Understanding Vaginal Steaming

V-steaming is a practice in which a woman sits over a bowl of boiling water and allows the vapor to rise into the vagina – herbs are sometimes added to the water.
Vaginal steaming therapy is an alternative medicine practice that is becoming increasingly popular and in high demand due in part to celebrity endorsements like Gwyneth Paltrow, who claims that it offers “an energetic release.”
Proponents assure that the practice can help to cleanse the uterus, reduce inflammation and ease menstrual cramps. Some women even say it has improved their fertility as well.
It seems like this would be a great alternative for those who are tired of using chemicals or feminine hygiene products regularly to maintain healthy vaginas.
