V-STEAM / YONI STEAM

I decided to try out the V-Steam at VSpot Medi Spa after I had such great success with pelvic floor therapy for my hip pain. I have become more aware and intrigued with how connected one’s pelvic health is with one’s entire body. More commonly known as Yoni Steaming, when you steam your vagina with herbs. VSpot Medi Spa coined the phrase “V-Steam”’for their specific service. Yoni steaming is supposed to help relax the pelvic floor, amongst many other benefits. A friend told my about VSpa. She had done it done 3 times and it helped her heal a vaginal tear after giving birth.

I laid down in a dimly lit room, as steam infused with therapeutic herbs were targeted toward my V. VSPOT uses the herbs of basil, calendula, mugwort, marshmallow root, wormwood and rose petals.

The herbal steam dilates the blood vessels to increase blood circulation by providing oxygen to the area, and in turn, relaxes the pelvic floor muscles.

As my V got steamed, the technician massaged my abdomen with remedial oil. To finish the treatment, an LED light was placed the same region. The light has antibacterial effects, helping to reduce any odor.

I plan on continuing this treatment at home over the next few weeks and will keep you guys posted! I wanted to try it for the first time professionally to make sure I had a better handle on what to do.

WHEN TO STEAM:

Before menstrual cycle, unless you desire to become pregnant. If you desire to become pregnant, do not steam after ovulation. Women who are pregnant or have an IUD should not Yoni Steam.

Have any of you tried this treatment before? I am curious if you have and if it has helped you at all. Please leave in comments to share with others.

Ionic Foot Bath

FullSizeRender (2).jpg

It is difficult to find reliable sources on the Ionic Foot Bath. I usually like to source all of my blogs from reliable sources. For this particular article, I will state some information on what an Ionic Foot Bath is and my own experience with them.

What is an Ionic foot baths?

In simple terms: Removes toxins by generating positive and negative ions which are able to attach themselves to impurities that are oppositely charged in your feet.

In more detailed terms: The bath operates through a process called electrolysis. In this process, an electrical current is generated within the foot bath water which causes the molecules of water to divide producing negative ions. Once an abundance of these negative ions are present in the foot bath water, the body then absorbs the ions through osmosis, which is the movement of particles through a membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. In this case, the higher concentration refers to the negative ions produced by the ion field that is set up by placing electrodes into the water. As the vast majority of foreign contaminate matter found on the feet and within the body is positively charged, including such matter as harmful chemicals, heavy metals, parasites and other such materials, the negative ions are attracted to the positively charged foreign contaminates and bind with those foreign contaminates. The body then can readily eliminate the bound foreign contaminates through its own natural processes.

Toxins Removed:

  • Heavy Metal Toxicity
  • Lactic Acids
  • Pesticides/Fungicides
  • Cholesterol Deposits
  • Drugs/Medication Debris
  • Lymphatic Congestion
  • Cellular Debris
  • Exhaust Fumes
  • Parasites
  • Second Hand Smoke

Benefits:

  • Liver Detoxification
  • Increases Energy
  • Reduces Stress
  • Pain Relief
  • Improves Memory & Sleep
  • Sexual Health
  • Stronger Immune System
  • Oxygenates Your Cells
  • Better Well Being & Attitude
  • Calms & Relaxes

My Experience

Based on how your foot bath looks at the end of the session, tells you what toxins were pulled from your body through the pores of your feet. Common colors are orange for joint toxins, blue for hormonal toxins or black for liver toxins. Usually within your first few foot baths, the color will get darker, which indicates more toxins being released. As you continue to get the foot baths on a regular basis, the water should get lighter. I have had many foot baths. I have noticed this pattern occur in my foot baths. There was a time a few months ago my water was almost completely black. I noticed that my bath always has a heavy dose of colors specific to my “problem areas” of my body. I have had people sitting next to me with completely blue baths who tell me they have hormone problems and that their bath is always that color. Also based on my observation, usually older or those with serious illness have very dark baths, indicating high toxicity levels. Based on these observations it seems like there is some validity to the Ionic Foot Bath detox.
