13 YEARS! Gynecologist just gave me antibiotics every time I got bv and I got bv several times a year! Never ONCE did she say well switch from Always to a natural/plant base menstrual pad/tampon for example (honey pot), or switch to plant base bath wash for example (dr. Bronners). I was diagnosed with PCOS and became sun fertile and all this gynecologist said was accept it. I did steaming, changed my diet and guess what!? My menstrual is regular, no more cramps! No more cysts, I’m pregnant and NOT high risk.

Leaves this video to purchase a steaming kit lol

You’re the only one saying no.
I been going to a doctor for years and I’m sorry but y’all are not helping.

As an African, as women we are completely obsessed with how our daughters/women hygiene, we love being clean, we do herbal vaginal steaming as soon as our period finishes, we do it after childbirth, and we teach our daughters as well!! I think western medicine has way too many opinions because people don’t consult with experts before doing it!!!

[wellness]

Some doctors think they know everything, but they don't.😒😬

[tylamoss]

Doctors go to school for 20+ damn years and always tryna tell people what’s not good for them... forget y’all 🙄

V-Steams have worked to help me reduce cramps and fibroids. It kept me out of the obgyn’s office and stopped me from having to get fibroids surgically removed 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’ve not had any burns, infections or negative side affects. Also I no longer get BV. Just my personal experience.

[ItsTiffany]

Sis? 😭🤣

You clearly don’t know how it works Doc. This is not about douching hun. It’s an ancient tradition that’s kept vagina’s healthy and juicy for centuries

[kathyothic]

I'm from Southern part of Africa, our ancestors past the knowledge down to us, they used to steam and do herbal baths, they never had the issuea we have today, , your information is misleading.. Plus I work in the medical field and I know what this chemicals do to the human body 🙄🙄🙄🙄

This is incorrect. A person either steams for 10 ( mild steam) 30 mins (Advance Steam) No longer than that. If a person is able to steam because some women have contraindications that won't allow them to steam. In those women are referred out to a qualified & certified person.There are 4 different steams design for women cycles or if they just want to cleanse after their cycle. The problem is Doctor's are misinformed about Steaming. Steaming HAS been around for centuries but, mostly done in China, Haiti, Jamacia, Trindad just to name a few. Steaming isn't really heard of here in the states very few people know about it. We aren't just out here steaming if a person is going to a certified person. There is actually a strict screening that has to be done first before a person can steam. This intake screening asked questions like cycles days, if any dicharge, if they have had 2 periods with in the last 3 months, are they pregnant, trying to conceive or are they on birth control etc. Steaming is based off of a woman's cycle days. The temperature is adjusted based on the clients desire. Steaming has help me get rid of infections that I kept being prone to in the only thing GYN kept offering me was Antibiotics that would only give me a yeast infection. I had very bad cycles, cyst & fibriods. I tried steaming a year ago out of desperation! It was my only choice! I would bleed for months at at time in the only 3 options the Doctor's gave me was a DNC, Birth Control & Hysterectomy. Not to mention I wanted more kids but, I was told medically 10 years ago I would never be able to carry any more children due to scar tissue & fluid. So I tried steaming! what the heck could I loose!? And I am so glad I did!! Steaming has actually shrunk my fibroids & cyst. I was able to get pregnant this year and I have not any heavy bleeding or infections since steaming! So yes, Steaming changed my life LITERALLY! In hence is why I decided to get out that side of the medical field in became a Certified Vaginal Steam Facilitor. I am also studying Herbalism. This is the way the world is moving. People are tired of taking medicines that don't work and have a 1000 side effects. Naural medicine WORKS. When steaming is done correctly by a certified person there are MANY benefits. We actually study like you do Doc with all due respect. This is Holistic Health and I was in the medical field for 16 years and I enjoy this side better! I enjoy seeing people actually getting better without medicine refills.. This is all plant base and natural!

Misconceptions regarding V-Steam :
1. Vagina is self cleaning. This is biologically accurate- so is the colon and it still gets compacted.
2. Steam injury- 99% will get into a shower that is to hot...and move out of the way...the same with steaming. The "label" warming do not sit on it if it burns the inside of your wrist.
3. Evidence- there are currently studies being conducted to give validity for steaming being a legit treatment option- stay tuned.


Dr. Caudle....I am a steam practitioner and a herbalist. Let's do a "experiment" if you will. I look forward to speaking with you. :)

I vaginal steam every month. I have 0 cramps. And my cycle last no more than 3 days. My Grandmother taught me to do this as a way to heal after childbirth and to tighten my vaginal walls.

[mbtilover]

Yall don’t be mad at her. Doctors are trained to manage disease (MD) not to cure it. It’s up for you to do proper research and trial yourself and also review to make sure you aren’t harming yourself. People from hundreds and thousands of years ago didn’t have prescriptions it’s up to you to find those herbs and healthy foods that are beneficial to your body.

[tashascott]

Vaginal steaming and Yoni pearls did wayyy more for me than what my OBGYN prescribed me. Also, you’re a medical trained Dr. who took an Oath to Western Medicine. It’s expected for you to make these accusations!

[peacefuljourney]

I really don't need any advice from Medical Doctors because if something has not studied does not mean it doesn't work.

[cahdejahwalker]

Yall don’t help us with these things. I do NOT want to be on birth control and thats the only option several gynecologists have given thus far

[kdozier]

You make no sense, but then again, you're an MD. Medical Doctors know NOTHING but how to write prescriptions.

[qqutieked]

I rather see a Nurse Practitioner or a Herbalist for holistic care such as V-Steaming, rather than seeing a Doctor for a bunch of antibiotics/chemicals that either don't work or make symptoms worse.

[nameless]

So I had a c-section, then massive fibroids and clotting every month. I had a cycle for a whole month last year. I was given a few options:
1. Do nothing.
2. Take a higher hormonal pill which increases chances of heart attack.
3. Take a drug to stop cycle all together which was about $600 and I am sure insurance would not cover.
4. Burn the lining of uterus
5. Last step was hysterectomy.

I am on the pill now, but I will choose to do nothing past 1 and 2. So vaginal steaming...here I come.

It is not good to have this video up. Vaginal steaming could really enhance a woman’s life. I respect your position as a doctor but please take this video down because it’s not true and there are women who could truly benefit from the steams. They DO WORK.
