The Yao people in remote villages of Libo County, southwest China's Guizhou Province, use medicated baths to withstand the cold, eliminate fatigue and prevent disease.

In the past, the Yao people had to live in harsh conditions where cold weather and poisonous snakes were common. They put more than 30 kinds of Chinese herbal medicine in the bath mixture, which can assist in dispelling insects and curing diseases.
