Herbal steaming for short cycles and heavy periods

Intimate herbal steaming is a traditional women's care technique that uses gentle warmth, herbs and their fragrance to support physical comfort during the cycle and a comfortable experience of menstruation. It is intended for women with shorter menstrual cycles (27 days or fewer) who want to be aware of their bodies and pay attention to what their bodies communicate through their cycles.

A shorter cycle or heavier and longer periods may mean greater blood loss. With repeated heavier bleeding, the body may use more iron, and a deficiency can manifest as tiredness, exhaustion or anaemia. Shorter cycles also mean more frequent periods. In some women, shorter cycles may also be associated with a shorter luteal phase, which can affect the conditions for conception.

Cycle length and the intensity of bleeding are among the ways our bodies communicate with us. If we pause, turn our attention to ourselves and start listening to our bodies, we can become more aware of their needs and respond to them consciously.

About the Womb wellness blend

An original herbal blend developed by Mgr. Monika Valová, drawing on the principles of pharmacognosy. Carefully selected herbs form a harmonious whole that supports women's physical and psychological comfort during shorter menstrual cycles or heavier or longer periods. In the Steamy range, it follows on from the blend you may have known as Gentle Period.

Tip

Try steaming for three consecutive days after your period has ended.

Important information

For shorter menstrual cycles, we recommend steaming for a maximum of 15 minutes. If you experience heavy menstrual bleeding, always steam after the bleeding has ended, during the first half of the cycle.

Recommended uses

• Herbal steaming
• Care for the external intimate area through rinses
