Bathing pellets (摶, *tú-guān* fanqie; the Tongsu wen says: 'Rolling with the hands is called 摶; meaning it can be rolled into a ball.' According to the customs of the Western Regions, when bathing is first completed, they crush various fruits or herbs with ghee into a pellet (摶) to rub and wipe the body, making it moist and smooth and dispelling wind, etc., hence it is named bathing pellet (浴摶)).
