How true is it that contact with water or washing hair will cause wind in the body and lead to headache and rheumatism later in life? Does using herbs in my water help with regards to this?

Hmmm i don't think this is part of Malay confinement practices. And alot of my Chinese friends don't follow this "pantang" anymore. I read that this taboo originated from ancient China where water would freeze quickly and hot/warm water is not easily available. So in that case, yes there is some truth to it. But I reckon with warm water easily available, showering or taking baths during confinement should be okay. Immediately dry yourself after shower and all should be okay :)
