In Ayurveda, bathing-or snaana- is a lot more than a simple hygiene practice or a soak in the tub. Bathing is a part of therapeutic and purifying process designed to restore stability to mind and body.Ayurveda nurtures the body inside-out by balancing the forces of the five elements. The daily bath, using the curative power of water, is an essential part of this process.

It is not just Ayurveda that glorifies the work. The primeval Greeks and Romans, for example, treated the bath as a curing activity and ablution remains the precondition for prayer or meditation in many cultures.

Bathing has always enjoyed the status of a sacred activity in Indian life as far back as Vedic civilization. It was in India that European colonizers in the 18th century learnt of and adopted the conception of a daily bath.
