How Steaming Heals
One thing is evident--vaginal steaming doesn't hurt, and--if it does work in a specific case--it's a really good alternative to surgery and artificial hormones. For most, it is practical and affordable to give it a try. It feels like a warm sauna & bath for your vagina, the immediate effects are what many people love. The long term effects is why it has stayed around for so long.
​
The warmth of the water stimulate blood circulation to the yoni and the womb area and promotes the cervix and tissues of the vagina to secrete and release any toxins, tissues, etc. This warmth in the womb is also associated with releasing "cold chi or energy" from the yoni in asian culture. The energetic release is healing for the womb as well for many spiritual reasons.
How Often to Steam?
This is a self assessment and self care ritual that on average is done 1-2 times a month, however you can perform them weekly if you have time and feel they are needed. Follow the conversation between you and your womb & trust your intuition.
