Yoni steaming is an age-old practice carried down through generations of women. It’s a natural, holistic way to refresh and heal the female reproductive system. This gentle and non-invasive method involves sitting or squatting over a bowl of steaming water mixed with medicinal herbs.
Benefits of Yoni Steaming include menstrual support, detoxification, fertility enhancement, postpartum healing, and emotional release.
Choosing the right herbs is crucial, as each herb has unique properties that can address specific concerns. Popular herbs for yoni steaming include calendula, lavender, rose petals, mugwort, and yarrow. Ensure you use high-quality, organic herbs to maximize benefits and avoid any contaminants.
To perform a yoni steam at home, prepare your herbal mix by combining about one cup of dried herbs. Add them to a large pot of boiling water and let them steep for 10-15 minutes. Find a comfortable, quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Put a heat-resistant bowl or pot filled with the herbal infusion on the floor, making sure the steam isn’t too hot. Undress from the waist down and wrap a large towel or blanket around your waist to trap the steam. Carefully squat or sit over the steaming bowl, making sure the steam reaches your perineal area. Relax and enjoy the yoni steam for 20-30 minutes.
