Did you know that Bathing originated from ritual uses in religion, chivalry, and magic. It was not intended for or associated with physical cleanliness. The proper term for these conditions is ablution. The purpose of ablution is not to remove dirt, but instead the invisible “stains” contracted by touching the dead, and by contact with childbirth, murder, persons of inferior caste, and disease.

The use of baths as a means of ensuring physical cleanliness was first introduced by the ancient Romans. During these times, bathing was a public event. A bathtub was not something one possesed in one’s home. Time passed and the methods of bathing fluctuated between personal and public aspects. As people realized the medical needs associated with bathing, it shifted from a social affair to a very personal one. Public-centered bathings filtered out of lifestyles quickly.

The need to be clean has not always been as pressing as we know it to be today. In fact, the United States is one of the few countries where most citizens (who possess the means) consider a daily bathing to be a necessity. Actually, that bathing has today become a shower. A bath is now a way to relax, not something you do before going to work in the morning. So you see, bathing (in a bathtub, that is) is a ritual that has lasted the test of time and been preserved to be now, almost what it was years ago.

I thought you would find this information easy. Thank you so much, Devin

You are right! there is nothing better than relaxing in a Hot bath to wind down after a day at the office, or a tough day with the kids and or dog. My master bath is my oasis - my granite oasis. A bubble bath and the latest issue of Car and Driver and I am set.
