While taking bath, one should pour water on legs or head or shoulder.

In traditional Indian practices and also according to Ayurveda and yoga, it is generally recommended to start bathing by pouring water on your feet first, not on the head directly. Here's the reasoning: --- 🔹 Why start with the legs? 1. Balances body temperature: Pouring water on your legs first helps your body gradually adjust to the water temperature, especially if it is cold. Sudden pouring on the head can shock your nervous system. 2. Improves blood circulation: It helps blood flow adjust from the lower parts upward, which is gentler on the heart. 3. Prevents dizziness or stress: Pouring cold water directly on the head can cause discomfort, dizziness, or even mild shock, especially in older adults or those with blood pressure issues. --- 🔹 Order recommended: 1. Legs and feet 2. Arms and hands 3. Torso (chest, back) 4. Shoulders and neck 5. Head (last) --- 🚿 Exceptions: In hot weather, people sometimes start with the head for quick relief. If you’re doing ritualistic bathing (like in temples or for puja), there may be different traditional sequences depending on the practice.
