda experts, bathing should be started from feet and ankles. With this, the body gradually becomes able to tolerate cold or hot water. By pouring water on the feet, blood circulation remains fine and the body parts gradually get balanced according to the heat or coldness of the water.
After feet, hands, arms, torso and back should be washed with water. By bathing in this sequence, all the body parts gradually adapt to the sensations of water and according to Ayurveda, Vata and Kapha doshas remain controlled. In this sequence, blood flow on the skin also increases evenly. In the last step of bathing, water should be poured on the head and face. Due to this, water has a balanced effect on the brain and eyes and gives a feeling of freshness. This is considered very important in Ayurveda, because pouring water on the head too soon can increase cold, headache or other health problems.
According to Ayurveda, use neither too cold nor too hot water while bathing. The water should be lukewarm. After bathing, the body should be completely dried and do not stand straight in the cold air. These methods are beneficial for the health of the skin and body and also increase the immunity. According to Ayurveda, the correct sequence of bathing is extremely beneficial for both health and freshness. A little carelessness while bathing can spoil your health. Therefore it is important to be cautious.
