Theme:
Bathing practice has been a critical consideration for health and survival of people around the world since ancient times. The powerful impact of pirts on health and wellbeing has unsurprisingly led to mystical beliefs and customs surrounding this bathing practice. Among those, strict rules of upkeep and maintenance have been established to preserve the benefits of pirts. Modern science has studied the upkeep and maintenance principles established by pirts practitioners through the ages and confirmed their effectiveness and importance.
