Vaginal / Perineal Steam Blend (Organic)

The Mothership Vaginal & Perineal Steam Blend is designed to help a woman recover quickly during postpartum & decrease the amount of time spent bleeding during the weeks after birth.

You may choose to steam for a week after birth to help recovery or for 30 consecutive days to clear up any pre-pregnancy conditions, imbalances, & reproductive issues.

Steaming is a method of delivering herbal remedies via steam to the perineum, vagina, cervix, & uterus. Gentle yet powerful herbs are used to promote circulation, cleanse, detox, tone and tighten skin, regulate the menstrual cycle, support pms symptoms, heal, & strengthen the womb. Steaming also balances the vaginal flora and helps cleanse any excess mucus.

FAQs

CAN I USE THE HERBS WITHOUT A VAGINAL STEAM SET UP AT HOME?

Yes. The herbs come with suggested info on how to prepare the steam blend and a step-by-step guide on how to setup for an in-home steam session without a stool or sauna.

CAN I USE THE HERBS MORE THAN ONCE?

Yes. You can use the herbs twice.  Remove from pot after boiling, before steaming, and store in fridge.

HOW MANY HERBS DO I USE FOR EACH SESSION? 

Anywhere from 5 teaspoons to 1/4 cup of herbs per session. The herbs swell in the water during steaming so not much is required.

ARE THE HERBS SAFE WHILE BREASTFEEDING?

This Steam blend is safe for breastfeeding and non-drying on the milk supply.  Some Mom’s report that the calming qualities that vaginal steaming provides have actually increased their milk supply. 

ARE THERE ANY CONTRAINDICATIONS ON WHEN I SHOULD NOT STEAM?

You should not steam if you are pregnant, after ovulating and trying to conceive, or if you have experienced spontaneous bleeding and irregular periods in the past three months.
