Client Information
Contraindications

There are times when it is not beneficial for someone to steam. As a first step, let's check and make sure that you are safe for a steam session.

Please Mark Any of the Following Hard Contraindications that Apply*

	Yes	Not Sure	No
Are you currently on your period?
Do you currently have fresh spotting?
Have you had spontaneous heavy bleeding within the past 3 months?
Have you had two periods per month (i.e. a period every 2 weeks) in the past 3 months?
Are you pregnant?
Is there a possibility you are pregnant?

Please Provide Further Information for Responses that are "Yes" or "Not Sure"*
If you responded "No", just type "N/A".
IMPORTANT

The above "Yes" replies indicate that vaginal steaming is contraindicated. It is not safe and could result in negative side effects such as the onset of bleeding or a miscarriage. Steaming should not be performed at this time.

Please Mark Any of the Following Soft Contraindications that Apply*

	Yes	Not Sure	No
Do you take the hormonal birth control pill?
Do you have an infection characterized with a burning itch?
Do you have tubal coagulation (burning of the fallopian tubes through laparoscopic surgery through the belly button)?
Do you have a birth control arm implant (i.e. nexplanon)?
Have you had a uterine ablation procedure (where the uterine walls are burned so they scar over)?
Do you have an Essure insert?

Please Provide Further Information for Responses that are "Yes" or "Not Sure"*
If you responded "No", just type "N/A".
Important

If you are using the above 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 an acupuncturist 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 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.
Steam Sensitivities

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 suits you. Let's see if you have any sensitivities.

Please Mark All That Apply*

	Yes	Not Sure	No
Is this your first time doing a steam session?
Are your menstrual cycles currently or historically ever 27 days or shorter?
Have you experienced any hot flashes over the past month?
Have you experienced any night sweats over the past month?
Do you have an IUD in?
Are you currently or historically prone to urinary tract infections (bladder infections)?
Do you have herpes?
Do you have the Nuva Ring in? (If so, it should be removed prior to steam session)
Are you age 13 or younger?
Do you have a history of spontaneous bleeding or two periods per month (3 months or later in the past)?

Please Provide Further Information for Responses that are "Yes" or "Not Sure"*
If you responded "No", just type "N/A".
The above "yes" replies indicate steam sensitivity in which case a mild no heater 10 min setup without an electric burner should be used. Under no circumstances should clients who have sensitivity use an advanced heater setup with an electric burner.
No Periods
If you don't have periods what is the reason?

Herb Selection

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

	Yes	No
Are your menstrual cycles 28 days or longer?
Is your menstrual cycle absent or missing for an unknown reason or because of birth control?
Are you currently taking birth control pills?

If your cycles are longer than 28 days, how often does that occur?*

Indicators for a Hemostatic Herb (gentle) Formula*

	Yes	No
Do you ever have menstrual cycles 27 days or less?
Do you have fresh spotting between periods?
Are you currently underage 13?

If there are any "Yes" signs for the hemostatic (gentle) herbs this formula will always be the best choice.

Indicators for a Disinfecting Herb Formula*

	Yes	No
Do you have green vaginal discharge?
Do you have yellow vaginal discharge?
Do you have white vaginal discharge?
Do you have thick vaginal discharge
Do you have malodorous vaginal discharge?

Indicators for a Cooling Herb Formula*

Is the weather currently very hot?
Do you have an aversion to heat?
Do you radiate heat?

Do You Have Any Food or Plant Allergies?*
If you don't have any allergies, just type "N/A".
Cloaking

When steaming it is often commonplace to wear a cloak to make the entire body sweat and thereby enhance the detoxification of the steam session. A cloak is often a blanket put over the entire body or a thick robe. Cloaking is not recommended if the body already has excess heat. Let's check to see if you have any signs of excess heat.

Mark All Excess Heat Indicators that Apply*

	Yes	No
Do you have hot flashes?
Do you have night sweats?
Do you radiate heat?
Are you prone to vaginal infections or viruses?
Is the weather hot?
Do you have an aversion to heat?

Please Provide Further Information for Responses that are "Yes"*
If you responded "No", just type "N/A".
Yes answers indicate excess heat in which case cloaking is not necessary. Instead use a towel, light robe, steam gown, summer dress or light wrap-around fabric.
Please provide any other information that you would like your practitioner to know.*
What to Expect

Steaming is a cleanse. Some of the possible signs the vaginal steaming is working is if you experience the following: urination urge while steaming, brown discharge after steaming, increased clots or cramps during the next 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 should go away once the cleanse is complete. Please note these changes and inform your practitioner.
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. For more information about proper period care please ask your practitioner. 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 plan 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 the steam session as necessary or make a referral.****In most cases using a mild no heater steam session and custom 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.
