HOW DO I STEAM AT HOME?
Setup:
Pot that holds 8 cups of water
Heat source to boil water (stove, burner)
Pot Holders
2 Towels, A Sheet, or a Gown to Wrap Around Yourself
Steam Herbs
Measuring Spoon
Optional - Steam Stool, Box, or Chair & Cheese Cloth or Metal Tea Holder to Store the Tea
Process:
- Bring water to a boil
- Once boiled, turn off heat & allow to steep for 10 minutes
- While steeping, set up your steaming area, urinate, and grab a drink to bring with you
- Place pot on floor or steam chair
- Test the temp so you don’t burn your skin
- Steam for 10-30 min depending on your sensitivities
- Once done, you can return the herbs and water to the ground / flush down the toilet
Suggestions:
- Never Steam with anything plastic (bowls, seats) as hormone disrupting toxins will be released
- Urinate before steaming
- Test steam before sitting down. Do not get burnt.
- Bring water or tea with you
- Wipe at the end
- A steam session may activate an emotional release so many people prefer to schedule it before bedtime or a nap
