Peristeam hydrotherapy

Vaginal steaming

A gentle, warming practice used by women for thousands of years — across Korea, Central and South America, Africa, Indonesia, the Caribbean and beyond — to care for the womb between cycles.

The seven imbalances

Most women carry more than one — which is why your plan evolves over time.

01

Stagnation

Poor circulation leaving old residue. Brown or black blood, clots, cramping, heavy and painful periods.

02

Excess heat

Too much heat in the system. Hot flashes, night sweats, infections, heavy bleeding — common in (peri)menopause.

03

Dryness

Not enough fluid, often tied to kidney deficiency. Flaky discharge, dry blood, night sweats.

04

Dampness

Excess mucus and fluid. Discolored discharge, fibroids and recurring infections.

05

Blood deficiency

Not enough blood being built. Pale, pink or orange blood, spotting, periods under four days, anemia.

06

Uterine fatigue

A uterus worn down by stress and too little rest. Spotting and short periods (spleen qi deficiency).

07

Weak digestion

Food not broken down or absorbed well. Nausea, bloating and overall fatigue.
