, Rain and infection: The month of Sawan is of rain. During this time, the risk of fungal infection and skin diseases increases due to moisture and dirt. The tools used in the salon are also expected to spread infection. In such a situation, these infections can be avoided by not cutting beard and hair, because hair acts as a natural barrier.
, Ayurveda opinion: In Ayurveda, body care is also emphasized according to the weather. During the rainy season, the body’s immunity becomes somewhat weak, which increases the risk of external infections.
