[quote=GUEST10213,414439]The idea behind not showering for 1 month after giving birth is to prevent the development of aches, pains & sickness as you grow older...I guess kind of like arthritis. Just because you can't shower doesn't mean you can't wipe yourself down with a wash cloth (as do many patients in hospitals who require bed baths because they're immobile). They don't really smell up the house. There are also restrictions on what you can eat; however, I've never heard ANYTHING about only eating pourridge. That's just silly. I personally wouldn't be able to handle not showering for that long; however, people of Asian descent have done this for a long time and believe it has preventative effects. Just because it's a different culture doesn't mean it's wrong. Likewise, they think you're crazy for showering because you're risking your health for 1 month's comfort.[/quote]
