Some smells are indicators of future illness. If you aren’t cleaning your self in some way you will get sick. Even animals clean themselves. You don’t need a lot of water. Sponge baths, natural soaps, smoke baths. All sorts of stuff.

Don’t confuse “natural” for good. If you are dirty you smell bad. Being sweaty and mildewy is literally just bad for you. Even cats know to wash themselves lol

Being sweaty daily is normal and fine but like constantly not cleaning is just bad for you lol

I am not advocating for anything here but an awareness of how much of our society is an unnatural product of culture and social communication.

Mental framing can make you hate the presence of something totally natural and normal. Where else can we see that effect at work? That's the question I'm asking here, I don't want this falling down some kind of weird slope where I'm arguing against fucking bathing.
