My client came to me wanting to rid herself of lower abdomen pain which she attributed to the four caesareans she’s had. She had heard of peristeaming benefits for pain and scar tissue and wanted to give it a go. Her children were in their teen and pre-teen years, meaning her last caesarean was over a decade ago.

Despite this lengthy time frame, my client had considerable pain in the lower abdominal area which stopped her moving her body in ways she would like.
I prescribed her a steaming schedule of 3 days before and after her period, alternating the Replenish and Calm blends as she had a few other symptoms that we needed to tackle.

A fortnight after we first met (and her peristeaming at home), she expressed her desire to steam more often, as she found peristeaming lessened her abdominal pain considerably.

Given she was suffering from long term consequences of not recovering fully from her caesareans many years prior, I advised she can steam daily for 90 days, pausing for menses. This is a postpartum steaming schedule reserved for women who have scars and ongoing issues.

A few months pass, and she reported that her scar pain had gone completely, and she is able to go about her day-to-day activities with ease. The steam had loosened her scar adhesions and allowed her to move more freely.
