Womb Steaming - How Does It Work?

Womb Steaming or Vaginal Steaming is used to maintain vaginal hygiene and regulate menstrual cycles and ease the pain caused by menstrual cramps. It also helps reduce bloating during menstruation.

How does it work?
Vaginal steaming is done by allowing herb-infused steam to be directed into the vagina. To begin with, you sit or squat over a container that contains the herb-infused steam. The anti-microbial herbs are allowed to steep in a basin of hot water for about a minute for the steam to infuse itself with their properties.

What are the benefits?
Vaginal steaming helps cleanse the vagina, uterus and the entire female reproductive tract. By keeping the genital tract hygienic, it helps relieve other medical conditions which include-

1. Stress- The stress and anxiety induced by the hormonal changes that occur during the menstrual cycle is relieved by vaginal steaming.
2. Irregular Menstruation- Vaginal steaming can help regulate irregular and disrupted menstrual cycles which can otherwise have severe health effects.
3. Profuse Menstrual Bleeding- It can help manage and decrease the blood flow during menstruation. It also helps reduce the brown and dark purple blood that appears at the end of the menstrual cycle.
