I think that talking about bathing practices is inappropiate because you imagine women and they are not women. They are the personification of the stars inside the plants, giving them its virtues. This is very important for understanding the Voynich text.
Bathing practices were also governed by the stars. I read parts of a medieval manuscript that were all about when to bathe and how to bathe and astrology was part of the equation. Which means... the women in the VMS might not be personifications of the stars, they may be nymphs demonstrating when and how people should bathe, with astrology as one component, but not necessarily the only one.
