We know about saunas, steam rooms, and facials. We know the befits for detoxification and the health of your skin, but what about... vaginal steaming?
Vaginal steaming is an age-old natural remedy said to cleanse the vagina and uterus, regulate menstruation, and ease period cramps and bloating. Vaginal steaming directs herb infused steam into your vagina. For a hefty fee, some upscale spas offer the process. You can also do it at home, although doctors don’t recommend it. The process is pretty simple you just sit or squat over a container of herbal infused steam. Herbs often used alone or in combination include: Mugwort Wormwood Chamomile Calendula Basil Oregano
Vaginal steaming is used as a natural remedy for cleaning the vagina, uterus, and the entire reproductive tract. But the purported claims don’t stop there. It also relieves: Stress Depression Haemorrhoids Infections Infertility Hormone imbalances Headaches Fatigue Digestive issues
But buyer beware, there are always some concerns when trying something like this. There’s no scientific research to prove whether vaginal steaming is safe. But your vagina isn’t meant to be steam-cleaned. An overheated vagina may provide the perfect environment for bacteria that cause yeast infections and other vaginal infections to thrive.
Vaginal skin is delicate, sensitive, and easily traumatised.
