General CONTRAINDICATIONS for STEAMING:  

You may choose another style of application if steaming is contraindicated

• Active fever from infection  (see notes below).
• Ulcerated or open wound susceptible to infection (see notes below).
• Menstruation or ovulation.
• Spontaneous bleeding, heavy or light, outside of usual cycle (any bleeding times).
• During Miscarriage (again, any gyne bleeding times).
• During Pregnancy.  (Post partum steaming can begin around 9-13 days after giving birth. For each case it is best to consult a post partum steam trained practitioner as it depends on diagnosis). 
• After ovulation while trying to conceive. (Steaming has been used to develop egg quality in advance as part of fertility preparation). 

NOTES  on Contraindications:

The contraindication for infection is about the presence of a) fever or b) open wounds which will get worse with damp and steam. 

1. A) FEVER: If someone has a fever due to an infection, (gyne infection or otherwise) steaming is contraindicated, but you will often see hot baths or showers recommended for certain types of fever but not for others. With diagnosis, a practitioner can look at what the nature of the cause of the fever is and if warmth and steam will help to resolve it and release the exterior, or if it will exacerbate heat and fever.  If you are unsure, or if the fever is going to get worse from a steam, then you can  consider if using the herbal decoction as a douche would be appropriate. You may also decide to wait until the fever has resolved. The applicator syringe is 60ml with a catheter tip which is great for douche insertion and you can use less water than you would to create the douche decoction as for a steam decoction. Amounts and temperature guides are given in the instructions.
2. B) OPEN WOUNDS: If someone has any open skin wounds that can get infected from the toes up to the waist then steaming can be a risk because you wrap the whole lower body in a sheet or blanket to keep the steam inside. Things like leg ulcers would be a direct risk with steaming. Again you can decide if a body temperature or slightly warmer douche might be appropriate. If there are open wounds on the upper half of the body that are not infected or ulcerated they will often be ok, as long as the steam blanket is wrapped from the toes to the waist. 

OPTIONS FOR EACH KIT – detailed instructions come with each kit.
