In the Ancient time, where there is no metal shower head for us to shower, but we use Bouget to shower. It was still a shower from head to toe in the ancient time. you use the Bouget to shower one by one and sit in the wood tub just exactly like European in the ancient time. right?

But the thing is, when it comes to birth time, the mother couldn't wash themself from head to toe like the regular days. Can only wipe by the wash cloth.

Yeah I think this topic is very strange to the Western. But in Asia it is very normal to them.
I remember I talk to my Korean friend about Western mother take shower after birth. Then my Korean friend was open her eyes so huge and shock and put her hands on the chest and say "WHAT??? are they insance?" I told her, hey they are not insance. It is the same as the theory different between Western medication and Eastern medication. A lot of Eastern medication theory are so much different from the Western medication. For example the West did not have Acupuncture until now. But Acupuncture treatment is our Eastern mediation. We don't like taking oral medication unless we really need it. We avoid oral stuffs. Western world, we have so many oral medication. whenever you got a headache, you head to Tyleno, Advil and etc... but for us we head to essential oil(Chinese oil) we apply on the head and the area we need. Then the pain is gone in a few min. We don't like oral medication, we afraid of the long term side effect you might get like addiction and etc...
