STEAMING WITH HERBS
Generally we do recommend that women postpartum use herbs for steaming. This is because the benefits of the herbs offer a wonderful healing support to the woman, and any imbalances in their cycle can be powerfully cleared out in the first 30 days postpartum with herbal steaming. If you haven't already, you can book a herbal consultation here (cost $49 CAD).
However for some women cost is a factor and so we want to offer you the ability and knowledge to steam without herbs. It is still very safe, effective and relaxing.
STEAMING WITHOUT HERBS
If you have allergies to herbs or unsure which herbs to use, using any of the below will still give great results:
1) Use filtered water alone.
2) Use 1/2 teaspoon salt to 1L of water.
3) Use 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar to 1L of water.
