OF 0017.25 Personal Hygiene: A History of Cleanliness, Health, and Ritual

Exploring personal hygiene practices is essential for maintaining good health and preventing the spread of disease. Is hygiene simply about cleanliness or is it linked to religious practices? The Greeks defined hygiene as the embodiment of good health, while the French saw it as the 'art of health'. From public baths in ancient Greece, Rome, and Japan to the development of soap and the Saturday night bath as a status symbol in the 1950s, bathing has become a social construct, an obsession, and even an architectural phenomenon. This research will inspire you to examine your daily hygiene routines and their significance.
