Each treatment has its own rules. Make Sure that you read what’s below before trying the v steaming.

V Steaming is contraindicated for those who fall into any of the below categories:

• Pregnant women

Steam helps open the cervix, which is not safe during pregnancy.

• Women who are prone to spontaneous bleeding

V Steam increases the blood flow, so please consult with a Vaginal Steam Practitioner to ensure that you follow a safe steaming schedule in this case.

• Ladies who are currently menstruating

The uterine arteries are open during the monthly bleeding. Since steam increases blood flow, it will not be safe to steam.

• Women who are trying to conceive should not steam between ovulation and their next menstruation in case they are pregnant

It is NOT safe to steam during your fertile window when you are trying to conceive, or after ovulation and before menstruation/ confirmation that you are not pregnant. Hence, when trying to conceive, only steam after menstruation and before your ovulatory phase. Do not steam after ovulation, insemination, or IUI/IVF transfer until your menstruation begins or a health professional confirms that you are not pregnant.

• Women who have an infection or open wounds

• Women who have an IUD or another contraceptive device in place

• Women who live in origins with extremely hot climate

In addition, the following recommendations should be strongly considered:

• Steam sessions can be once a week, once before and once after menstruation, or with the moon cycles.

• It is often recommended to stay warm during a steam session by covering the shoulders with a blanket.

• It is important to stay hydrated during and after a steam. Also, raw fruits and vegetables are great to cool the body before or after a session.
