A yoni steam works by applying gentle heat, as well as moisture that carries essential herb oils to the exterior tissues of the vagina and perineum area. The warmth and moisture increases circulation to the labia, causing it to swell and expose the inner labial mucas membranes.
This ancient practice has been used around the world by different cultures to help naturally treat many genital, menstrual and reproductive issues. This all natural and nourishing Yoni Steam is a blend of herbs to help tone, cleanse and soothe the vagina and for general healing. Particularly useful for soothing itchy, inflamed, irritable, and sore genitals, and have been chosen for their efficacy with yeast and bacterial infections.

Step by step instructions
Yoni steaming, also known as vaginal steaming, is an ancient practice where a woman allows the warmth of herbal steam to permeate the exterior and interior of her vagina. It’s a very calming and grounding experience but also very detoxing for the womb and yoni.
Generations of women have shared this knowledge among one another, inspiring each other to connect with sensuality, love and the desire to heal our bodies.
A yoni steam once a month may help to:
Regulate period or reduce pain or bloating from menstruation
Detoxify (like a sauna for your yoni)
Maintain a healthy balance of vaginal flora
Relieve chronic yeast infections or BV
Speed up healing post birth (vaginal and C-section scarring) – 6 weeks post birth
Reduce fibroids, ovarian cysts, prolapse and endometriosis
Ease symptoms of menopause (including dryness)
Emotionally help to release past traumas and blockages
Step 2: Steep the herbs for 5 mins while it remains on the stove. This is important that you keep it on the stove top so the herbs oils and aromas are activated and released into the water. Do not add extra essential oils as it will be too strong for our sensitive vulva.
Step 3: While it’s steeping I go to the loo (release bladder) and also take a quick warm shower so you feel clean. Also make sure you're warm with slippers or socks on and a warm robe.
Step 4: Set up your space. Pour the 4 cups of hot water into Pyrex or heat-safe kitchen bowl and wave hands over it to make sure it’s not too hot. Remember it should never hurt or burn – it should feel like a warming sensation over the vulva, perineum and anus. Remove undies and sit over the bowl of steaming herbs for 10 minutes with a towel, sheet or maxi skirt over the top of your lap to trap the heat and not let any steam escape. Mediate, sing, read, do anything that feels good (except for be on your phone).
Step 5: Once it cools down pour the water into the garden or down the toilet, and then pour the next 4 cups of hot water and herbs into the bowl and squat over it for 10 more minutes. Reheat if you need to if it’s cooled too much.
Step 6: Enjoy the calming, warming delicious effect of heating up your Yoni. Allowing it to swell, engorge and receive a facial-like steam, helping to release old stagnant blood from the uterus and any other energetic or physical blockages that want to be shed (cysts, fibroids, endo cramps etc).
