Contraindictations

There are times when it is not beneficial for a woman to steam.

First, let's check and make sure that you don't have any contraindications.

Important

IMPORTANT -- If you are using internal birth control methods it may be possible that vaginal steaming could cause a birth control failure. Steaming is not recommended unless you are okay with using a backup form of birth control or you are not concerned about your birth control failing. If you have a burning itch the warmth from the steam could be uncomfortable since there is already so much heat in your body. In this case you could try doing a sitz bath with cooling herbs. It is also recommended to seek treatment from a physician to address the underlying imbalances causing the burning itch. Once the burning itch subsides you may proceed with a vaginal steam. If you have had a colposcopy (biopsy of uterine wall) or uterine ablation procedure (to scar over the uterine walls) it may be possible that vaginal steaming will clear the scar tissue which would reverse the surgery. If you are okay with reversing the surgery then feel free to proceed with a vaginal steam.

Sensitivites

Some women are very responsive to steam and it can cause a physiological response. If you are in this category then it is okay to steam, however your practitioner will adjust your steam session and herbs so that it perfectly suits you.

Herb Selection

It is best to select herbs suitable to your health. Your practitioner will use the info from this intake form to select a suitable vaginal steam formula for you.

Waiver

PLEASE READ THROUGHLY!!!

LIABILITIES AND RELEASES

Most of the side-effects reported while steaming are positive. Users have reported better sleep and lucid dreams, relaxation, decreased swelling in legs and feet, decreased abdominal bloating, slimmer waistline, increased libido and sexual sensation; increased vaginal nectar and fertility, decrease in breast soreness, fewer headaches, fewer PMS symptoms and improved emotional balance, increased circulation and energy, tingling feet, glowing skin, reduction in incidence of hormonal acne and increased lubrication and vaginal nectar, scar softening, tighter vaginal canal and harmonization with the moon cycle.

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 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.

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. The use of tampons will cause  Plugging, 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.

CAUTION SIGNS
If steaming causes a rash, bumps, headaches, itchiness, diarrhea or the onset of fresh spotting or inter- period bleeding, this could be a sign that your steam protocol or herbs might need to be adjusted or that there is an allergic reaction. If these signs occur please let your practitioner know so they can adjust treatment as necessary.
****
In most of all cases using a mild steam session and mild herbs will prevent any of the above signs from happening so it's very important that you give honest answers in this intake form so that the practitioner can set up a steam session that will fit your needs.
