What is Vaginal Steaming?
Yoni Steaming, also known as vaginal steaming, is an ancient practice that uses steam from simmering herbs to penetrate, cleanse and heal the vagina and for overall womb wellness. Essentially, you sit naked from the waist down, on a special box or seat with a hole in the middle and allow the steam to gently penetrate your vagina. The tissues in your vagina are absorbent and the steam carries the oils and medicinal properties from the herbs up to your vagina and uterus. The practice of vaginal steaming has been around since the beginning of time and has always been used by Midwives and healers worldwide. Vaginal steaming resolves 99% of our gynecological issues, such as irregular cycles (short cycles, long cycles, absent cycles), uterine prolapse, PMS, childbirth prepping, postpartum healing, postpartum depression, infertility, yeast infections/BV, cramping, Ovarian cysts, fibroids, polyps, endometriosis, spotting etc.
A lot of our gynecological issues are due to a buildup of old blood and bacteria in our uterine lining and even in our fallopian tubes as a result of spiritual AND physical muck buildup. Yes, our vaginas are self cleansing, HOWEVER, we live in a society that is highly stressful. Our current lifestyles do not allow for an optimal environment for our uterus to heal properly. Steaming aids our uterus to heal energetically first, then physically.
Steaming is an inexpensive and gentle way of treating many issues that in fact would result in surgery or toxic medication to treat. Many Western Doctors will negate the practice, simply because they are not taught about it and many may claim there are no studies, which isn’t true, it has been documented in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 3,000 years and has been proven to be used all around the world. Also, check out this small study done by a small group of midwives after childbirth: The 4th Trimester Study here.

The vagus nerve, found throughout the body, has neurotransmitters that go into the cervix and walls of the uterus. When these neurotransmitters are targeted by vaginal steaming, the vagus nerve releases oxytocin, the love hormone. This is especially necessary for postpartum moms to not only heal physically but to also keep at bay postpartum depression. The result is a feeling of total body relaxation.
​
Vaginal steaming should be used as the first level of self-care before getting to the point of needing surgery. Trust yourself to heal YOU and empower yourself to find the solution at home.
Vaginal steaming sessions will consist of energetic healing in addition to physical healing. Every disease is a physical manifestation of an energetic blockage. When it comes to our wombs and sexual organs, our sacral chakra is affected by trauma, lack of creativity and feelings of disempowerment. The return of Vaginal steaming signals that this is the time for women everywhere to heal traumas, heal any feelings of self doubt or lack and RE-member that you are whole.
