What is Peristeam Hydrotherapy?
Peristeam Hydrotherapy is a holistic form of gynecology that utilizes the practice of vaginal steaming and the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine to resolve menstrual cycle imbalances. Do you have cramps? Then you have stagnation. Do you have cysts? Then you have dampness. Steaming can loosen stagnation and drain cysts.
Peristeam Hydrotherapy, as does TCM, sees the menstrual blood as a vital sign, and reading it uncovers the root of menstrual cycle imbalances. Resolve the imbalance, resolve the concern.
Your care starts with an in-depth Menstrual Cycle Analysis that determines the constitutional imbalances that are present (stagnation, dampness, dryness, weak digestion, excess heat, and uterine fatigue). Your Peristeam Hydrotherapist then creates a Steaming Protocol to resolve the imbalances and a Lifestyle Behavior Plan to support optimal wellbeing.
Through your first menstrual cycle of care, your Peristeam Hydrotherapist offers weekly support and then conducts a follow-up consultation after your period to make any needed adjustments to your plan.
Most mild concerns (Menstrual Cramps, PMS, STI’s, UTI’s, Cysts, Bumps, Hemorrhoids, Long Cycles, Short Cycles, Heavy Bleeding, Nightsweats, HPV, Bacterial Vaginosis) resolve in 3 months with regular steaming.
Advanced concerns (Fibroids, Endometriosis, PMDD, Pelvic Organ Prolapse, PCOS, Unexplained Infertility, High-Risk HPV) resolve in 6 - 12 months with regular steaming.

Cynthia’s Steam Story:
I found steaming in 2018 after a friend sent me an Instagram post by Steamy Chick because I suffered with painful periods and debilitating PMS. I was immediately intrigued by the claim that vaginal steaming could eliminate cramps and shorten long cycles. Despite being active and healthy, my menstrual cycle was 40-45 days long. With a nearly a 30-day luteal period, I had 30 days of PMS symptoms every month. I took the first courses on steam facilitation and herbal blends and started steaming.
Within 3 months, my cramps were gone and my cycle decreased down to 29 days. I also found that steaming every day of my luteal period drastically decreased my PMS symptoms. Within 6 months, I had achieved the Standard Healthy Cycle, with 4 days of fresh red blood, no clots or cramps, no PMS symptoms, and a perfect 29.5 day menstrual cycle that synced with the moon. It felt like a miracle. My health and wellbeing had been so drastically improved that it inspired me to complete my master’s degree in Peristeam Hydrotherapy. It is my great joy to now work as an Advanced Steam Therapist with women world-wide.
The most impactful benefit of Peristeam Hydrotherapy to me is that it placed my health care back into my hands. It is my aim to share this incredible practice and teach women that they too can take care of themselves, in the comfort of their own homes - no stirrups, no speculums, no pharmaceuticals, and no invasion of their bodily autonomy. This is the medicinal wisdom of our ancestors accessible for modern day use.
