articles.latimes.com/2010/dec/20/health/la-he-v-steam-20101220Pungent steam rises from a boiling pot of a mugwort tea blended with wormwood and a variety of other herbs. Above it sits a nude woman on an open-seated stool, partaking in a centuries-old Korean remedy that is gaining a toehold in the West. Vaginal steam baths, called chai-yok, are said to reduce stress, fight infections, clear hemorrhoids, regulate menstrual cycles and aid infertility, among many other health benefits. In Korea, many women steam regularly after their monthly periods.

I tried steam-cleaning my sinuses with another great Korean product, kimchi. Good stuff. Not sure if you could use it, um, anywhere else. But if this hoo-hoo hose down works as well as the kimchi does, then Korea could stop making those dumpy little Hyundai cars right now.

If you need to steam clean your vajayjay then you need to see a doctor.
Just like the Summer's Eve commericals, if you smell so bad you need to squirt what amounts to air freshner up there then you got a major problem.

Aw, Optimist, I never said the cars were BAD, just dumpy. And besides, if the bodily cleansing thing works out, why worry about building cars?
Hey, don't knock kimchi, Swamp. It did the trick and cleared me right out. Of course, I could still use another dose today.

Optimist Nancy. Yes that pic does make it look like a partially flattened bug. IMO its not a bad looking car for the money and the high end one can have a very nice interior.

Clean your body so there are less bacteria....
I've noticed all homeless people smell the same, probably due to bacteria just like all dirty laundry smells the same.

Did you forget that the va jay jay and your innards need certain bacterias to stay healthy? Ever take antibiotics and get a rip roaring yeast infection or diarrhea because the antibiotics don't discrimate against which bacteria they kill? Oh, and maybe they smell bad because they all pee on themselves?
