What is Yoni Steaming and why should I be doing it?

by Shelley Oak

What is a Yoni Steaming/Vaginal steaming/Steam sauna?

It is an ancient practice used for centuries for physical, emotional, spiritual healing.

You brew healing herbs and petals like Calendula, Lavender, Rosemary, Yarrow, Oregano, Motherwort, Rose Petals etc... in a pot and let steep.

You then place the pot inside the box (make sure it's not too hot), and sit for about 25 minutes and allow the steam to rise up and cleanse your Yoni. Create a lovely space to unwind and relax into the practice. Light a candle or incense, use some essential oils, play your favourite music or podcast and relax.
