Potential benefits of vaginal steaming
Some people believe vaginal steaming offers many health benefits and have called the practice a “facial” for the vagina.
Some of the reported benefits of vaginal steaming include:
1. reducing menstrual symptoms, such as bloating, cramps, exhaustion, and heavy bleeding
2. boosting fertility
3. promoting healing after childbirth
4. reducing stress
5. treating hemorrhoids
6. increasing energy and reducing fatigue
7. treating headaches
Currently, there are no scientific studies that prove these purported benefits. However, some people say it works by enhancing blood flow to the vaginal tissues, which can promote healing.
