What Is Yoni Steaming?

Yoni steaming, also known as vaginal steaming, is an ancient practice that uses the heat from herbal steam to lightly permeate the outside of a woman’s vagina and allow detoxification. Sound scary? Herbal Healers around the world have been using this practice for centuries. It allows a woman the chance to reconnect with her body and use plant medicine to improve her menstrual cycle and to regulate various health issues.

How Does Yoni Steaming Work?

Menstrual cramps and infertility can be derived by a build up of uterine lining that was not shed in a previous cycle. The muscles around the uterine wall have to work overtime when excess builds up which can cause pain and fatigue. If you're like me and have experienced this first hand, you know how painful it can be to experience. A yoni steam carries medicinal plant oils to the yoni (vaginal) tissue.

These tissues are extremely absorbent, which allows the bloodstream to absorb these healing plant oils and then take them into the inner reproductive system. Once there, they aid the uterus in cleansing and repairing itself. This cleansing process makes the implantation of an egg easier as well as facilitating the healing of other uterine abnormalities.

How To Yoni Steam

The easiest way to yoni steam at home is to boil distilled water and pour it over a clean bowl, sitz bath, toilet or pot containing our secret garden yoni steam herbs and flowers. Allow this mixture to cool enough so as not to burn your delicate yoni tissue. Sit on this steam bath and wrap your lower body with clean towels or blankets in order to contain the healing steam bath. Relax for 5-30 minutes while allowing the steam to penetrate and work its magic.
