Vaginal Steams naturally clean, rebalance, and lubricate the vagina by releasing old, built up blood and/or discharge from the uterine lining. The vaginal canal contains an abundant supply of blood vessels and mucus membranes and it is believed that herbal steam can be easily absorbed through the walls of the vagina. Because of this fact, doctors often prescribe vaginal suppositories to fight infections or balance hormones. We at Healing Touch believe in utilizing herbs and homeopathic remedies like the days of our ancestors to treat the body naturally to rid toxins that can later cause such infections. While the warm herbal steam does not directly enter the womb, it does soften the tissues, relaxes the belly and the pelvic floor, and increases blood and lymph flow naturally. Simply put, a v-steam is like a facial steam but for your lady parts.

During your vaginal steam, you are in an enclosed room, in a full-length gown. You will sit on one of our custom, vaginal steam chairs that has a cushioned seat with an opening for the steam to do its magic. Each seat is sanitized before and after use and then covered in a freshly cleaned white towel.

A consistent vaginal steam practice can lead to an easy and pain-free period, increased fertility, increased vaginal lubrication, and reducing other uterine abnormalities. Vaginal steaming is a wellness ritual that allows women to honor, reconnect, and take ownership of their reproductive system in a unique way.
