Steaming is a cleanse.

All of 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

Note: It is best practice to check that your vaginal steam specialist has a Vaginal Steam Facilitator certificate in good standing. This certification ensures that your practitioner knows the proper safety standards regarding setting up a vaginal steam session tailored to fit your needs. Please check the Vaginal Steam Directory (www.vaginalsteamdirectory.com) to ensure that your practitioner has a valid certificate. The Peristeam Hydrotherapy Institute keeps an up-to-date list of all certified practitioners on the directory so if they are not on the map it's possible that the certificate is fabricated.
