Yeah, this may sound weird, but it's true; putting your private area over steam actually has numerous benefits!
Based on a TikTok, @AVA shares how she does something called 'noni steaming', or translates to vaginal steaming.
What it is, is basically sitting over a pot of boiling water with herbs (underwear-less), and letting one's private area be exposed to the steam that arises from the pot.
In the TikTok, she gets a stool with a hole in the middle, boils a pot of water with fresh mugwort powder from Korea, and then places in underneath the stool.
She then wearing a long skirt (with no underwear)--this is done to trap the heat--sits on the stool, and lets the steam arise into her vagina.
Yoni steaming, as a matter of fact has been used in traditional African, Korean, Chinese, Indonesian and other herbal medicine practices for centuries.
What mugwort is good for: warming properties to increase blood flow to the uterus, which helps reduce cramps, regulate cycles, and support reproductive health.
Besides that, it also has antifungal properties, which helps to maintain the pH balance down there, for reducing odor or any kind of yeast infections.
Based on Eastern medication, mugwort can also help release emotional stagnation held in the womb. So, doing this can reset the ground and help one reconnect with feminine energy.
Other common herbs used in this practice are: wormwood, chamomile, calendula, rosemary, lavender, basil.
