1. It clears out lochia as soon as possible

Quickly eliminating lochia reduces chances of infection and postpartum contractions. It also helps the uterus return to pre-pregnancy size and positioning and supports a healthy menstrual cycle when it returns.

​

2. Tightens the vaginal opening and canal

The vaginal opening and canal support the pelvic floor by holding the uterus and cervix in place. Tightening these areas will ensure proper positioning.

​

3. Helps to lift the uterus, and facilitates proper repositioning of the neighboring organs

Steaming has a rising action, so it can lift organs and support full healing. This can address prolapse and bladder incontinence.

​

4. Reduces skin swelling

​

5. Helps with postpartum hemorrhoids

If you would like to address this problem, simply adjust your seat so the steam gently targets the rectum instead of the yoni. 

​

6. Disperses water retention

During pregnancy it is common to have bloating in the stomach and swollen hands & feet. If this water retention is not dispersed, it will likely turn into fat after about 3-4 weeks. 

​

7. Addresses past problems

Steaming during postpartum is unique because the cervix is open for roughly 4-6 weeks after giving birth. This enables steam to travel easier and address past problems and pathologies. 

​

8. Releases oxytocin

Oxytocin is known as the love hormone and has many benefits for a new mother. The release of this hormone enhances milk production, stimulates the cervix and  heightens mood- which can prevent postpartum depression. Oxytocin levels can rise up to 200% while steaming.

​

9. Softens scar tissue

Steaming is very beneficial for addressing scar tissue. In some cases it can get rid of it completely.
