The best time to do vaginal steaming is after your period and it is discouraged during pregnancy. Typically vaginal steaming lasts for about twenty to forty-five minutes and care should be taken to avoid using steam too close or too hot so as not to burn or irritate the sensitive vaginal tissue. The most important thing regarding the herbs you use is to make sure you are knowledgeable about them and avoid those that you may be allergic to or those that would interfere with a health condition or medication you may be taking. Consulting a herbalist, physician or pharmacist may be a good idea if you are unsure. Also, make sure that the herbs you use are organic to avoid any exposure to pesticides and avoid essential oils as they can be overly potent and it can be difficult to discern the quality of them.
