The first thing one should do after getting up from the bed in the morning is to wash one’s face, but if done in a scientific way, the very washing of the face has a two-fold benefit.
The right method is to take water, rather cold water, from a bucket of water kept during the night to cool. Water should be kept not in a plastic bucket, but a metallic one, to get cooled. Get a mug of water from the bucket with one hand and fill up your mouth completely with water, with the help of the other hand.
With mouth full and closed with tight lips, now wash the face with water from the mug four or five times to cool up the face and then throw out the water from the mouth. Now rub the face with your hand to warm up the cooled face.
Then again fill the mouth with water and repeat the washing-of-the-face process a number of times, say 5 to 6 times, each time warming the face up before splashing it with cold water. After the complete wash rub the mouth dry with a towel to bring warmth on the face.
In this process of washing the face with the mouth full of water, a number of times, you have brought freshness to the face. The reason is that during the night-long sleep, the blood-circulation in the body slows down.
As you get up, blood circulation is restored in all parts of the body except the face, with your body’s movement to the bath-room and even afterwards. The face does not get its blood-circulation restored unless washed with cold water, and better washed in the manner described.
The two-fold benefit that you get from this face-wash is firstly that with the blood-circulation restored in the face, your face becomes cold-proof.
With an un-washed face moving out in the changed weathers, one is likely to catch cold, due to lack of circulation of blood in the face. Secondly, it serves as a good treatment for the restoration of eyesight to a weak-sight person and to others it keeps their eyes in good form.
