Vaginal steaming has been used for centuries across Korea, Central America, Africa, and Indigenous healing traditions — yet modern Western medicine still dismisses it.

So what actually happens when we bring steam and herbs to the womb?

Can it really reduce period pain, balance hormones, support fertility, and speed postpartum healing?

In this eye-opening conversation, Rahi Chun speaks with Kelli Garza, founder of Steamy Chick and one of the leading voices in modern vaginal steaming education and research.

After her own menstrual cycle disappeared due to trauma, Kelli discovered steaming — and watched her body restore itself almost immediately. That personal turning point sparked what would become Steamy Chick, now the most comprehensive resource for pelvic steaming education, practitioner training, and global data collection.

Together, they explore:

• What vaginal steaming actually is (and what it isn’t)
• How steam increases circulation, relaxes the pelvic floor, and supports hormonal balance
 • Why period pain, brown blood, and PMS are not “normal”
 • The roots of Western gynecology — and why holistic practices were pushed out
 • Why many doctors advise against steaming (hint: liability, not evidence)
 • The Steamy Chick testimonial database and real-world case studies
 • Fibroids, cramps, irregular cycles, BV, fertility, and scar tissue recovery
 • Postpartum healing and results from the Fourth Trimester Steam Study
 • Nervous system regulation and the vagus nerve connection
 • How steaming supports trauma recovery and reconnection to the pelvis
 • Men’s health benefits (prostate, circulation, erectile health)
 • Reclaiming sovereignty and body wisdom in women’s healthcare

This episode bridges ancient tradition, modern research, and embodied healing — offering practical, accessible tools for anyone who menstruates or cares for someone who does.
