00:00 If we have a habit, it's probably taking a bath everyday.
00:07 Cuscus here, cuscus there.
00:10 Avoid sticky, avoid body odor.
00:13 How many times do you take a bath in a day?
00:20 Two.
00:22 About twice.
00:23 In a day?
00:24 Just once.
00:25 Before going to work.
00:29 Two.
00:30 Mostly just once, but after going to work, twice.
00:34 According to experts, it's not bad to take a bath once.
00:38 We take a bath two or three times in a day.
00:41 In fact, we Filipinos should take a bath everyday.
00:47 Because of the hot climate here in the country.
00:50 Actually, there are no hard and fast rules with regards to taking a bath everyday.
00:56 Since the Philippines is generally hot and humid,
01:00 it would be recommended to have a bath one to two times a day.
01:05 But actually, once is enough just to clean our body.
01:09 This is for hygienic purposes.
01:12 But there are some who don't take a bath everyday.
01:17 Not because they are lazy, but because they are afraid of getting a rash.
01:24 This is the story of 32-year-old hair stylist, Rojelio.
01:28 When he comes home from work, he doesn't take a bath.
01:33 He's afraid of getting a rash.
01:35 Rojelio is an all-around hair stylist in a salon in Quezon City.
01:41 From cutting, to plaiting, and blow-drying,
01:46 and even to dyeing the customer's hair.
01:50 Even when he's in the salon, he uses his whole body.
01:55 That's why when Rojelio comes home, he's not just tired and has no energy.
02:02 He also has a lot of pain in his joints.
02:05 My neck hurts sometimes.
02:08 So when I come home from work,
02:12 because my hands are sometimes numb,
02:14 sometimes when I'm plaiting, I can't move my hands.
02:18 I can't feel my force.
02:21 I can't feel that I have strength.
02:24 Sometimes it's my feet, my muscles.
02:27 Sometimes, we're standing for a long time.
02:30 I can feel my feet.
02:32 Because of his work, his roots in his hands are more noticeable.
02:38 He says it's because of the plaiting.
02:42 Before, I only noticed my roots when I was working for a few years.
02:49 Sometimes, my roots show up in my hands.
02:51 It's hot, and wet.
02:53 So it shows up.
02:55 Aside from his problems with his hands,
02:58 he also started to have a runny eye.
03:01 He thinks it's because of his frequent bathing at night when he comes home from work.
03:10 Sometimes, I can't see my eyes when I'm far away.
03:14 When I'm tired, I'll get dizzy.
03:16 Sometimes, I'll take a bath.
03:17 Because we can't avoid taking a bath,
03:20 especially when we're walking.
03:22 We're walking on the spot, right?
03:24 So sometimes, I take a bath that's not right.
03:27 Now, Rogelio's escape when his joints hurt is called "Ointment".
03:34 He just passes through the painful parts with a massage.
03:39 But the question is,
03:41 the pain and the pain of the joints,
03:44 and the blurring of the vision,
03:46 is it possible because of the plaiting?
03:49 Do you believe it?
03:52 I know that when you're tired, you'll get a plaiting once you take a bath.
03:57 Sometimes, I cook, and I wash right away.
04:01 Because that's when the plaiting started.
04:03 My muscles are sore, and it's hard to move.
04:07 Doc, what do you think?
04:09 Is there a basis for the term "plaiting"?
04:11 Plaiting is a common folklore in our country.
04:15 And it is actually not true.
04:17 Plaiting could be attributed to muscle spasm,
04:22 which is a medical term for involuntary and forceful contractions of the muscles.
04:29 So it's not "plaiting", but "muscle spasm".
04:33 Muscle spasm is a common symptom of cold, dehydration,
04:39 electrolyte imbalance, and overuse or overfatigue of the muscles.
04:45 Doc, for our hearts that are always tired or from the heat,
04:50 is it okay to take a bath right away?
04:53 There's nothing that's really prohibited with regards to us coming from outside.
04:58 I would personally suggest that the patient or that person should rest first
05:03 before taking a bath, right after going back from work or from the heat.
05:08 Generally, according to studies, there are no complications that can be obtained
05:13 if we take a bath after coming from work.
05:16 What about those who are afraid to take a bath when there's a cold?
05:21 Is it true that they'll go crazy?
05:24 That's not true.
05:25 Actually, it's better for women to take a bath when there's a cold because it's for hygiene.
05:31 So we can avoid further infections if we take a bath.
05:36 As well as, there are also studies that suggest that the warm water we take a bath in,
05:43 it could actually cause some relaxation to our abdominal muscles.
05:47 So the abdominal cramps and dysmenorrhea will be relieved.
05:54 What about those who take a bath on the computer and read a book?
05:58 Will their eyes get blurry when they get a cold?
06:01 That's not true.
06:03 However, I would suggest that the patient should rest right after doing or giving stress to their eyes.
06:11 The blurry eyes usually have medical conditions that usually cause that.
06:17 And it's not included in the bath or reading the face right after reading.
06:24 What about those who don't believe in the doctor?
06:27 It's important to consult a specialist.
06:30 If we have symptoms that we attribute to the symptoms mentioned earlier,
06:37 it's better to consult a doctor to give us a solution and also to give us advice.
06:44 It's important to listen to the experts.
06:51 Even if it's just five days of bathing.
