Yoni steaming is a holistic practice used for centuries by our ancestors to help with feminine health of the body, mind & spirit. Yoni steams cleanses, rejuvenates, restores, revitalizes, and strengthens the womb and body. Yoni steams can also be meditative, relaxing and centering.
Yoni Steaming works by using gentle steam to carry dried organic herbs to the exterior tissues of the yoni (the tissue referred to as the vulva). The warmth and moisture increases circulation to the vulva, causing it to open up and expose the inner labial mucous membranes. These tissues are very porous and absorbent, allowing the herbs to infuse their benefits. The result is a healthier, more relaxed and balanced connection to yourself.

How to Yoni Steam:
Start by boiling 6 cups of distilled or spring water. Once the water has reached a boil, reduce heat to low, add one muslin bag filled with herbs and steep for 15 minutes. (If you prefer, you can open the muslin bag and pour the loose herbs directly into the boiling water, the muslin bag is included for easy clean up.)
While the herbs are steeping, place your sitz bath or metal bowl into the toilet seat bowl.
Once the herbs are done steeping, wave your hand over the steam, and when it reaches a comfortable temperature, pour the herbal concoction into the sitz bath or metal bowl. Undress from the waist down, sit down and wrap a towel around your waist to keep the steam in the desired area and proceed to steam for approximately 20 minutes.
