PERSONAL HYGIENE AND SANITATION IN ANCIENT INDIA
Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Hygiene is a very important part of life as it keeps each one of us healthy both physically and mentally. Some people have a tendency to believe that modern man knows best and that our ancestors were unaware of the hygiene practices. Ancient Indians took very much care to care for their skin, cleanliness and hygiene has been imbibed into the Indian culture since the Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro times. Cleanliness is equally important when it comes to food and it’s preparation. One of the ancient civilizations of the world is Indus Valley Civilization in India. The drainage system was one of the most remarkable features of the Harappan city.
