Vaginal Steaming is the cleansing of the vagina using herbal remedies. Although the vagina is self cleansing; it is believed that the cleanse helps with menstrual cycles, ovulation, fibroids, yeast infections, cyst and other health related issues. Let’s also keep in mind that there is no scientific evidence supporting these beliefs “SO WHEN IN DOUBT SHOUT!” That statement simply means that if there is any doubt in your mind that you may have something medically wrong in the vaginal area, seek attention from your PCP immediately. Vaginal steams are not used as treatment for STDs, bacterial infections, or any other conditions that may require medical attention. Below are some benefits to vaginal steaming:

●Maintain wellness
● Improves blood circulation
● Increase libido
● Help with endometriosis
● Helps with fibroids
● Helps with infertility
● Helps with bladder and yeast infections
● Helps decrease menstrual cramps
● Helps with hemorrhoids
● Helps tighten the vaginal wall
(Notice I said “Helps With,” Not in place of, or alleviates)

Unfortunately, vaginal steaming is not safe for everyone. Here are some reasons v-steam may not be safe for you:

● Currently menstruating
● IUD
● Right after ovulation or bikini wax
● Open sores in the vaginal area
