The medicinal herbal steam bath, practiced for centuries by indigenous Mesoamerican cultures such as the Mexica (also known as the Aztecs) and Maya to enhance physical and mental health, is making a global comeback. This ancestral remedy eliminates toxins, improves blood circulation, relieves muscle and joint pain, clears the respiratory tract, reduces stress, and strengthens the immune system.<\/p>\n

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 80% of the world\u2019s population uses medicinal plants. On its website, the organization provides detailed catalogs outlining the uses and benefits of these herbs.<\/p>\n

Lizeth Cuara, CEO of Misty Phases, has revived the Mexican tradition of herbal steam baths used since pre-Hispanic times, bringing it back to women as a natural, alternative, and practical resource to help them restore physical and emotional well-being during the postpartum period. \u201cIt\u2019s time to restore the true importance of care and attention that mothers need during the postpartum period\u2014a time when many women experience fatigue, abdominal and back pain, and even depression,\u201d says Cuara.<\/p>\n

According to the product designer specializing in postpartum recovery, the herbal steam bath, a Mexican ancestral tradition also practiced in Latin America, China, India, Africa, and Europe, not only eliminates toxins and restores body warmth but also reduces pelvic inflammation, encourages uterine contraction, and relieves afterbirth pains.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand how difficult it can be to find the ingredients for this healing recipe passed down through generations by our mothers and grandmothers. That\u2019s why at Misty Phases, we\u2019ve carefully selected and packaged these medicinal herbs to deliver them directly to mothers in the comfort of their homes,\u201d explains Cuara.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The traditional recipe, used by women around the world, blends the following healing herbs:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lavender:<\/strong> Has antiseptic and healing properties that promote cell regeneration. Its relaxing effects reduce stress and anxiety and improve sleep quality.<\/p>\n

Raspberry Leaf:<\/strong> Strengthens the uterus, pelvic muscles, and bones. Its astringent qualities help calm spasms and aid healing from childbirth or cesarean incisions.<\/p>\n

Aloe Vera:<\/strong> Anti-inflammatory, hydrates the skin, and promotes wound healing.<\/p>\n

Chamomile:<\/strong> Soothes body stress, enhances sleep, and balances postpartum emotions.<\/p>\n

Rue:<\/strong> Eases body pain and helps heal wounds.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How to do an herbal steam bath at home:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just put on a full-body steam bathrobe and sit on a chair. Then, place a tub of previously boiled herbs underneath your body so the steam is trapped inside the robe, creating a home-style sauna that supports the healing and relaxation process.<\/p>\n

From the use of healing herbs to the design of postpartum girdles that help reduce pain, improve muscle tone, and bring abdominal muscles back together, Misty Phases is fully committed to the holistic well-being of women during this essential stage of life.<\/p>\n

Ba\u00f1o de hierbas medicinales, la tradici\u00f3n ancestral que conquista el mundo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Por Adriana Guzm\u00e1n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

El ba\u00f1o de vapor con hierbas medicinales, practicado desde hace siglos por diversas culturas ind\u00edgenas mesoamericanas como los mexicas y mayas para mejorar la salud f\u00edsica y mental; elimina toxinas, mejora la circulaci\u00f3n sangu\u00ednea, alivia dolores musculares y articulares, despeja las v\u00edas respiratorias, reduce el estr\u00e9s y refuerza el sistema inmunol\u00f3gico.<\/p>\n

La Organizaci\u00f3n Mundial de la Salud (OMS) estima que el 80% de la poblaci\u00f3n mundial utiliza plantas medicinales. En su sitio web, el organismo ofrece cat\u00e1logos con informaci\u00f3n detallada sobre los usos y beneficios de estas plantas.<\/p>\n

Lizeth Cuara, directora general de Misty Phases, rescat\u00f3 la tradici\u00f3n mexicana del ba\u00f1o de vapor de hierbas medicinales utilizada desde tiempos prehisp\u00e1nicos, para regres\u00e1rselas a las mujeres como un recurso alternativo, natural y pr\u00e1ctico, que les ayude a recuperar el bienestar f\u00edsico y emocional durante el periodo postparto. \u201cEs tiempo de restablecer la verdadera importancia del cuidado y atenci\u00f3n que requieren las madres durante el postparto, periodo en que las madres pueden padecer de cansancio, dolor en el vientre, en la espalda y en el abdomen, adem\u00e1s de depresi\u00f3n\u201d asegura Cuara.<\/p>\n

De acuerdo con la dise\u00f1adora de productos enfocados en transformar el cuidado postparto, el ba\u00f1o de hierbas medicinales, una tradici\u00f3n ancestral mexicana practicada tambi\u00e9n por diversas culturas de Am\u00e9rica Latina, China, India, \u00c1frica y Europa no s\u00f3lo ayuda a eliminar toxinas y a restaurar el calor corporal, sino que tambi\u00e9n desinflama la zona p\u00e9lvica, favorece la contracci\u00f3n del \u00fatero y alivia los dolores conocidos como \u201centuertos.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Entendemos lo complicado que puede ser conseguir los ingredientes de esta receta de sanaci\u00f3n transmitida de generaci\u00f3n en generaci\u00f3n por nuestras madres y abuelas, por eso en Misty Phases hemos seleccionado y empaquetado cuidadosamente estas hierbas medicinales para entregarlas directamente a las madres, en la comodidad de su hogar,” explica Lizeth Cuara.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nuestra receta tradicional que utilizan varias mujeres alrededor del mundo combina las siguientes hierbas por sus propiedades curativas:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lavanda:<\/strong> Posee propiedades cicatrizantes y antis\u00e9pticas que promueven la regeneraci\u00f3n celular. Sus efectos relajantes reducen el estr\u00e9s, la ansiedad y mejoran la calidad del sue\u00f1o.<\/p>\n

Hoja de Frambuesa:<\/strong> Fortalece \u00fatero, m\u00fasculos p\u00e9lvicos y huesos. Sus propiedades astringentes calman los espasmos y ayudan a cicatrizar las incisiones derivadas del parto o la ces\u00e1rea.<\/p>\n

S\u00e1bila:<\/strong> Tiene efectos antiinflamatorios, hidrata la piel y facilita la cicatrizaci\u00f3n de heridas.<\/p>\n

Manzanilla:<\/strong> Sus efectos calmantes alivian el estr\u00e9s corporal, mejoran el sue\u00f1o y equilibran las emociones postparto.<\/p>\n

Ruda:<\/strong> Alivia los dolores corporales y heridas.<\/p>\n

Para realizar el ba\u00f1o de hierbas solo se debe usar una bata de ba\u00f1o de vapor que nos cubra todo el cuerpo y sentarse en una silla. Despu\u00e9s se coloca una tina con las hierbas previamente hervidas en el suelo, justo debajo de nuestro cuerpo, para que los vapores queden atrapados dentro de la bata, creando un ambiente similar a una sauna casera que favorezca el proceso de sanaci\u00f3n y relajaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Tras a\u00f1os de investigaci\u00f3n, Lizeth Cuara, ha recuperado la sabidur\u00eda de las mejores pr\u00e1cticas de sanaci\u00f3n ancestrales y las ha modernizado para apoyar a las madres. Desde el uso de hierbas con propiedades curativas, hasta el dise\u00f1o de fajas postparto que ayudan a disminuir el dolor, mejorar el tono muscular y unir los m\u00fasculos abdominales. Misty Phases est\u00e1 comprometida con el bienestar integral de las mujeres en esta etapa tan importante de su vida.<\/p>\n
