the reason why people weren't "allowed" to shower in the olden days was because the poor shower facilities as compared to modern days, e.g. they had to go to the river, or use well water, etc, and there wasn't hair dryer for them. A lot of TCM doctors have already debunked this confinement rule and they mentioned it is perfectly alright to bathe/shower (even without the herbal bath) in current times, as long as we dry ourselves & blow dry our hair immediately after bath. So I will still shower daily to prevent infection and stay hygienic for my baby, especially going to be breastfeeding.
