As more and more women try streaming it shows a potential to address a myriad of symptoms such as cramps, fibroids, regulation of menses, etc. One of the things that makes vaginal steaming so great is that it is extremely gentle and simply involves sitting over a pot of herbal steam. It is important to know what is indicated and what is contraindicated.
From the first period to post-menopause it is an important tool for self care.
Indications:
