What is Yoni Steaming
A vaginal steam (often referred to as a V-Steam or Yoni Steam) is an effective and relaxing way to promote reproductive health. The V-Steams are ph balanced to help the body naturally cleanse the vaginal and uterine linings in a safe and gentle way. The warm steam and natural essential oils from the plants nourish and tonify the vaginal and uterine tissues. While improving circulation, the steams alleviate symptoms caused by, or related to, congestion in these tissues.
V-Steams can be a perfect way to show yourself some self-care and can have beneficial effects. However, if you are trying to enhance fertility, improve sexual health, balance hormones, or regulate your menstrual cycle, we would recommend visiting a member of our acupuncture team as they will be able to create a tailored treatment plan geared towards your specific health goals.
HERBS AND PLANTS
Dry or fresh plants are suggested. Also, if possible, use organic plants. Many plants you find on your spice rack are perfect. Most used are
Basil (move fluids)
Rosemary (anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-microbial)
Oregano (antiseptic, antispasmodic, expectorant)
Calendula (anti-inflammatory)
Motherwort (tonifies, cramping, infections)
Mugwort (all purpose)
Marigolds (anti-inflammatory)
How to Steam?
Yoni Steaming:
- In a medium covered pot, pour 4 cups of water.
- Bring water to a soft boil for 5 minutes.
- Place 2 tablespoons or herbs. Do not add or use “essential oils” as they are too strong and may burn sensitive genital tissue.
- Turn of the heat, leave the lid on and steep for another 5 minutes with the lid on.
- It is very important to test the temperature of the steam before using. If it is too hot wait 15 seconds and test it again until it feels comfortably warm to steam with.
- Pour water into the bowl you have placed in your toilet.
- Wave your hand 8-10 inches over the herbal water to make sure it is not too hot.
- Remove your underwear and sit on the seat above the steaming water.
- Drape a large blanket or sheet around your waist down to the floor making sure no steam escapes.
- Make sure you keep yourself warm, keeping something on your feet (socks, slippers) and neck. You do not want any cold to get into your body while you are trying to warm it.
- You should feel a warm, rolling heat for about 15 to 20 minutes.
- When the steam dies down dump the water into the toilet. Starting with step #4 begin the second dosage. If it has cooled too much reheat but test again before sitting over the steam
Please note this can temporarily increase menstrual flow with more dark fluids or debris. Menses may start earlier than usual due to the cleansing effect.
