WHAT TO EXPECT
Steaming is a cleanse. Some of the possible signs the vaginal steaming is working is if you experience -- the urge to urinate while steaming, brown discharge after steaming, increased clots or cramps during the period, increased dry cramps, increased irregular vaginal discharge (white, green, thick, clumpy), emotional release, periods that come earlier or later than expected. All these signs are a normal part of the cleansing process and these signs will go away once the cleanse is complete. Please note these changes and let your practitioner know of these positive changes
BEST PRACTICES
1) Go to the bathroom directly prior to vaginal steaming.
2) Learn proper period care. Avoid tampon use and instead use cotton pads or period panties. The period is a uterine cleanse and if you support it the clots can easily clear out. Plugging up with tampons, on the other hand, prevents the old residue from clearing out and that is often the cause of cramping. It's also important to rest during the period and to eat the right foods.
3) Increased vaginal discharge can be addressed by using cotton underwear liners and a peri bottle throughout the day to clean mucus off the skin.
