Yoni steaming, also known as vaginal steaming, is a practice in which a woman allows the warmth of herbal steam to permeate the exterior of her vagina. Respected by healers around the globe, yoni steaming is an opportunity to reconnect with your body and utilize the wisdom of plant medicine to heal your cycle.

Yoni steams have been found by women throughout history to:

• Significantly reduce pain, bloating and exhaustion associated with menstruation.
• Decrease menstrual flow as well as reduce dark purple or brown blood at the onset or end of menses.
• Regulate irregular or absent menstrual cycles.
• Speed healing and tone the reproductive system after birth.
• Reduce uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, uterine weakness, uterine prolapse & endometriosis.
• Assist with the repair of a vaginal tear, episiotomy, or C-section scar.
• Assist with the healing of hemorrhoids.
• Relieve chronic vaginal/yeast infections, and works to maintain healthy odor.
• Ease symptoms of menopause including dryness or pain during intercourse.
• Detoxify the womb and remove toxins from the body.

Vaginal Steam Seat

Ensure that the vaginal steam seat is sturdy and that it is placed far enough above the steam not to cause a burn. 

Sitting over a hot pan can be really dangerous so it is advised to purchase a wooden seat with a hole over it or make your own.. I would love to see your designs.

Herb Pot

The hot steam should not be in a plastic bowl as is commonly shown on youtube DIY setups. Toxins from the plastic can leak into the water. Glass jars are also common but often break if the water is too hot. The best setup will have the water and herbs in a clay, glass or stainless steel pot.

Beneficial herbs include:

lavender, rose, chamomile, motherwort, and calendula. Create a balanced blend with the herbs above & use 1 cup each time you steam.

Avoid:

During menstruation

Steaming while bleeding can be dangerous because the steam speeds up the blood flow and can cause heavy bleeding.

During Pregnancy

Steaming while pregnant can be dangerous because the steam relaxes and opens the cervix, which could result in miscarriage or early labor.

After Insemination While Trying to Conceive

Steaming after insemination could interfere with the sperm, fertilization or implantation. 

Hot Flashes

Since steaming introduces heat to the body so, it might trigger hot flashes and should probably be avoided when hot flashes are present.

During Miscarriage

In rare cases this might lead to heavy bleeding and can be dangerous.
