How to vaginal steam (without having a seat)

Regardless of whether you make use of a special steam seat or simply place a suitable vessel in the toilet (do-it-yourself version), our recommendation is – to ensure that the steaming process is practiced in a safe manner – that the water and herbs should be no less than 16 inches away from the vagina, and that the steam goes up naturally without having a continuous heat source.

Don’t allow any steam get out during your vaginal steam session at home by wrapping a big blanket around the waist all the way down to the floor.

A healthy woman can steam in average 2-3 times per month as a part of an overall wellness regime, preferably when when they are not menstruating.
