Disgusting Truth About Hygiene In Mongol Empire

From the perspective of many of their contemporaries, to say nothing of modern observers, Mongol hygiene seems rudimentary, at best. The Mongols revered water to such an extent that it prevented them from disrupting or polluting it. As a result, they spent most, if not all, of their lives unkempt and unwashed. Compounded by beliefs about the healing properties of animals, their dietary habits, and a decidedly non-Western approach to personal and public hygiene, the Mongols practiced unique methods of cleanliness, which appeared gross to many outsiders.
