Vaginal Steaming -What? Why? No!| Dr Anjali Kumar | Maitri

- There are some practices which are marketed well and endorsed by celebrities, but that does not mean they are useful, worthy and medically sound.
Vaginal Steaming is one such practice, popularized by a celebrity. It claims and promises to cleanse the vagina and uterus, regulate menstruation, and ease period cramps and bloating.
But other than offering a soothing warm sensation, does it work?
Remember, vagina is a self cleaning organ and there’s no scientific evidence to suggest that vaginal steaming is useful or helpful , rather this practice can potentially cause harm.

As a doctor and a gynaecologist, I feel enraged when I come across such baseless recommendations or promotions. It is and will always be Maitri 's endeavor to give a scientific view on all such medically unproven practices.
In coming weeks we will talk about many more things which you shouldn't do when it comes to maintaining good vaginal health.
@Sisterhood Soul Wellness What you said
But these herbs helped me solve a problem that many gynaecologist couldn't solve. I'd in excruciating pain (similar to labor pains but worse) for years. After just one steaming session, I did not just feel relieved, I was pain-free. And also, it only makes sense to check the temperature, we don't cook our yoni. I'm just eternally grateful to these herbs. Whether they are stupid and nonscientific, truth is that science failed me.
@@senzelongema4022 The water shouldn't be boiling... It should be a nice comfortable STEAM...
It an ugly truth that we are being pushed to pharmaceuticals rather then preventive...
Being a allopathy practioner u never know the Ancient Ayurvedic practices...But this is proven practice of ayurved called Yonidhupan...If anyone wants to do that Plz take proper guidance of Ayurvedic practioner..it is beneficial and not harmful
@@pratikshadaradd758 so true. Most gynecologists are ignorant over the fact that Yoni steaming only heals; whereas their "overly-refined" medicines always cause nasty side effects and all forms of hormonal imbalance and headaches, with only just a small chance of solving the problem. They kept giving me some contraceptives and things just got worse. My menstrual cycle just became unstable after starting their "treatment". There was a time when I would bleed for four months without stopping. I was introduced to Yoni Steaming by my friend who is a medical doctor. So, really, we can never go wrong with ancient practices.
I’m a Haitian women and this been in our culture for many years especially after birth and it helps every time. It’s a 3day bath that is done to women. Science doesn’t have all the answer and very slow if they did I don’t think so many people will be incarcerated for cannabis.
I had recurring cysts and fibroids. Gynaecologists could not help me. Most of them kept shoving me with contraceptives. I started Yoni steaming and I'm healed. Pain free
Agreed. Been doing at home steaming since the early 90’s with simple herbs like mint leaves, before these millennials got all fancy with it and incorporated other herbs. Lol
Most doctors want to push meds!
@@senzelongema4022 happy to hear your healed😊
A lot of medical books that doctors study during medical school and get their information are ghostwritten by pharmaceutical companies. If you look up Rockefeller and holistic medicine, the fda and oil you will understand why western medicine does not study holistic medicine or recognize it at all
This is not founded in celebrity culture, it’s been around for centuries, because it’s new to you doesn’t mean it’s not effective. We actually use this in hospitals after birth
Being a nurse myself and graduating from a MEDICAL NURSING SCHOOL, I would like to believe that everything that we do or practise need not be “ SCIENTIFICALLY OR MEDICALLY PROVEN”
Science is limitless but discovery is very limiting. Just because SCIENCE hasn’t proved something doesn’t mean it has no value.
I am a firm believer in ancient practises, not necessarily all of them BUT will not dice it by calling it baseless.
The more I am learning the more I am realising that there is a lot more to be explored and a lot of stuff we don’t know about.
I don’t see a harm in this specially when you have spoken about the alternative of a sitz bath. That can easily be dangerous too.
That sounds cool. Which medical nursing school do you attend? Is it a nursing curriculum combined with medicine? I’m looking for nursing programs and would like to look into this one.
being a nurse is basic when it comes to being a specialist in the TOPIC definitely debunks your knowledge. just because something has been done for centuries does not mean it healthy or correct. much of what they did is exactly how we have many of our diseases of Today.
It healed my womb implementing once a month of sexually active every other month if not
Just because a doctor doesn't learn something in medical school does not mean it isn't an ancient and effective practice. I am a naturopathic doctor, i have NEVER learned it in school. . . But now that I am in my 3rd trimester with crazy pelvic floor pain and discussed it with a practioner. . . Why wouldn't hydrotherapy and analgesic herbs help????
The skin, the LARGEST organ absorbs up to 60% of what we put on it. . . How about mucusal membranes doc? Discrediting something without conducting a study is ignorant.
that is not hydrotherpy. just because a treatment uses water does not define it as hydrotherapy. really.
@@divineiks that is the exact definition of HYDRO (latin stem meaning "water")
It's not bizzare....it's been used for centuries....it's mainly used after childbirth and been still practice today. Please mam don't try to deny our century old processes.....please go through old scriptures of Ayurveda....with due respect
I appreciate trying to promote safe practices for all people, but vaginal steaming has helped me tremendously!!! I used to have 90+ day long cycles. Doing vaginal steaming has helped me so much to regulate my cycle again. And it also helped ease my period pain. I think you should try it for yourself :)
Sometimes i feel itchy.....can i go for it because i don't want to use vaginal wash products
a stiz bath could do that too.
Not everyone wants all the "science" proven meds. I mean I was on science proven birth control for years and because of that I am now looking for holistic ways to balance my hormones and fix the lingering (years after) side effects of birth control that Drs deny. I'm done with all the "science" proven meds and I am 110% willing to take my chances with the holistic and less then popular way of tackling my issues I have thanks to the "science"
Our ancestors have been doing these practices for centuries. "Science" is not the end all and be all. Some of our grandparents know how to self cure with herbs and didn't have to visit labs to prove that it works
Completely agree with you ma'am. But there is something called 'Yoni Dhupan' in Ayurveda as well. And some doctors recommend this.
I’m glad you’re not my dr!
Very useful. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome information..... Thank you ❤️
Thank you!
Thank you so much Maam for all your videos,the way you speak it's clear and smoths.I really like it.
Thank you!
Frankly speaking ma'am.. First time i heard vaginal steaming.. 😱😱😱😱.. And as always you clear this topic very nicely 😊.. Thank you maam🥰
Thank you!
“Baseless practice” but it’s given me real results like an unmedicated labor with no vaginal tearing, reliving me of debilitating Menstrual cramps, and has helped me heal multiple vaginal infections.
How about instead of trying to “debunk” it you try it for yourself … or better yet start an extensive research study.
Vaginal steaming in my experience not only connects you to your body, but cleanses your vagina and allows it to clean itself better. I feel more in control of Menstrual health than ever before.
Hello, can you please shed light on the castor oil pack application? Does this really help?
Learnt something new today which ultimately widened my horizon !
Thank you Anjali Aunty 🙏
Lots of love ❤️
Thank you!
I bet to differ. In practice it's recommended to sit in bath with lavender oils/other homeopathic ingredients for perineal wound healing and soothing. Sitting in the bath could be a good source of infection. Putting the oils or lavender herbs in buckets for steaming seems a healthier alternative. It been practiced in most African cultures for centuries. My grandmother who was a traditional birth attendant practiced and recommended it. Steaming with herbs (depends on types and situations for V or not) in general is also good for asthma, flu, covid and fevers especially with neem herbs or oils. Don't discourage it on the basis of assumptions and speculation because your advice is not evidence based just because you are a doctor/gynaecologist. Have done any scientific research into the v. Steaming? Why don't you consider reaching out to cultures/ practicing communities to perform research and come out with scientific evidence plus changes in pH levels then make recommendations.
For my batholian cyst. I do sitz bath in water with haldi, neem and triphla in it. And i use very hot water hottest that i can tolerate. Is it safe ?
Of course a scientific gynaecologist will say it’s wrong.
Thank you for talking about this ma'am... please talk about castor oil pacls which are widely used claiming to increase fertility and thicken endometrial lining.. please make a video about its ill effects
Oh, this is something new, I have learned today. Will research and definitely come back on this
I have never heard of such steaming, I am shocked too
Hello, very thankful to you for the informative videos. Can you tell us what tests should one get done and from what age for early detection of ovarian cancer which is also called as a silent killer.
Sure
Maam can you give information about cysts which has to operated
Smh these folks really get on my nerves discrediting something when they refuse to study it because they can’t profit from it specially when they are the one’s prescribing unhealthy bullcrap with major side effects🤔 but something natural that works for ALOT of people is baseless. God help us
This just proves doctors endorse propaganda and self healing.. anything natural and herbs is always looked down upon when its really the main source.. we not saying its the end all be all but its a great support to cleansing physically and spiritually mostly. Im sitting doing one in the comfort of my home now safely and well aware.
These allopathic doctors are the worst enemies to humanity! I don’t know how they can live with themselves, constantly poking poison down people’s throats!
I've been doing it and it works every time
Is is not because you did not learn it in medical school or that there is no research that it doesn't work... It's so judgmental from a doctor to call an ancient and cultural practice "bizarre" when you don't know anything about it...
As Dr I suggest Please go to ayurved practioner and take opinion...it is ancient ayurvedic practice and very useful...
I’m honestly surprised she hasn’t heard about them in her own culture. If not know people that have used them with success.
That’s because she’s a professional allopathic doctor who lives to prescribe poison!
@@SueLall1008 sounds like you nailed it, seems she only responds "Thank you" to people who supports her ridiculous opinions
@@tabbyb3514, these doctors don’t want people to be able to heal themselves!
Hello mam vaginal steaming is not new topic for me. Something similar like this I have been looking for very long time around my area. People after delivery practice this by using cow dung cake ,heat it , add some Ajvain to add , then take the steam . People use to do it to relieve the pain and help in muscle contraction etc. Is this correct if not why? Please answer 😁🙏
She’s a hypocrite or plain dumb!
Absolutely right Dr Anjali..👍
These are marketing gimmick to misguide people..
Excellent peice of information.
Keep it up team Maitri ❤️❤️
I if you care about women health, the worst person you can go to is gynaecologist. They prefer to remove uterus, ovaries, tubes, use invasive methods that don’t treat the problem and often cause more problems later on. They are completely hopeless how to balance hormones, they turn off the system with contraception _ which is again not solving the problem at all. They put devices as contraception to create inflammation in the uterus which causes more problems later on. And that is called science lol. Those steams women have been using for centuries _ this is fact and best least biased study. Avoid gynaecologist- they will create more problems, just to get more money out of you.
By the way you explain it, seems they are looking for long term patients that will keep coming back…
Thankyou ma'm
Hi Doctor !
Can u pls make a video on precaution and steps to be taken after ectopic pregnancy Surgery ?
I will b thankful
Good luck on getting an answer to your question, seems this lady in video only responds to those giving her thanks to her ridiculous opinions
Very very thank you mam
Thank you!
Thank you very much for enlightening on this topic . Please could you make a video on ectopic pregnancy and the assisted reproductive technologies like IVF , ZIFT , GIFT , ICSI , AI , IUT , IUI , etc
Please make video on bartholine cyst prevention, plz..
Please give info on why we can't wash our hair on first and second day of period ? My Nani and mom followed this and tell us also to follow .
Because proper flow of blood reduces..if you remember when someone gets blood coming out from nose in summer season then on his or head water is poured...it immediately helps in stopping the blood from nose. When we take head bath in the beginning of periods so it does the same although not completely but it disrupts the quantity...in periods it's necessary to stay warm and have warm food items also which are comforting...it helps in proper cleaning and healthy periods
Vaginal lasers , r they healthy and medicinally safe or recommended
How to maintain hygiene after urination? Water will do? Is wiping with toilet paper necessary everytime after using water.
yeah i have the same question
I also have the same question.
It's not required. Cleaning with water, dabbing with toilet paper not required. Just leave it. Urine is sterile and can't cause infections
@ maitri
With due respect I wish to correct here, urine is not sterile.
@@maitriwomanhealth Studies have been done to prove urine is not sterile
Knowledgeable video, mam pls make video on recovery after c section, belly fat reduction
Sure, we will come back with our pregnancy series sometimes in future and then will talk about it.
@@maitriwomanhealth thanks🙂
Of course you say this your a doctor.
Even I hv heard ab this but steaming is done for mother after delivery for fast recovery of wounds n stitches. I don't kw how far it is useful. But thanks for ur msg...
Please make a video on IUI and IVF
Sure, sometime in future
A much needed topic madam! This is actually so surreal. Thank You Ma'am.
Thankyou!
Hiii mam kaise ho aap,
Mam mai pregnant hu aaj 46days pregnancy ho chuki hai meri,but COVID ki vajh se mai hospital nhi Jaa paa rhi hu,Mera do sawal hai apse phla ki mai kb tk first visit kr skti hu,dusra kal raat ko mujhe bahot tej fever aur pain ho rha tha Puri body me to maine sumo le liya tha,kya koi side effects ho skta h iska
Hlo mam, im dealing with strong boby odour issue, mostly from my armpits, i really wanted to know how can i reduce this odour.
This happened to me undergoing extreme stress for a long time. I was in an emotionally abusive relationship he kept me on edge all the time. He was cunning and I never blamed him I blamed work and family, ect. But, once we separated I am much healthier and the ell went away. I hope this gives helpful insight. I wish you the best.
Try milk thistle. I just wanted to do a liver cleanse but I noticed I did not smell at all after taking milk thistle. Use lemon also as deo.
Explain how it got rid of my UTI
I need science to catch up because I have been having bleeding in between my cycles and thought it was my birth control. I also had a miscarriage and was noticing odors that were abnormal. I am very in tune with my body and ph because my family has a history of bv. Steaming definitely helped bring out the tissues that were stuck in my uterus. I steamed right after my cycle went off and now the access is coming out as of I was still on my cycle. Steaming has been a big help. This was causing a huge insecurity for me.
I’d also go and get tested for STDs and STIs if you haven’t already
She has a point am here struggling from v steaming
Plz make a video on pelvic pain....there's nothing just pelvic pain
I’m going to try steaming, it’s a lot easier then running a bath. But I don’t eat sugar so I’m not concerned about disrupting my Ph but I think suggesting steaming could in fact aggravate BV, especially women who drink & eat a lot of sugar. I think there’s a lot of modern habits that aren’t compatible with v steaming
Mam please make a video on ovarian cyst how to cure and what are the foods to be taken to cure cysts.. Love your content
Try Yoni steaming. It helped me
Mam you are looking so tired today please take care of yourself ❤
Not tired..but angry. I am doing good. But thank you for your concern 😊🙏.
@@maitriwomanhealth Vaginal Steaming is NOT harmful. Just because science has not figured it out does not make it wrong. Rest your anger aside and go try it. It is always freeing to be open-minded about things.
Im a Dude And I still Found this Interesting Because in case I get a partner I can help educate her if she isn't Aware 😊
Ma'am please do a video on DCDA twin pregnancy for third trimester
Very informative video 💯💯💯❤️
Thank you!
Hats off to you Mam it's really necessary for this young generation to know what is good and bad regarding reproductive health and it's a great job from Maitri in creating awareness about it.....I really loved your content...😍🤗☺️
thank you!
Means alot Mam 😍
Ma'am is it okay to use a heating pad around vaginal area ( from outside the clothes/ pants) to minimise the pain during periods when the sanitary pad is at the place?
Use the heating pad on lower back not around private areas. Or maybe even lower abdomen with caution.
If you have discomfort then everytime you change your pads wash with hot water or run hot water with a mug/jug. It will help relax the muscles.
You must not truly know the history of this method. So for you to think it’s a new fad, is wrong Information.
If there is nog any evidence. Wouldnt it be great to experiment and see what it actually does? I mean I dont like the fact that you can say these things and you can still try it and do experiments if science is involved. We should learn more about it than to just leave it there.
No! vaginal steaming might seriously harm your vagina!
Ma'am I had unprotected sex on 10th jan and 11th jan...and my next date was on 14th jan...but I haven't got my periods till date...today i did a pregnancy test using prega news ...but it came negative....what are my chances of pregnancy...and the day I had sex...the discharge was watery ,stretchy, transparent and I had mild abdominal and back pain
Hi madam
What happened if sac size is bigger than fetus
Plz reply madam
My sac size 5+2 weeks
Crl is 6tb week
Mam please let me know whether eating of raw rice is harmful...if so how to avoid that habit
Still in ayurvedic hospitals...they give yoni steam for vagainal infections but the process is different...I saw with my eyes in october 2023 in India...
Dr I would appreciate if you make a video on importance of sex in healthy and happy family life.
Yoni steaming isn't treating anything. It's more like a vitamin for the vagina. It encourages the vagina to purge what needs to come out and put in what the vagina needs. We know vaginal steaming isn't western medicine so....this video makes sense
This is an age old African practice by women for beautification and female sexual arousal as well as for the male partner, and also post partum for the mother. We use the bukhor stand or a wooden netted stand or a wooden/leather chair and light up the resins like frankincense and myrrh and herbs underneath. I'm shocked this doctor doesn't know about this!!! Come on now, we need to do better than this and not ignorantly bash non medical academic knowledge. There are thousands of traditional knowledge that have been and are being practised that only now science is catching up with. This is certainly not celebrity marketing. We have been doing this for generations in many parts of the world for its many benefits and no side effects like bacterial interference etc. Hopefully the general public is open minded about natural habits and practices that they haven't heard about.
I am a bit horrified at how closed minded this Dr. is… I have done it with fresh herbs and with great success. I fear sometimes that modern medicine is so closed minded and doesn’t take logic and anecdotal evidence as meaningful. Disappointed… Absolutely disappointed… While I am a science major myself, I learned, that there are many wonderful natural treatments out there that get debunked for no reason at all.
Bless her little heart. I have herbs and steam boxes for sale. 😮💨😅
What about Yani pearls vagina suppositories? Herbal tea bags for 48 hour cleansing?
My goodness I've never heard about this... How do these spas come up with these ideas !! Scary !!
this practice has been around for decades lol nothing new. You are just late to the party ;)
@@priscillazuniga1118 thank you, womb steaming saved my whole reproductive system💯🤞🏿🙌🏾
What! Does it really even exist. Come on man we are in 2022 with ocean of knowledge and still,......just out of words😅
Could you do a video about bv?
I have one live experienced on ancient herbal treatment.I had endometriotic cyst of 3 cm in one ovary,I had gone through allopathy for 1 year medication but result was nill.Just by 1 month herbal treatment I got result effective which reduced to 1 cm was amazing..
How did you treat endometriosis means which herbs did you use to treat?
What herbal treatment u took pls share with us
@@syedrafeeq310 I took treatment from a village female vaid she never share the names of herbs,she collects herself and gives to the patients.
Ma'am how to stop queefing
🌸🌸
🙌🏻
She’s says no but has no qualms about writing a prescription that was man-made in a lab, not something natural that comes from the Earth! Yea ok… sure
I don't know how the people are inventing such baseless treatments.. I'm 27 and I always follow what our mothers and grandmothers have been following.. They were living such a healthy life without doing any such experiments with their body.. I don't even use v-wash.. Idk if it should be used or not but I just avoid doing any such thing.. Our body has self healing powers.. Why to disturb it?
Excellent
@@maitriwomanhealth kudos to you mam for spreading awareness about such topics 🙏 God bless you
It would be hilarious if women find out that the reason for steaming is that hot baths were unfeasible for these women. Americans, a lost generation now looking to others to find themselves. Being a leader is too difficult these days.
After watching this video can we all please move to my handle. I am eagerly waiting for all of you cuties...🌸
I think she should go do research and make sure the people she’s researching are the color of the people that the culture it came from. A YT can do it but WHO taught her ??? The same folks taught y’all EVERYTHING
If it makes someone feel better then it works. Duh 🙄 Even doctors admit they don't know everything ...
You don't know what you are talking about
I wish they never misuse yoni dhupana like this 🤦
🤦🏻♀️
Thank you Doctor 😊 make sure not ove do it...
1st time heard the same.. Seriously disgusting.. Y unnecessarily Complicate .. Thank you so much for sharing ❤❤
Madam can I talk to you personally
You can book a consultation by calling at 9810781931
I don't see the point. Just take an herbal bath.
