How To Yoni Steam At Home + (Benefits Of Sitting On Hot Water)

You are probably wondering why will people sit over hot water and what benefits can there be to steaming your vagina. Sounds a bit crazy right? But once you start, you’ll want to include this as part of your self-care regimen. This article will share with you how to yoni steam at home plus the benefits.

Yoni steaming is used as a natural remedy for cleaning the vagina, uterus, and entire reproductive tract. The word ‘yoni’ is a Sanskrit word that generally means the female area and womb. In Hinduism and Buddhism, yoni represents the source, life, and creativity. 

Women possess so much power and resilience to make what they want out of life. That is why some want to take care of the source of this power and the popularity of v steam keeps growing day by day. As a matter of fact, it can cost up to $500 to get yoni steam at a spa which is why some people prefer DIY yoni steam.

Doing this periodically with the right yoni steaming herbs is very beneficial whether you believe in holistic practices or just because you want to keep your area clean and healthy.

The Benefits Of Sitting On Hot Water

Having a v steam or yoni steam is a holistic healing process that is highly beneficial for mature women. The popularity of this means many things, one meaning it works.

Though it can be expensive doing this at a spa, for convenience of privacy, time, comfort and for cost, you can get a yoni steam kit for less than $50 as opposed to paying hundreds of dollars at a spa. 

Without further ado, let’s get into the goodies of doing this.

1. It May Improve Menstrual Cycle

This is exactly why I got into this in the first place and I cannot tell you how much it has helped me because of its ability to significantly reduce pain, bloating and exhaustion associated with menstruation, as well as to regulate irregular or absent menstrual cycles.

2. It May Heal The Womb

For undiscovered reasons, many women suffer from conditions such as uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts and PCOS (that leads to the absence of period as well).

In the same way that yoni steaming supports the uterus to shed old blood, it can help the organ to discharge any damaging tissue or cells, including polyps, cysts or endometrium growing outside the uterus. 

3. A Self Care Routine

To do yoni steam, you have to set aside 30- 45 minutes to focus on this process that leads to great overall well-being and go inward.

As you sit and let the gentle herbs saturate your body and get rid of toxins you will experience deep bliss and feeling of relaxation.

I like to use this time to meditate or practice some breathing exercises just to get the most out of my v-steam.

4. Deep Connection To Your Source Of Power

Yoni steaming is an opportunity to connect deeply with your source of power and creativity, the ultimate feminine energy we all carry. 

Using yoni steaming as the entry point, many women have learned to channel the potent energy of their wombs to unlock the creative potential that serves their true self and life purpose.

5. Improves Fertility

There may be many reasons for fertility difficulties, but a hardened uterine wall is a common reason for a successful pregnancy. 

Yoni steaming can break up this excess gunk lining your uterine wall and realizing it through menstruation. This allows a fertilized egg to latch on better.

What You Can Expect After A Yoni Steam?

Some women may experience vaginal discharge after yoni steam but this is all part of the cleansing process. Soon after, you might feel extremely relaxed, emotional, or tired but these are all okay.

In the days following, women can experience changes in their menstrual cycle, lighter period, the release of dark blood and clots. 

However, yoni steam can have side effects so you must avoid doing a v steam if you are pregnant, have UID or have vaginal infections, or open wounds.
