Vaginal Steaming: What is it and how does it help postpartum healing? - with Adrienne Irizarry, Certified Peristeam Hydrotherapist

What is vaginal steaming - aka pelvic steaming - aka yoni steaming? Well, if you have a pelvic floor, steaming is for you! This ancient practice is gaining popularity in the US, and is something that can support women throughout the lifespan - first menstruation, fertility, labor prep, postpartum recovery, menopause and post-menopause. I talk with Adrienne about how steaming promotes a healthy menstrual cycle, aids with labor preparation (which MUST be done under the guidance of a practitioner!), and can help with postpartum pelvic floor healing. We talk through the 4th Trimester Steam Study, a foundational study that showed promising results when it comes to many markers of postpartum healing. We also talk about the importance of self-care, rest, and how steaming promotes those things with a non-invasive, healing practice. Other cultures honor the sacred window of the first 30-40 days postpartum, but Americans don’t. 
IMPORTANT: When steaming, you have to use the right tools - the right herbs, the right amount of time… work with a practitioner - Adrienne does virtual visits with people all over the world and can set you up for success!
