Are there any real benefits to "air baths"? Benjamin Franklin reportedly used to take them. He basically just sat around the house naked for a couple of hours. I assume he put a rob on if he had any guests. But is there any real medical benefit? Nudists are welcome to this discussion.

Saves wear and tear on one's normal attire. Might lead to hypothermia, however.

The principal benefit from the procedure described above seems to derive from sitting for a couple of hours, which is very therapeutic, and not wearing the umpteen tight waistcoats and ruffs in which he is usually depicted. Breathing is good for you.

Clothing up due to societal norms is quite discomforting.
Seems sensible for climatic reasons.

Btw, what Soap or Shampoo does one use during an air-bath?
Any Recommendations?

  Awww Thank you for the nice compliment.! I have been away a long while and have noticed  the element of fun missing from forum, and the chat area, where we normally go to get to know other members as well as non serious, or fun questions for a laugh, and subsequently, I have noticed a huge lack of members posting at any given time... and thus I would like to see the forum pick up in membership and get to know members better as well as helping others feel more comfortable exploring their very real science questions. I hope that many may come in here feeling less intimidated and more free to pose and reply to questions, as well, as asking them of the poster and other more knowledgeable folks in here.  Sometimes that little bit of humor that others offer more than I do.. really make it less intimidating for those who come here with maybe less science knowledge wanting to learn in a friendly fun environment.
Now on the more serious side of the original question, they make many brands of dry shampoo to be sprayed onto the hair to help remove that oily look when one is not able to catch their normal shampooing or are in a pinch in a hurry and need  to have a quick refresh... But if you haven't access to a commercial dry spray, you can substitute a simple sprinkle of talcum powder to your oily hair which will give you an extra day or so to get to a water source  to shampoo normally... It works well in a pinch and washes out easily at shampooing time.
