Most of the side-effects reported while steaming are positive. Users have reported relief of delivery side effects, more breastmilk, better sleep, decreased swelling in legs and feet, decreased abdominal bloating, slimmer waistline, decrease in breast soreness, fewer headaches, fewer PMS symptoms, increased energy, lucid dreams, tingling feet, glowing skin, reduction in incidence of hormonal acne and relaxation.
However, some undesirable side effects might also occur. These include onset of bleeding, headaches, the sensation to urinate or an infection outbreak. In 99% of all cases using a mild steam session and mild herbs will prevent the above 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.
Note: It is best practice to check that your vaginal steam specialist has a vaginal steam 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.
I understand that vaginal steaming may have positive or negative side effects as a result of doing a session. I accept legal responsibility for my choice to do a vaginal steam session and waive the responsibility of the practitioner and the facility where the steam session takes place in the case that any of the named side effects (or others) may occur.
