Vaginal Steaming
What is it??
Vaginal steaming is basically a restorative facial for the pelvic bowl, inner and outer muscles, skin, and reproductive system. It is gentle, non-invasive and relaxing as a practice.
The water is boiled and then healing herbs are steeped. The tea cools enough so that it can be sat over for certain sets amount of time. That’s the process in a nutshell.
The ritual of steaming increases the pelvic circulation and increases the flow of lymph. It has huge positive systemic impacts on the nerves, especially the Vagus nerve, and the blood flow, the energetic body, hormones, and more.
