I had the intention on posting about my wonderful experience of vaginal steaming. I had done research on it while I was pregnant and wanted to try it after I had the baby because of the many health benefits. Well... I added too much water into my basin and when I sat down, a portion of my butt cheek touched the hot water! I jumped up so fast, I lost my balance and almost fell back into the hot water! This wasn’t the relaxing experience I imagined.
Anyways, vaginal steaming. It’s like a facial for your “lady goods”! The practice of vaginal steaming is a natural remedy for maintaining your female reproductive health and dates back thousands of years in indigenous African, Asian, Mayan and Native American cultures. Although medical doctors don’t recommend vaginal steaming, many women have found it beneficial, especially after childbirth. Depending on the herbs you use, you can stimulate menstruation, ease cramping, fight infections, clear scar tissue, relieves infertility, hormone imbalances, tones and strengthens.
This herb blend is from Substance and it came with my Healing Mama Co. postpartum kit. In general, postpartum herb steaming blends includes: mugwort, rosemary, wormwood, basil, calendula, lavender, rose chamomile and motherwort.
I’m not opposed to trying it again but I would probably get some help from an expert or in a setting that specializes in vaginal steaming.
*** DO NOT use vaginal steaming while pregnant, during your menstrual period, open wounds or if you have genital piercings. Consult with a Yoni specialist or doula if you have health conditions.
