What is vaginal steaming used for?
Most commonly, vaginal steaming is used by midwives for postpartum care right after a woman has a baby, or to help women deal with menopause. Vaginal steaming is also used as a hygienic post-period practice to get any left-over blood out of the vaginal tract once the period is over. Lastly, vaginal steaming is used to treat gynecological problems. Menopause, Cramps, heavy/irregular or absent periods, postpartum care, fertility, cleansing, clotting, infections, fibroids, cysts, dryness and more. Vaginal steaming helps to naturally get rid of the problem. Vaginal steaming pulls toxins out of the body, alleviates abdominal pain and pressure, relieves menstrual cramps, regenerates damaged tissue, tightens the vagina, aids in healing hemorrhoids, helps alleviate vaginal odor, helps womb absorb herbal medicines into the bloodstream, regulates the menstrual cycle, relieves heavy menstruation, balance hormone levels, aids the body in ridding itself of bacteria, viruses and fungi. Vaginal steaming also stimulates growth of white blood cells and antibodies, stabilizes your mood, strengthens the uterus, relieves menopausal symptoms, helps align chakras, supports lymphatic health, assists with fluid retention, stimulates healthy sexual energy, rids the womb of excess waste which contribute to cysts, fibroids, cancers and tumors, builds self-esteem, facilitates emotional purging and much more.

Cleansing Side-Effects
Urge to Urinate
Sometimes people report the urge to urinate while steaming. The best practice to avoid this would be to have clients use the restroom directly prior to the steam session.
Increased Period Clots
Vaginal steaming loosens up old residue in the uterus. When the following period comes it may flush out and increase the menstrual clots. As these clots clear out from period to period it should result in a full uterine cleanse (fresh red blood and no clots at all).
Increased Period Cramps
As steaming has stimulated a uterine cleanse the uterus may contract to push out old residue that has become loose. These cramps are a sign that the uterus is assisting the cleansing process. It is important to wear pads or period panties and not block up the vaginal canal with tampons while the period cleanse is taking place.
Increased Dry Cramps
Dry cramps (not during the period) may often be felt after steaming. This is a sign that the uterus cleanse is initiating and that the uterus is assisting to clear out old residue by contracting. The old residue can be expected to clear out during the next period or perhaps come out on its own as increased vaginal discharge or congealed mucus.
Increased Irregular Vaginal Discharge or Odor (white, green, thick, clumpy)
The warm nature of the steam helps to decongest any irregular or excess mucus on the uterine lining or in the cervix. As such steaming will often result in the liquidation of the mucus. After a steam session it comes out as increased vaginal discharge. This is good. It's a sign that the vaginal steaming was effective and that a cleanse is happening.
Itchiness
If the irregular mucus coming out has itchy bacteria/yeast/virus in it this can cause itchiness as it clears out. The client should try to get the mucus off her skin by using a peribottle (spray bottle) to rinse it off regularly throughout the day. Please talk to practitioner to be referred if yeast is too consistent.
Bumps: Bumps or a rash might be a sign of an allergic reaction to one of the plants in the herbs. Steam without herbs next time to compare.
Emotional Release (i.e. crying)
Sometimes someone has an emotional release during or after a steam session where they begin to cry. This is okay.
Earlier Periods
Steaming can cause periods to come earlier or later than expected. This is good as long as the overall cycle is 28-30 days. Please discuss if steaming is causing periods to come later.
Brown Discharge After Steam Session
Brown discharge after steaming is a sign of old residue coming out as a result of the steam cleanse. It is a sign of the cleanse and a good thing.
Abnormal Bleeding -- Onset of Fresh Spotting or Bleeding
The onset of spotting or bleeding after steaming may be a sign of a uterine cleanse response to steaming or also uterine fatigue. Immediately go on bed rest and consult me so I can refer you to see an acupuncturist or Chinese Medicine Steam Therapist in order to get an herbal formula or moxa treatment to stop bleeding.
Bowel Movement and/or Gas
Since the colon borders the vaginal canal steaming can help to stimulate gas or a bowel movement. This is a good cleanse side-effect when someone needs a colon cleanse. If the steam session causes loose bowel movements or diarrhea this means the cleanse is too strong. The herb dosage is likely too strong. Adjust the setup for this person next time by using 1/2 of the current dose of herbs.
Sexual Arousal
This can happen as a result of steam bringing touch, heat and circulation to the genitals. Sometimes it happens during the steam session, sometimes it can happen to be heightened libido in the time period after steaming.
Skin Feels Raw or Stripped
This may happen if the steam was too hot or if someone steams too frequently. It goes away in less than 24 hours. The person should make sure to lower the heat next time or steam less frequently.
