Yeah I just looked it up to refresh my memory, but we think the ancient Scythians were also using estrogen derived from horse pee and also smoking mad weed, which is pretty neat.

Never heard about the estrogen claim, but I definitely knew about them smoking weed. They hotboxed in their tents, lmao

After the burial the Scythians cleanse themselves as follows: they anoint and wash their heads and, for their bodies, set up three poles leaning together to a point and cover these over with wool mats; then, in the space so enclosed to the best of their ability, they make a pit in the center beneath the poles and the mats and throw red-hot stones into it. . . . the Scythians then take the seed of this (kannabis) and, crawling into the tents, throw it on the red-hot stones, where it smoulders and sends forth such fumes that no Greek vapor-bath could surpass it. The Scythians howl in their joy at the vapor-bath."

I just did something similar last week without the seed part but I can say that you howl from the burn of the heat haha
