Ancient Sanskrit term for the womb which is "yoni".
Vaginal steaming has been around for centuries, and some say it can help increase energy, reduce stress and balance hormones.
“Also known as ‘V-steaming’ or ‘yoni steaming,’ vaginal steaming involves squatting or sitting over a pot of hot, steaming water that is infused with herbs,” explains Dr. Crawford. “A blanket is often wrapped around the lower body to prevent the steam from escaping.”
While this practice is newer to the West, vaginal steam detoxing has been linked to an ancient Greek treatment known as “fumigation.” This method involved sitting over a sealed jar of herbs that was heated up in a hole in the ground. A reed was used to transfer smoke from the jar into the vagina. Ancient Greeks believed that the uterus wandered around the body looking for moisture. Fumigation was done to keep it in place. Why? Because a traveling, thirsty uterus was thought to be the source of conditions like infertility and conversion disorder (formerly called hysteria).
It has been said vaginal steaming, or smoking, was practiced by some women as a way of maintaining wellness and their identity. Other women did it for a short time after childbirth. Other reasons for steaming the vagina included vaginal tightening or as an overall beauty treatment.

and begin to feel the steam rising up to meet you.
8. Wrap your legs and waist with a warm blanket to keep the steam inside. Note: The steam should
feel warm and gentle – if it feels too hot, separate your legs or stand up to avoid burns.
9. Stay sitting, wrapped in warm blankets, over the steam for 25 minutes. Take this time to visualize,
journal and/or gently massage your lower abdomen to encourage the herbal steam to work.
10. After the steam is finished, pour into toliet and flush - dress and preferably do not wear underwear rest of day/night.
