What is Yoni steaming?

 Yoni steaming is an ancient practice that has origins all over the world. The word "Yoni" is a sanskrit word used to describe not only the vagina, but the entire womb space. It means "Sacred Space".  Before the Western World introduced gynecology to the rest of the world, women were healing themselves with various types of yoni steaming practices and herbs.  Some cultures use yoni steaming as a daily ritual. Some cultures use it after women give birth. Some cultures use it to prevent and heal ailments of the reproductive system. Although it’s taken its sweet time to reach the Western hemisphere, it is finally here, and doesn't seem to be going anywhere, anytime soon. 

These days, yoni steaming is a practice used by Western women to help heal their reproductive woes, before considering more drastic measures- or to support healing from more invasive procedures. Yoni steamers have reported prevented hysterectomies and success getting pregnant.  

So how does yoni steaming actually work?

Steaming works by creating circulation in the pelvis. It introduces gentle heat to the pelvic region, by sitting over the steaming herbs. The herbs release their healing oils, which then get absorbed by the mucus membranes in the vulva, vagina and rectum. After the medicinal steam and oils are absorbed, they are released into the blood stream, where their healing properties help support the organs. 

The circulation created by steaming, supports the uterus to have more efficient cleanses every month, during the menstrual cycle. Steaming encourages debris to be released from the uterine wall. This is why this practice is very helpful to those with fibroid, cysts, polyps and other growths in the uterus. Women who steam regularly report lighter, shorter periods, with minimal, to no cramping . A regular steaming regimen also helps aid in the relief of  fibroids, cysts, polyps, heavy periods, painful periods, PCOS, endometriosis, yeast infections, BV and so much more!
