V-Steams
A V-Steam, also known as a Korean Hip Bath, is an ancient Korean treatment. It is a “steam facial” for your vagina and anus to aid in the release of toxins. A therapeutic blend of herbs and steam helps cleanse, tone, and nourish the cervix, uterus, and vaginal/anal tissue. This treatment is done in a private room setting and performed by sitting on a specially designed chair called a Yoni chair that allows the steam to penetrate the area of treatment. A robe is provided to ensure comfort.

Why V-Steams?
The tissue of the vagina and anus are ideal for the absorption of the chemical constituents of herbs. The vagina has a rich vascular plexus (interconnected blood vessels) and supply of peripheral nerves, as well as a system of rugae, or folds in the tissue similar to the villae and microvillae of our body’s intestinal tract, which allows for more surface area for absorption. Unlike our gastrointestinal tract, ingredients absorbed from V-Steams do not have to pass through the liver to get into the bloodstream. While V-Steams are both relaxing and comforting, they are also designed to be an efficient and effective delivery method for herbal mixtures.
