WHAT IS A YONI?
Yoni is a Sanskrit word for what has been called the source, womb, or vagina. As we all know, the yoni endures many phases and conditions over time. And with this being the case, it is essential to make efforts to properly heal the yoni and maintain a healthy reproductive system. Problems like menstrual cramps, irregular periods, infections, infertility, low sexual energy, and more can be helped through the practice of yoni steaming.
WHAT IS YONI STEAMING?
Yoni steaming, also known as a v-steam or vaginal steaming, is a centuries-old self-care practice used by women around the world for healing and support for a healthy reproductive system. Yoni steams are where a woman uses a unique herb blend and prepares it like tea. Once the blend is ready, she sits over a warm steam vessel, allowing the herbs to gently infuse her yoni.
While this practice is excellent for your vagina, it is also beneficial to help with overall relaxation, balance, and well-being. When yoni steaming, you can look to enjoy benefits like:
- Increased sexual energy
- Eases menopause symptoms
- Balances mood
- Promotes relaxation
- Strengthens the womb and tightens the vagina
- Detoxifies the womb
- Relieves vaginal dryness
- Heals the womb after childbirth
- Promotes healthy vaginal odor
- Ease anxiety and depression
- Reduces menstrual pain and bloating
- Regulates menstrual cycle
- Treats bacterial and yeast infections
- Helps with infertility
- Helps with uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts
- Soothe and heal hemorrhoids
WHEN SHOULD I STEAM?
Steams can be done any time of the month as long as you’re not menstruating. Regarding the frequency, you can steam as frequently or infrequently as you like. Depending on your goals or preference, you can steam every week, once a month, or even every six months; ultimately, it is your discretion. When it comes to the time of day, it is a good idea to steam closer to the time you would go to bed, as it is suggested to lay down not long after you steam to allow your body to rest and take in the effects of the steam.
At the same time, be careful not to steam during other sensitive periods. This includes not doing so if you are ovulating or trying to conceive. You should also not steam if you are pregnant, have an intrauterine device, have an infection with a fever, or have open sores or blisters.
HOW TO STEAM
When doing yoni steams, you sit over a special herb blend steam pot, prepared per the package instructions, anywhere from 10-30 minutes. You can use a bowl in your toilet or even a specially designed yoni steam stool like the one available here. Before sitting, ensure the steam is at a comfortable temperature. Once at the desired temperature, remove your underwear, take a seat over the steam blend, and a large towel or blanket over your lower half to ensure no steam escapes. While steaming, you can take this time to meditate and focus on your intentions for steaming, read a book, burn a candle, or do anything which fosters peace and relaxation for you. Once your steam session is complete, discard your herbs and rest for at least 15 minutes in your bed or with a warm blanket.
After steaming, you will notice immediate changes, including feeling incredibly relaxed, tired, or even possibly emotional. As the days go on, you might also see increased cervical mucus, lighter periods, changes in cycle, dark blood clots, and a more in-tune sense of your femininity. All are normal and are part of the rejuvenating process.
