Steaming for Postpartum Healing

Steaming immediately postpartum has amazing healing benefits. The cervix isn't fully closed until about 6-8 weeks after childbirth. This allows the steam to gently reach the uterine walls and encourage a full cleanse post birth.

Postpartum steaming has so many benefits including tightening of the vaginal canal, healing of sutures, lowering blood pressure, accelerated healing and helping the uterus return to its original size.

I highly recommend you check out this 4th Trimester Vaginal Steam Study. The results are amazing to see.
