Pelvic Steams & Smokes
Pelvic steaming / smoking (aka vaginal steaming aka v steams aka peri steams aka yoni steams) is an ancient practice found throughout various lineages, including Traditional Chinese Medicine, South Korean Medicine, West Indian Medicine, Italian Folk Medicine and many more. In ancient texts, referred to as a fumigation therapy, steaming and smoking are a heat modality used to deliver plant medicine to the root. Administering steam or smoke is commonly used to treat a wide range of gynecological, reproductive, urogenitary conditions as well as in preventative health and wellness.
