There are many beautifully hand-crafted steam chairs available to purchase online; however, if you want to get started right away and give it a try first this is a simple setup that you can easily put together with items you have at home. You'll need a medium sized pot with a lid, your herbal steam blend, a light sheet, some pillows and possibly a towel.

Our simple step by step guide

  1. Fill the pot with clean water about 2/3rds full and add 3-4 Tbsp of the herbal blend.
  2. Bring water to a boil and reduce to simmer for 10 minutes with lid on. 
  3. Setup where you'll be steaming either using a couch or bed. The pot will go on the floor when ready and you'll be kneeling over the pot while leaning forward with your upper body resting on the couch or bed. Have pillows available for your head and arms. Grab a sheet or a light blanket to wrap around your waist and place a towel on the floor if it's not carpeted (don't burn your floor!).
  4. Carefully move the pot with cooked herbs to your steam location, keeping the lid on. Place it on the towel (carpet is fine too). 
  5. Undress from waist down.
  6. Check steam temperature by removing the lid and using the palm of your hand over the steam.
  7. If it feels too hot, wait 15-30 seconds and check again.
  8. When the temperature feels good (warm but not too hot), carefully place your knees to each side of the pot. Again if it feels too hot, take a short break and return. 
  9. Wrap the sheet or light blanket around you from the waist down to keep the steam in.
  10. Lean forward and rest for 10-15 minutes. Enjoy!

Reminder, healing is in all ways possible and only you can discern if this is the right herbal support for you. Some people choose to speak with a healthcare professional before taking a new herbal product. Womb Medicine products are designed to support your vital life force. They do not prevent or treat dis-ease in the body, your innate wisdom does that!
