Before the advent of various shower gels and soaps, people lived healthier lives. They washed themselves with water and possibly soap that they made themselves.
Today, it is hard for most people to imagine not lathering up every day, and the human body has billions of bacteria on the skin and in the intestines, and their natural balance is very important for our health.
Regular contact with dirt teaches the community of bacteria to recognize which are bad and which are not.
The only thing I recommend using is a mild soap made from organic ingredients - says gastroenterologist Robin Chatken.
She believes that most antibacterial soaps are full of strong chemicals that disrupt the balance of bacteria on the skin, and that washing with just water is enough. The only places that should be lathered with organic soap are the armpits and groin.
Chatken claims that impurity is not the cause of disease, but the constant killing of good bacteria, and that disinfecting hands with various gels and wet wipes is also unnecessary, writes the Daily Mail.
For more than 70 years, doctors for skin diseases have been pointing to the potential deterioration of healthy skin, i.e. even more of some skin diseases after using soap, and they have largely contributed to the decrease in demand for soap.
Soaps for intimate care are adapted to the acidity of the vaginal environment. And one more tip: washing the vagina too often with intimate soap also dries out the natural environment and destroys the bacteria that protect us from inflammation! Many gynecologists do not advise any use of soap.
