🩸 Menstrual Cramps
That pain every month is not normal. And deep down, you know it too.
1 in 3 Dutch women cannot function normally during her period and that is not normal.
Did you know the Cleveland Clinic stated this?
"Mild cramping is normal. But severe cramping that prevents you from doing daily activities may mean you need treatment."
The Cleveland Clinic is one of the most renowned hospitals in the world, based in Ohio (USA).
Herken jij dit?
Every single month. Period pain that takes over your life.
You know how it goes. A few days before your period it already starts. The tension in your lower belly, that nagging back, the feeling that your body is rebelling.
We often think it just comes with the territory.
But that is not true. Severe menstrual cramps are a signal from your body that something is wrong. Sometimes they point to underlying conditions that go unnoticed for years.
Endometriose
Uterine lining outside the uterus. Affects 1 in 10 women.
Adenomyose
Lining grows into the uterine wall causing severe cramps.
Vleesbomen
Benign growths in the uterus that cause pain.
Dysmenorroe
Severe cramps caused by excessive prostaglandin production.
De aanpak
Relieving menstrual pain the natural way
Yoni steaming, also known as vaginal steaming or v-steam, is an ancient ritual used in Asian, African and Central American cultures. The warmth of herbal steam reaches the lining of your uterus and activates processes that painkillers skip. Many women use it to find relief from painful periods, period cramps and PMS symptoms.
- ✓Improves blood circulation in the pelvic area, reducing cramps and pain
- ✓Relaxes the uterine wall and reduces prostaglandin-driven contractions
- ✓Helps remove old, dark menstrual blood for a lighter period
- ✓Relieves associated complaints from endometriosis, adenomyosis and fibroids
- ✓Supports your body with warmth, without taking pills
Improves blood circulation
Heat widens blood vessels in the pelvic area, allowing oxygen and nutrients to reach the uterus more effectively.
Relaxes the uterine wall
Herbs like chamomile and lavender have a muscle-relaxing effect that softens contractions.
Reduces old blood
Regular steaming helps release old, dark menstrual blood faster for a lighter period.
"After steaming twice before my period I really notice the first day is much less intense. I reach for painkillers way less often."

When do you steam for menstrual cramps?
When you steam is just as important as how you do it. For menstrual cramps there is a specific schedule:
📅 Recommended steaming schedule
3 days before your period: steam once to prevent cramps
Directly after your period: steam once for cleansing and recovery
15 tot 20 minuten per sessie, bij voorkeur voor het slapengaan
Never during your period, always before or after
