"Vaginal steams:  have been used across the globe for years by a variety of cultures as an inexpensive and natural way to support vaginal health,
The steam doesn’t actually enter the womb, but the warmth of the steam softens and relaxes the pelvis and vagina. The improved blood and lymph flow increases the health of the tissue on a cellular level. Different herbs are used to provide different effects: warming herbs like oregano, rosemary and mugwort can help improve circulation; soothing herbs like calendula, rose and lavender will encourage opening and get secretions flowing. The steam, warmth and relaxation of the ritual are beneficial as well."
