Vaginal steaming for gentle cleansing, healing, and nourishment.
Vaginal steams have a long history of use by traditional healers in various parts of the world. They are beneficial for a wide variety of conditions, from painful menstrual cramps to infertility. They can help the uterus empty itself more completely, dredging out old tissue & blood that may have been there for months or even years. Vaginal steams are easy enough to do at home.
Use a regular wooden chair, a camping chair, or a specially modified chair that has a hole in it to allow the steam to pass through. Or you can kneel over the bowl (far enough away to avoid steam burn). Choose a location that is quiet and private, where you can sit uninterrupted for 30 minutes. Pick out 2 warm blankets to cover yourself during the steam. Place a small towel on the floor where you’ll be setting down the hot pot of herbs.
Bring 1 gallon of water to a boil in a big pot. Turn off the heat and add the herbs into the pot. Only use fresh or dried herbs for your vaginal steam, never add essential oils. Mix the herbs into the water, making sure they are submerged, and cover with a lid immediately. Allow the herbs to steep for 5 minutes, then carry your pot over to your designated location, while still covered.
Undress from the waist down, but keep some warm socks on. Staying warm during the steam is important. Place the pot underneath the chair, uncover it, and sit above it on your chair. Test the warmth of the steam to make sure it isn’t too hot for you. Wait a few minutes if it feels too hot. If the steam feels good, go ahead and sit down, wrap your lower body with a big blanket, so that you are creating a little steam room with the pot in the middle. Make sure there are no gaps anywhere, that the blanket touches the ground and doesn’t go in the pot. Use the second blanket to cover your upper body. Sit and enjoy your steam for 20-30 minutes, relaxing, listening to music, reading, or meditating.
If you feel dizzy or light headed at any point while doing a steam, uncover yourself to cool down for a bit. If dizziness persists, remove the blankets and pull out the pot from underneath you. Including sweating can aid in the process, but you can do a steam with only your lower body covered if you do not wish to get overheated. It is important, however, not to do a vaginal steam in a cold room or near cold drafts.
Note that your bleeding time may be slightly different following vaginal steams – bleeding could be heavier, there could be more clots in your blood, or your blood could be thicker. Do not be alarmed, this is normal and a good reaction to the cleansing effects of the steam. It is also possible for your blood to come a day or two early if you have done steams towards the end of your cycle, or all cycle long.
