Great reading for you.

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.

Benefits of Yoni Steaming

  • A significant decrease in pain, bloating and exhaustion associated with menstruation
  • A lessening of the strength of a woman’s menstrual flow as well as decreasing the risk of developing dark purple or brown during the beginning of menses
  • Correction of irregular or absent menstrual cycles
  • Increasing fertility
  • Speeding healing and recovery of the reproductive system after birth
  • Aiding in the restoration of a vaginal tear, episiotomy, or C-section scar
  • Aiding with the healing of hemorrhoids
  • Reducing pain associated with chronic vaginal / yeast infections 
  • Reducing symptoms of menopause including dryness or pain during intercourse
  • Detoxifying the womb and helping to release toxins from the body
  • Help in letting go of stored emotions and tap into the feminine energy that is our creative potential

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  blends. 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.

Additional Information

Yoni steaming, also known as vaginal steaming or v-steam,  is a sacred self-care practice that has been used by women for centuries to heal and tone the vagina. By applying gentle heat and moisture, herbal steam permeates the external vagina and carries medicinal plant properties to the tissues, increasing circulation. The plant medicines are absorbed into the bloodstream and circulated into the reproductive system where they help to stimulate healing.

This powerful ritual helps nourish the vagina while healing and restoring divine femininity. Steaming helps improve stagnation and cleanses old residue in the vaginal canal and womb space. If blood from the previous menstrual cycle has not been properly cleared, the body identifies it as a foreign substance. This activates muscles in the abdomen to attempt to push it out of the body. This muscle contracting action often results in painful cramps. Doing vaginal steams assists the body with cleansing and improves circulation, which enhances the body’s own healing mechanisms. On an emotional level, steaming activates a connection to femininity and is a powerful act of self-love.

For many women, this is a self-care practice that can be done 1-2 x per month (though never during your period or ovulation) unless there are deeper issues you are working on healing, such as infertility and hormone-related imbalances. In these cases, and postpartum, or  work with your midwife or doula. There are also many (Korean) spas offering v-steam that can prepare a unique blend for your specific needs and body. Many offer the combination of v-steam and womb massage, which when combined, work to clear stagnation and promote circulation to the area. 

The Benefits of Yoni Steaming 

There are several benefits to the sacred practice of yoni steaming, varying from emotional and spiritual healing to physical cleansing. Different women steam for different reasons. It’s essential that you know what you are doing, what herbs you are using & why, and that you don’t over steam. The frequency of yoni-steaming rituals varies from woman to woman; pay attention to your body’s signals and find a pattern that works for you. 

Balancing Menses

A healthy period is generally 3-4 days of moderate bright red blood flow without clots.

Doing vaginal steams 1x the week before your period and 1x the week after your period can assist in relieving menstrual pain & reducing brown blood, thereby balancing menstrual issues over time.

Increasing Fertility

The importance of proper circulation and full clearance of each menstrual cycle is especially important in achieving optimal fertility. If there’s a build-up of past menses, tissues, cysts, etc., then there’s a chance that a fertilized egg will be unable to complete the implantation process. Yoni-steaming supports proper blood flow to the pelvic area and therefore helps prepare the womb for a possible pregnancy. 

*never steam when pregnant or if you think you might be!

Postpartum Healing

Yoni steaming has been utilized as a standard postpartum ritual for women around the world. This is often done under the care and advice of a midwife to promote healing from the birthing process and support postpartum recovery. In addition to physical healing of the delicate tissue, the new mom also benefits from emotional and spiritual healing as she lovingly takes care of her womb that has just brought a beautiful new life into the world.

Herbs to use 

Perhaps the most important consideration of yoni steaming is the herbs you choose to use. 

You can find many brands and companies that have pre-packaged herbal blends that are specific to yoni steaming or you can buy your own herbs from mountain rose herbs & create your own blends. 

Beneficial herbs include: lavender, rose, chamomile, motherwort, and calendula. 

Nourishing herbs include: Red Raspberry Leaf & Nettles 

Create a balanced blend with the herbs above & use 1 cup each time you steam. 

The herbs above are common and safe for yoni steaming and are a great way to get started. 

If you are dealing with specific issues, it’s best to consult with a practitioner. 

More potent herbs include Juniper, Mugwort, Sage, Peppermint, Shatavari, Neem, Pau D’arco, and Yarrow. Many of these herbs work to stimulate menstruation, ease cramping, fight infections, clear scar tissue, plus tone and strengthen the vagina. 

*These herbs are quite powerful and work specifically for hormonal disorders and imbalances, it’s helpful to work with a practitioner or midwife for specific guidance or order a custom blend for yourself. 

How to Steam 

Turn on some calming music, burn some copal, palo santo, or incense, and grab a book -plus anything else you’d like to add to make your experience enjoyable.

Ideally, you have a steaming stool (available on steamy chick, etsy, amazon). Alternatively, an incredibly clean toilet will do or a place where you can squat over the herbs without burning yourself. *be very cautious not to touch the pot with your body. 

It’s often best to steep the herbs on the stove in 1 pot and then transfer them to another (cooled pot) for steaming. 

Start by boiling about 3 quarts of filtered water. Once boiling, add 1 cup of dried herbs, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat & let the mixture cool for 5 minutes. From there, you can transfer the herbs to a cool pot, place below your steam stool (or your super clean toilet) and get undressed from the waist down. 

Sit on your stool or toilet over the steam for 15-30 minutes. The steam should not feel too hot or aggressive. If it does, wait another 5 minutes & then try again. Use a towel to cover yourself and lock the steam in. Use this time for meditation, reading, or whatever feels right. When finished, discard the water and herbs in the garden or add them to your compost. 

Adjuncts to steaming 

Increasing blood flow and circulation throughout the whole body supports balanced hormones, fertility, and overall wellbeing. Integrate the following rituals into your routine on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. 

Exercise increases blood flow through the whole body which increases circulation, stimulates lymphatic drainage and clears stagnation. It is truly the fastest way to achieve overall physical and mental wellbeing. Anything that gets your heart rate up will pump more blood to your womb as well, such as walking, dancing, hiking, swimming, yoga, jogging, and resistance training. Long walks are a helpful and easy way to clear stagnation. Find an activity that you enjoy and you’re more likely to do regularly. Any form of movement, no matter how insignificant it may seem, is better than no movement at all.

Hydration If we aren’t hydrated properly, our blood will lack the water it needs to function optimally. Drink half your body weight (in pounds) in ounces of water daily. Keep in mind that alcohol and caffeine are diuretics, which flush fluids out of your body. So, for every drink or cup, consume an additional glass of water to replenish what you’ve lost.

Drink female supportive herbal infusions or blends throughout the month Herbs such as red raspberry leaf, nettle leaf, oat straw (and milky oat tops), plus rose all support the female system (helpful throughout the month) + burdock, dandelion support liver cleansing (especially helpful 1 week before your menstrual cycle).

Deep Breathing When our stress levels are low, the body can focus on its other functions, which are sometimes put on the backburner as our bodies deal with the acute stressors of everyday life in a fast-paced society. Take 5-10 minutes a day to honor yourself and focus on deep breathing.

Womb Massage Massaging the uterine area is especially helpful for those with hormonal imbalances or those trying to conceive. It can help to regulate the menstrual cycle, support reproductive health, and increase fertility. Create a massage oil with your favorite essential oil + an almond and apricot oil base. Massage the womb area for around 15 minutes on days when you are not ovulating or menstruating. Send yourself loving and healing thoughts during this nurturing pract
