Contains mugwort, lady’s mantle, calendula, motherwort and rose petals. Traditionally used as a warming ritual and a moment of self-care.
How it works
Vaginal steaming is a traditional practice in which warm, herb-infused steam is used externally. The warmth is the active part of the experience; the herbs are chosen for their long-standing traditional associations — here, menstrual balance, soothes cramps, gentle cleansing, nourishing self-care ritual.
In the tradition
Herbal vaginal steaming has a long history across West African, Caribbean, Central American and East Asian traditions, typically as a postpartum and cyclical self-care practice passed between women rather than through formal medicine.
- 1Place 2 tsp of the blend in a bowl of just-boiled water and leave it to steep and cool for at least 5 minutes before use.
- 2Test the steam with your hand first. It should feel warm and comfortable, never hot — steam burns to delicate tissue are the real risk with this practice.
- 3Sit or squat over the bowl with a blanket around you, for 15–20 minutes.
- 4One pouch gives roughly 3–4 steams.
- Do not use during pregnancy, or if you think you may be pregnant.
- Do not use while menstruating.
- Do not use if you have an IUD or coil fitted.
