So have you ever thought about things that seem like common sense, but aren’t? For example… how do you bathe with oil?
People talk about taking a nice, hot oil bath after work. You see pictures of women with their dry hair pinned up while they soak in the bath. So… I assume they are not showering before they seal their own filth on their body with oil. Or does the oil cleanse in its own way?
After all, the Romans bathed with olive oil right? So much oil that they scraped it off their skin with a piece of wood. Was their hair just greasy all the time?
Mixing oil and soap of course seems to defeat the point of either.
One would assume one’s mother and grandmother would be consulted, but I feel their answer would be tradition, not a legit explanation.
Experimentation may be required. I did experiment with coconut oil when I tried the no soap, water only experiment… however because of the solid nature of the coconut oil I had difficulty applying it without over applying it in the shower, and I only bathed with the oil once. It did not prove to be effective for controlling body odor.
