16. How Pelvic Steaming Can Help Heal Your Womb with Julia Demillones Moore
There is no magic pill to heal your womb, but if there was one, pelvic (or yoni) steaming would be it. Do you struggle with painful cramps, irregular cycles, yeast infections, short cycles, Fibroids, or other period problems? Or perhaps you're healing from postpartum or a miscarriage. Pelvic steaming has SO many benefits, including healing sexual/emotional trauma that you may be holding in your womb space.
Julia Demillones Moore (she/her) is a pelvic steam practitioner, home herbalist, mother, birth keeper & advocate for enriched postpartum care.
