Some people apply oil and fragrant herbal paste (Ubtan) prior to a bath; while others apply the paste while bathing. The use of soaps with chemical ingredients has become common today.
Synthetic ingredients and animal oils are used in today’s chemical soaps. Their Their fragrances too are artificial. Such soaps are Raja-Tama predominant. Use of such soaps creates, at the subtle level, a covering of Raja-Tama around a person’s gross and subtle bodies. This covering attracts the distressing vibrations of negative energies. There is a possibility of distress to the person.
Hence herbal soaps or traditional ubtan should be used for bathing .- Tanuja Thakur
