Warnings after woman is burned by 'nether region steaming'
2019-08-08
[BBC] Gynaecologists are warning of the potential risks of vaginal steaming after it emerged a Canadian woman burned herself attempting one.

A case study, involving a 62-year-old, was published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Canada.

The woman had been suffering from a prolapsed vagina and believed the treatment could help avoid surgery.

Vaginal steaming, which involves sitting over a hot water and herb mix, has seen a growth in popularity.

It and other treatments for intimate areas, including vulva facials, are now available at some salons and spas.

The LA Times first reported on the steaming trend in 2010, and it later gained widespread attention when Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop brand recommended it.

Last year, US model Chrissy Teigen also shared a photograph of herself undergoing the treatment.

#4  A moderne lament, or thpeaking of lithping

Oh, prithee, Miss Chrissy and Gwyneth
Sincerely, as gawd is my witness:
Why's wisdom so dumb
It adds up to dim sum,
And our wyrding wimmen so witless?

#3  It's really not hard to figure out, these are the same type people who believe in global warming is caused by man, vaccines cause autism, etc.

Like most reality challenged, science is just a magic word invoked to protect what they believe. They don't believe is has any real impact on their life, you know, steam burns, a juice cleanse will make you drop 20 pounds, etc.

It was a sad realization to me when I truly understood that yes, people are just that stupid.
