Natural shampoo
Question
Namaste,
In a recent answer you mentioned that one should not use soap. I am glad that i am going to get rid of soap now
Does it apply to shampoo too? i really hate using shampoo. I am sure our ancestors who used to live a simple life style never ever used anything like shampoo. Am i right?
What about oil? Our body has got natural oils. Are they sufficient or shall we use some oil? if yes, then what did our ancestors used for this?
I am asking all these things because i want to live a true Bhartiya lifestyle with brahmacharya.
Answer
1. One might use soap nut powder or 'shikakai' powder as an alternative to shampoo.
2. Soaking the head overnight with warm oil, twice a week is beneficial. It releases excess heat. It is to be followed with a head bath the next morning. Oil can also be applied to the face and body with the same frequency.
