Curious about yoni steaming? You’ve come to the right place. This guide from The Hearts Mystery covers everything you need to know about this ancient wellness practice.
What is Yoni Steaming?
Yoni steaming, also known as vaginal steaming, involves using warm steam to enhance circulation and clear congestion in the reproductive organs and surrounding areas. This practice has been used for centuries across various cultures and is gaining renewed interest for its potential health benefits.
How does Yoni Steaming work?
Steam, or vaporized water, can penetrate hard-to-reach areas. Just as we use steam for facial cleansing and sinus relief, yoni steaming uses this natural element to improve circulation and cleanse the pelvic area. Incorporating herbs into the steam can introduce therapeutic properties to the tissues.
"Honoring the yoni is honoring the temple of the sacred feminine within."
Does the vagina need to be cleaned?
While the uterus is self-cleaning, much like the colon, it can benefit from support when experiencing issues like painful periods, heavy bleeding, or infertility. Yoni steaming is a wellness practice that can support reproductive health, especially if you are dealing with symptoms that indicate your menstrual cycle is not functioning optimally.
Is Yoni Steaming a new trend?
Yoni steaming is far from a new trend. It has been practiced for centuries in cultures around the world. For an in-depth look at its historical use, check out the interactive map by Peristeam Hydrotherapist Keli Garza.
Is Yoni Steaming safe?
Safety is paramount when yoni steaming. The main risk is scalding from hot steam, so always test the temperature with your hand before steaming. Use clean water and ensure your steam seat is stable and can support your weight. Concerns about disrupting vaginal bacteria are similar to those about steaming other body parts; with proper hygiene, steaming should not cause infections.
