Yuzu Bath

Tomorrow, Decmber 22 is Toji, the winter solstice of 2015. The day has the longest night and the shortest day.

In Japan, there's a custom of bathing with yuzu ( a kind of citrus fruit) on Toji.
The yuzu bath is called yuzuyu, or yuzuburo, and it's believed that taking a yuzuyu guards against colds, makes your skin smooth, warms up your body, and relaxes your mind because of the strong aroma and the oil from its skin.
Do you have similar customs to our yuzuburo in your country?
