What is Vaginal Steaming?
Vaginal steaming, yoni steaming, womb steaming, or “v-steaming” for short, is a time-honored self-care practice that has been passed down through generations of women in various cultures all over the world, for thousands of years. It is a calming, rejuvenating, and meditative practice that fosters a deeper, more aware relationship between a woman and the most intimate, sensitive, life-giving parts of her body.
Through this work we can address menstrual symptoms and irregularities, postpartum symptoms, birth trauma, pelvic pain, painful sex, urinary leakage, urgency or incontinence, fertility, pregnancy loss, sexual, physical, or emotional abuse history, low libido and sexual health.
The process involves sitting or squatting over a pot of steaming water (for either 10 to 30 minutes at home), infused with healing herbs. The steam brings warmth and encourages relaxation, blood flood, while also carrying the physical and spiritual properties of the herbs.
Each herbal blend is customized to the individual, based on her health history and constitution, in order to receive the appropriate healing properties.
What is vaginal steaming used for?
Vaginal steaming is used to treat gynecological problems. Cramps, trouble conceiving, infections, fibroids, cysts, dryness...vaginal steaming helps to naturally address the root cause of the problem.
Most commonly, vaginal steaming is used by midwives for postpartum care right after a woman has a baby.
Vaginal steaming is also used as a hygienic post-period practice to get any left-over blood out of the vaginal tract once the period is over in order to improve symptoms and improve energy flow/chi.
From the first period to post-menopause, it is an important tool for self-care.
Does it really work?
According to various case studies, vaginal steaming appears to improve symptoms in over 90% of all gynecological problems and shows tremendous potential as an alternative to invasive medical procedures.
There's clear reason why women everywhere have used it for thousands of years. There's nothing that compares to it.
