Bee ; Flower: Soap can be purchased in chinatown or on line. It is easy on the skin and pleasant smelling. One type is called sandalwood, but there are several others. Soap loosens up the debris and lets it wash away. Peace and good health. Three times a day is ok but please be careful not to develop a compulsive attitude about it.
