Yes definitely. Vaginal steaming can be helpful for infections; however, safety measures must be considered. Infections are a sign of a heat sensitivity which means that while steaming, the steam set up should always be mild, meaning without a sustained heat source. Cloaking should be avoided and herbs should be prescribed based on the nature of the infection and how it presents in the individual. The herbs will vary based on whether the infection is of a dry nature or a damp nature. Steam sessions should not exceed 10 min in duration and may need to be shorter in certain cases.

It is advised to do a consultation with a Peristeam Hydrotherapist for a steam schedule that will hopefully get rid of the infection and help prevent it from coming back, or at least reduce the severity of future outbreaks. Clients usually need at least one to three months consecutive work with a Peristeam Hydrotherapist for this outcome.
