In Kimberly Johnson’s new book entitled The Fourth Trimester: A postpartum Guide to Healing Your Body, Balancing Your Emotions & Restoring Your Vitality Johnson writes, “there are many potential benefits to vaginal steaming postpartum, including warming the body, healing the placental site, and aiding in clearing out any residue in the uterus. The steam creates warmth from the inside out, which is both therapeutic and deeply relaxing.” Later Johnson mentions Keli Garza of Steamy Chick saying that she is the “world’s leading expert on vaginal steaming and its uses all over the world.”
