The steaming of the uterus is an ancient tradition that consists in exposing the vagina to a steam of hot water, boiled with medicinal herbs. This technique works with the physiological benefits of heat, humidity, and especially the medicinal properties of each herb. The benefits are many, as you can find out in detail below.

Some of them are: increased fertility, improved vaginal lubrication; pain reduction; cleansing of negative memories that are registered in the uterus, such as abortion or sexual traumas; etc.

The heat emitted by steaming also provides local vasodilation, which increases local absorption and hydrates the vaginal area and uterus, which is great for female intimate health. Steaming has a physiological effect, so all you have to do is blow the steam up into the vagina for the effects to be felt. As the vaginal mucosa is thin and very sensitive, it easily absorbs the properties of the herbs that fall into the bloodstream and act all over the body.

Benefits of vaporization of the uterus

• It reduces pain, discomfort, and swelling, caused by post-menstrual exhaustion, post-sexual intercourse, post-partum, or even gynecological surgeries.
• It eases menopausal symptoms.
• It eases the dryness of the vagina, because of the steam, revitalizing and nourishing the tissue of this region. It also makes the vaginal gland work better, producing more lubrication.
• It benefits the reproductive system because the heat makes it work better, so it tends to increase fertility.
• It moisturizes the entire mucosa, softening the tissues of the vagina and uterus, and increases the vitality, nutrition, and vibrancy of the body.
• It increases the woman's creative potential.
• It is an adjuvant in the treatment of myoma, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, among other problems in this region.
• Detoxifies the uterus and vagina.
• It cleanses discomfort and bad memories experienced by the woman, such as miscarriage or sexual trauma, since it is in the uterus and vaginal canal that these experiences take place. It reconnects the woman with her essence and comforts her in her vulnerability.
• After intercourse, steam relaxes the pelvic muscles, eliminating any kind of discomfort, pain, or tension.
• It makes the blood clearer and more fluid. It is worth reinforcing that our blood should not be thick with clots. If this happens to you, it is an indication of poor local energy circulation, a uterus with weak contractions (little muscle tone), and too many local cellular memories (which overload the organ).
• It helps with healing after pelvic surgery or hysterectomy, and also works as a local soothing agent.

Contraindications

The vaporization not can be done under the conditions below:

• During menstruation or any kind of bleeding.
• Vaginal infections or open sores.

How to do the vaporization of the uterus

Choose the herbs indicated for your case ( see some suggestions of herbs below Then, pour a pan of boiled water over it. Place the bucket between your legs - it is important that you are either naked from the waist down or in a skirt and no panties.

Cover yourself with a blanket to concentrate the steam. If you can adjust the "seat" of the bucket so that you can sit on it, that's even better, as it makes it easier for the steam to reach your vulva. If you can't, stand upright anyway.

Important: The ideal is to use up to five different herbs in each vaporization. More than this, the treatment loses effectiveness. You can also, in the same vaporization, mix herbs that offer different benefits, for treatments of different problems.

Vaporization Therapy Technique

By simply bringing the steam up into the vagina, you can feel the effects of the vaporization of the uterus. However, I teach below a technique to make this moment more therapeutic and effective.

Choose to do the vaporization in a cozy place. Light an incense or use an essential oil ( see here some suggestions of Aromatherapy You can also put on some relaxing music, candles, or whatever your imagination dictates. Provide the most appropriate setting so that you can deeply relax and indulge in the moment.

Reconnect with yourself according to your beliefs, focus on your healing and the benefits you want to achieve.

Meditate while feeling the steam rising, contract your vagina as if "sucking in" the heat and then relax. Do this movement successively, as long as it is comfortable for you, without getting fatigued. Allow yourself to find a perfect rhythm with the contractions of the vagina together with your breathing. This will provide an altered level of consciousness, which makes it easier to understand some aspectsthat you may be holding in the womb, or even provide a deeper level of treatment.

Frequency of use

After doing the vaporization only once, it is already possible to observe some responses from the body.

After doing the vaporization only once, it is already possible to observe some responses from the body.

Some cases, for example, require a higher frequency than others, or even as a preventive measure. Below, I suggest some frequencies of use, depending on the problem. But the ideal is that you consult a specialist in intimate female health to evaluate the ideal number of times for you to perform the technique.

Most of my patients do the vaporization once a week when they come to my office, but in some cases I recommend that they continue at home, in addition to doing it at the office. In short, some do it five times a week for a whole month, others three times a week, and there are still those who do it only once or three times a month in the pre-menstrual phase.

What usually happens with those who try vaporization is that after observing the results and experiencing the sensation that vaporization brings, the woman adopts this technique for the rest of her life.
