What Just Happened to My Vagina?

We are here to fill you in on the magic below!

The moist heat opened up the tissues and the botanical infused water vapor delivered the medicinal benefits of the plants including volatile oils directly to the pelvic tissue. Vaginal tissue is one of the most absorbent of the entire female body. This yoni steam was very supportive to your womb health! We've chosen specific herbs to increase the healing benefits of the steam. The herbs chosen are dependent on the condition being treated. We choose herbs that stimulate circulation to the pelvis, cleanse, tone, nourish, or heal the tissues.

You should expect changes in the vaginal discharge, shift in your menstrual blood, duration of cycle, nourishment, and tightening of your vaginal canal or walls.

Rest quietly after you've steamed in a warm room free of drafts, open windows, or air conditioning for at least 20 minutes. Wash with water ONLY!

AFTER YOU STEAM…

URGE TO URINATE

Sometimes people have the urge to urinate while steaming. Avoid this & always go to the restroom prior to the steam session or treatment.

VAGINAL PERIOD CLOTS

V Steaming loosens ups residue in uterus, the following period may cause clots to push out and increase. As they clear it should results in a full uterine cleanse.

INCREASE IN PERIOD CRAMPS

Steaming stimulates a uterine cleanse. The uterus may contract to push out old residue. The cramps are a sign that the uterus is assisting the cleaning process. It is important to wear organic cotton pads. DO NOT BLOCK THE VAGINA CANAL WITH TAMPONS WHILE CLEANSE IS TAKING PLACE!

INCREASE IN DRY CRAMPS (NOT DURING PERIOD)

Sign that the uterus cleanse is starting and contracting.

BUMPS OR RASH

May be a sign of allergic reaction to herbs. You should steam without herbs to compare.

INCREASE IN IRREGULAR DISCHARGE (WHITE THICK-GREEN CLUMPY)

The warm nature of the steam helps liquidize the mucus after steam treatment. It may come out rapidly. This is good. Keep in mind it could cause itchiness. You should try to remove mucus using a peribottle filled with water.

Deep sleep

Can I still benefit from a Yoni Steam if I have already gone through menopause?

Absolutely! Women in any cycle of life can benefit from a Yoni Steam, especially those who are menopausal. A Yoni steam is very moisturizing and may help to relieve dryness and may increase elasticity. It has been known to reduce severity and frequency of hot flashes and also really helps you sleep soundly. It is a wonderful way to relax and pamper yourself, which is always a lovely benefit.

Can Yoni Steaming increase sex drive?

"That VAGINA hit different after it's STEAMED"

Yes, Yoni Steaming may enhance sex drive. On an emotional level, Yoni Steaming supports us to cultivate a profound sense of self-love and increases our self-confidence (especially as it relates to our Yonis), which has great implications for a woman's sex life. On the physical level, Yoni Steaming increases circulation and increases lubrication, which is clearly great for the libido and sex life as well.

How often should I receive a Yoni Steam?

ONCE YOU START YONI STEAMING YOU WON'T STOP LOL!

•NORMAL CYCLES: For those who have normal,pain free cycles, I recommend a “maintenance” vaginal steam be done twice every month with the changing of the seasons just before menses. If you are so inclined, you may steam two to three times per month, always during weeks in which you are not menstruating as part of your self-care routine.

•MENSTRUAL DISORDERS: Women who suffer from pain, bloating or exhaustion during menstruation should steam every other day within the week or two before menstruation. To aid shedding of uterine lining, you may drink two cups of oregano tea for three days before cycle begins. After doing so, you will likely see a change in the fluid you pass when your period begins. You may also steam once after your cycle ends, to clear out any excess materials.

•FERTILITY CHALLENGES: Women who are experiencing fertility challenges should steam once per week, and twice during pre-ovulation, to make sure that the tissue is moist and that the cervical fluids are clear and copious. They should expect to steam for three months before seeing results. Some even recommend doing a steam every other day all cycle long for more serious conditions, for a more powerful cleanse & detox. This can be very beneficial for women struggling with long term fertility issues, but it is important to note that steaming all cycle long should only be done during a cycle where you are NOT trying to conceive.

•POSTPARTUM: Midwives administer steams to postpartum mothers within the first 9 days after childbirth, this is the ideal. It will help with clots and help the uterus to return to its proper position. Healthy woman with a natural birth would have three steams within the first nine days postpartum. Postpartum uterine lavage helps to make sure all the fluids of birth have flowed out of the body. Maya midwives use the number 9 as a spiritual tradition. They usually do three vaginal steams during the first 9 days postpartum. For the postpartum, a yoni steam may be done three times per week for four weeks to facilitate healing and toning of the uterus and vagina (please be sure there are no open wounds and that you are no longer bleeding).

•MENOPAUSE: For those going through menopause, a yoni steam is recommended a few times a year in the first couple years of menopause to ensure that the uterine membrane is very clean when it stops menstruating. (Menopausal women have reported passing clots and dark, thick blood even a year after menses has ceased. “Better out than in,” is the Arvigo motto) Women who are experiencing or who have passed menopause should steam at least three times per year for maintenance, but may steam more often if it feels right. If your challenges are chronic, you may want to steam up to three times per week to ensure the greatest results.

Can I Steam even if I'm on Birth Control?

There are many birth control methods and steaming interacts with different types in different ways. Let's go through some examples one by one..

Nuva Ring - It is ok to steam if you use the Nuva Ring, but you should take it out before steaming so that the steam doesn't interfere with the hormone release.

IUD's - You can steam with an IUD, but for no more than 25 minutes because steam draws things out of your womb, and may draw the IUD out!

Essure - This is currently off the market due to injuries, but it works by placing a metal coil in your Fallopian tubes. Since steam draws things out, it may dislodge the coil and draw it out.

Temecula VSTEAM

DOES NOT STEAM WOMEN WITH THIS BIRTH CONTROL METHOD.

Tubal coagulation - If your Fallopian tubes have been sealed shut by the creation of scar tissue through burning,steam works to soften scar tissue and may cause your Fallopian tubes to reopen.

Arm Implant (ex: Nexplanon)

Wondering how something in your arm could be impacted by vaginal steaming? One of the ways this device works is by thickening the mucus in your cervix, stopping sperm from swimming through to reach an egg. Steam may draw this mucus plug out.

The Pill - You can steam on the pill without impacting its contraceptive.
