What is the history of yoni steaming?

V-Steam (Yoni Steam) History:

The Yoni (Vaginal) Steam dates back thousands of years and is seen in almost every indigenous culture. African, Mayan, Greek, Native American, Cook Islands, Filipino, Japanese, and many other Asian countries have described the practice as Yoni Steam, V-Steams, Vaginal Steaming, Chai-yok, or Bajos. These cultures have used Yoni steaming as a routine ritual to honor and connect with their feminine energy. Yoni Steams can be utilized to restore balance and clear away stagnation. It's popularity has been steadily growing in the West, and for good reason.

 In Chinese medicine, for example, all of the organs have emotional and energetic qualities.  Likewise, Yoni steaming allows women to reconnect with their bodies in a positive loving way which helps to clear blocked energy as it also helps with Yoni (Vaginal) wellness. There is a wisdom worth exploring in practices that have been passed down from women for centuries . We at Her Secret Garden V-Steam have developed a way for women to experience a positive and relaxing way  to nurture and connect with themselves.
