SUMMARY
Applying vegetable oil to the head and body, followed by a bath after approximately thirty minutes, is a common practice believed to provide a cooling effect. This method is thought to work by dilating blood vessels through the oil application, while the subsequent bath opens pores and enhances circulation. The combination of these effects facilitates heat transfer as the absorbed water evaporates, contributing to a cooling sensation. This practice is similar to the effects induced by mint shampoo.
