Vaginal steaming is an ancient practice believed to be beneficial for cleansing the vagina and uterus, regulating the menstrual cycle, relieving PMS and bloating, and helping the uterus to contract after childbirth. Many women claim to have gotten rid of prolapse after childbirth. The practice can also be very meditative.
Yoni steam involves sitting over a steaming pot of herbs in water, usually for about 10-30 minutes per session, depending on your body constitution and menstrual cycle history. If you are a beginner, start with 10 minutes. As the steam rises and the herbs penetrate the vaginal tissue, it is believed that the vagina and uterus are cleansed and soothed.
7 reasons to do yoni steaming:
1. Promote a balanced and optimal menstrual cycle
A balanced cycle is able to occur when the uterus is well rested and nourished and the uterus experiences a regular, consistent and complete monthly cleansing. Yoni steaming on specific days of the menstrual cycle can help release stagnation and provide strength and nourishment. This is why it is believed that yoni steaming supports cycle rebalancing and the return of a healthy and consistent period.
- Keeps balanced cycles healthy.
- Shortens long cycles and brings back missed periods.
- Counteracts uterine fatigue and prolongs short cycles.
2. Pain-free periods
When it comes to releasing stagnation, the uterus has one go-to tool: cramps.
This is the genius of the body, but cramps blow. Cramps can be excruciating and debilitating, making us dread entire weeks of our lives, missing work and special occasions.
When we view cramps as our body behaving badly, we tend to manage the symptoms. Usually, that means taking painkillers. When we view cramps as the uterus doing its job, we can see that we can perhaps help her with nurturing and care rather than frustration and suppression.
Our culture tends to focus on managing symptoms, but yoni steaming likes to get to the root.
Stagnant blood is the main cause of cramps and lower back pain. The uterus contracts to release this stagnation. When we support the removal of stagnation, which is done through yoni steam, there is simply no reason for the uterus to cramp.
No stagnation = no cramps
Brown blood before and after menstruation indicates stagnation. Brown blood is common, but not normal or optimal. Yoni steaming can clear this stagnation and provide a regular bleeding of 3-4 days of fresh red blood.
3. Increased fertility
Optimal fertility is best achieved through a healthy menstrual cycle, including monthly ovulation and regular, healthy periods. Steaming supports a balanced and healthy cycle.
Yoni steam is also used to cleanse and prepare the uterus for insemination, IVF
In these cases, steaming is only safe before, never after, insemination or completion.
4. Menopause and menopause
Yoni steaming adds moisture to the body, helping to relieve dryness.
Cooling herbs are used to release excess heat from the body.
Yoni steaming is a practice that enables ongoing connection to our womb space, life cycles, Mother Earth, and the moon. Our culture often devalues the womb space after our reproductive years end. With a yoni steam practice, you can reclaim the life force in the womb that always guides you into our creations.
5. Sexual energy
Yoni steam can increase libido and can be used to awaken sexual energy
6. Postpartum care
Yoni steaming after childbirth has a robust and global history. New mothers around the world are revitalizing the practice
7. Holistic health
Beyond the many physical benefits of yoni steam are the emotional and spiritual healing. Yoni steam can be a powerful and potent practice because after various life experiences, including trauma, it provides the opportunity to return to a sense of home in our bodies.
However, you should not steam if:
- you are pregnant
- menstruating
- when you are trying to get pregnant (during and after ovulation)
- has spontaneous bleeding, and 2 menstrual periods within 1 month
Safety first, so check the temperature, it should be gentle and soothing.
If the heat is uncomfortable, even in the slightest, get up!
Always, respect your body, prioritize your comfort, and let your intuition take charge.
