Hello Mariya, I understand that maintaining hygiene is important for both physical health and spiritual well-being, especially with your religious practices. Ayurveda emphasizes balance in all aspects of life, including hygiene, and recommends regular bathing to keep the body clean, especially during the winter when the body tends to become drier and more susceptible to internal imbalances. While ablution is helpful for spiritual purification, physical cleanliness also plays a key role in preventing infections and maintaining overall health. If you feel no discomfort or smell, it might be a personal comfort, but I would advise understanding your body’s needs more deeply. Could you share if you experience any dryness, itching, or irritation in your private areas or other signs of imbalance? Additionally, your diet, lifestyle, and any other concerns, such as fatigue or skin dryness, can affect how your body maintains hygiene naturally.

Dear Mariya,
I understand your concerns about bathing frequency during winter, especially considering your fear of catching a cold and experiencing body pain. Maintaining personal hygiene is essential, and it’s commendable that you perform ablution regularly. However, limiting baths to twice a month may not be sufficient for overall cleanliness.

Bathing frequency can vary a lot for different people, especially in winter, and it's more about personal comfort and hygiene needs. If you're bathing twice a month but doing ablution regularly, your ritual of cleansing can help maintain a basic level of hygiene, so don’t worry too much. But here's a thought – Ayurveda reminds us that warm water baths, even if brief, can be soothing and rejuvenating especially when you're feeling body ache or fear of catching a cold. Adding a few drops of essential oils like eucalyptus or lavender in the bath can be blissful, calming and may help boost immunity a tad bit.
Now, considering you're concerned about smell in private areas, it might be a sign to pay more attention to diet and internal cleansing. Ayurveda emphasizes agni (digestive fire); weak digestion can lead to unwanted smells through the skin. Try including more warm, cooked foods, maybe a pinch of ginger, turmeric, or cumin in your meals. Warm water and herbal teas can do wonders.
On dry wintery days, a quick oil massage with sesame or coconut oil (whichever suits you) before ablutions can protect skin, improve circulation, and help keep unseen dosha imbalances at bay. But, quick thought here: If body pain is persistent or you feel really uneasy, don't hold it in; see a medical professional when needed – patience is great, but knowing when to switch gears is a skill too.
If you want to stick to this routine, then just keep an eye out for any changes in how you feel or smell. Small tweaks to routines and a bit of awareness can go a long way without complicating what works for you. Stay warm, eat well, and just adjust as seasons change.
