The history of personal hygiene and purity reveals how closely we are linked to our past. This book covers the global history of human body-care from the Neolithic. From pre-historic grooming rituals to New Age medicine, from ascetics to cosmetics, it provides a look at how different cultures have interpreted and striven for personal cleanliness.
