Unable to resist, I searched online to find out. When I finally discovered what it was for, I was shocked to learn that my neighbors were actually using it! It was actually a device for steam baths aimed at the pelvic area, a heating method sometimes combined with herbs, used to treat certain feminine inflammations.

So my neighbors were really doing that? They were using this chair for steam baths… and after using it, they threw it out on the street!

I’m not sure if I should feel relieved that they got rid of it, but every time I see them, I won’t be able to stop thinking about this strange practice.

And you, have you ever heard of or tried such a device? 😆
