Challenge
Create a post about your steam inheritance. Ask around in your family or community about steaming. Especially ask the elders who may have had homebirths. Ask if their midwife did a steam session for them afterward or maybe an herbal bath.
If steaming is known, how and when is steaming practiced? What herbs are used?
If unknown, use the Vaginal Steam World Map to see if you can find any records of steaming in the area of the world your ancestors came from. Let us know what you find.
Write in the caption – “My ancestors were steaming hot.”
