The Power of Yoni Steaming: An Ancient Practice for Modern Healing

Yoni steaming, also known as vaginal steaming, is an ancient practice that has been used by women around the world for centuries. This holistic healing technique involves sitting over a pot of warm, herb-infused steam to cleanse, nourish, and support the womb and reproductive system.

Rooted in various traditional healing systems, yoni steaming offers a range of physical, emotional, and energetic benefits, making it a powerful tool for women’s health and well-being.



The Ancient History of Yoni Steaming

Yoni steaming has deep roots in many ancient cultures, including African, Asian, Indigenous, and Central American traditions. Women across different civilizations have used steaming as a sacred ritual for postpartum healing, menstrual regulation, and overall reproductive health.


Africa:

Many African tribes incorporated yoni steaming into their postpartum care practices, using medicinal herbs to aid recovery and restore balance.


Asia:

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has long recognized the benefits of steaming with specific herbs to support womb health and clear stagnation.


Central and South America:

Mayan and Aztec healers have used steaming as a vital part of womb care, often combined with abdominal massage to release stored trauma and energy.


Indigenous Cultures:

Many Native American and Indigenous communities have employed steam rituals to honor femininity, fertility, and spiritual cleansing.


The Benefits of Yoni Steaming

Yoni steaming offers numerous benefits that extend beyond physical health to include emotional and energetic healing.

Some of the most notable benefits include:


Physical Benefits:

Regulates Menstrual Cycles – Helps reduce irregular periods, heavy bleeding, and painful cramps.

Supports Fertility – Clears stagnation in the reproductive system and increases circulation to the womb.

Eases Postpartum Recovery – Speeds up healing after childbirth by promoting tissue repair and reducing discomfort.

Balances Vaginal pH & Discharge – Helps cleanse and support a healthy microbiome.

Relieves Menopausal Symptoms – Can help with dryness, discomfort, and hormonal imbalances.


Emotional & Energetic Benefits:

Enhances Sensuality & Self-Connection – Encourages a deeper connection to feminine energy and self-love.

Balances the Sacral Chakra – The steam carries healing energy into the womb, promoting creativity, passion, and empowerment.


Different Yoni Steaming Techniques

Yoni steaming can be customized to fit individual needs based on specific concerns, body conditions, and desired outcomes.

 Here are some different methods:


Traditional Pot & Chair Method

A heat-safe bowl or pot filled with warm, herb-infused water is placed under a steaming seat, allowing the steam to rise and nourish the womb.


Herbal Blends for Specific Needs

Cleansing & Detoxifying: Mugwort, rosemary, and basil help clear infections and stagnation.


Fertility & Hormonal Balance: Red raspberry leaf, dong quai, and damiana enhance circulation and hormonal regulation.


Postpartum Recovery: Calendula, lavender, and comfrey aid in tissue repair and relaxation.


Emotional Release: Rose petals, chamomile, and yarrow encourage deep emotional healing.


Handmade Yoni Steam Stools

Some women prefer custom-made yoni steam stools that allow them to sit comfortably while receiving the healing benefits of steam.


Towel & Bowl Method

If a stool is not available, a simple setup with a bowl and a towel draped around the lower body can be used for at-home steaming.


How to Safely Practice Yoni Steaming

To ensure the best experience, follow these safety guidelines:


Check the temperature – The steam should be warm, not too hot, to prevent burns.


Avoid steaming during menstruation – Steaming during active bleeding may cause excessive blood flow.


Limit steaming sessions – 20-30 minutes is ideal, 1-3 times a month, depending on personal needs.


Consult your doctor – If you have infections, an IUD, or specific health concerns, seek professional advice before steaming.

Let's talk fertility.. Fertility... That can be a pretty touchy subject for some women, including myself but we are not alone! Studies have shown that in Canada 1 in 6 couples suffer from some form of fertility issues. With all the "junk" that is added into our foods and sprayed on to our fruits and vegetables its scary to hear that it "messes" with our hormones which can led to infertility! I, myself have struggled with fertility issues since my very early 20's. 13 years of fertility issues definitely gets to you. For years I thought "okay maybe its not meant to happen" which sadden me because I've always wanted a child or children. My diet is not the best, I wont lie. I enjoy my chips and sweetest which have been causing more cyst on my ovaries. For years my diet was absolutely HORRIBLE but I've been getting better. Let me take you back to the beginning of this year... At the beginning of March (2020) I was noticing that I was getting a lot of nausea so I was living off of ginger gravol for a few nights. It was really strange. I thought about taking a pregnancy test but I have seen so many negative tests in the past that I wasn't ready to see another. A few more days went by and now I was waking up in the middle of the night feeling "not so hot". That Sunday morning I decided it was time to take the test... I was prepping myself for another negative test result. Two minutes pass I looked at the test "positive 4-5 weeks" AHH WHAT!?!? OMG I've been waiting so long to get this result!! Being a Reiki practitioner you get very familiar with energy and I could just feel that it was a little girl. I was so excited. Unfortunately 5 days later I had a miscarriage. The OBGYN told me I was about 5 weeks and the baby was still just cells forming. No heart beat cause it was much to early. It was hard news to receive but knowing there was no heart beat made it a little easier. I didn't want to look at this as a negative experience. Even though it was so hard to put a positive spin on it but I figured out how. " Thank you Universe for showing me that I can get pregnant. Thank you for the ability to feel what "morning" sickness feels like. Now what must I do to carry my next baby to full term?". DIET was one message I received loud and clear and also more Reiki for myself and more internal healing. So let me tell you the spiritual steps I took to becoming more fertile . 1. I started receiving Reiki from a close friend. ( Reiki is so incredible for moving energy around. Removing old energy from the body and replacing it with new energy.) Reiki flushes the ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus of old built up energy that is not serving you any greater good. The new energy circulates clock wise to repair and heal. 2. I started using crystals that help with fertility (I will list all the crystals below and what they are used for). I lay in bed with the crystals on my stomach for at least 20 minutes, while listening to fertility frequency binaural beats (you can find these on YouTube). I also set up a crystal grid under my bed with fertility crystals. While I'm not at home I will put my crystals in my pocket and carry them without throughout the day. Fertility Crystals: Carnelian - Have a healing influence on the female reproductive organs. Unakite - During childbirth keeps you calm and centered in your heart. Rodonit - Stimulates fertility and can help heal both physical and emotional wounds. Moonstone - Good for regulating menstrual and fertility cycles. It is used for protection, luck, selflessness, hope and clarity. Rose Quartz - Universal love. Also helps in regulating hormones and aids fertility. Amethyst - Celestial wisdom, clears spiritual toxins, absorbs negative energy. Smokey Quartz - Disperses fear, lifts depression and negativity. It brings emotional calmness, relieving stress and anxiety. Bloodstone - promotes healing and strength, revitalizing the body and mind when they are exhausted. It’s believed to prevent miscarriage and is used during childbirth to ease labor pain. 3. MOON WATER ! If you have not heard about moon water, this stuff is amazing! Its sooo easy to make. What you'll need: - Glass bottle - Water (try to avoid bottled water) - Full Moon How to make moon water: On the night of the full moon place your sealed glass bottle of water outside in direct moon light. If its raining I keep mine in the house and just place my bottle on the window ledge. MAKE SURE to remove the water before sunrise. I also take advantage of the full moon to re-charge all my fertility crystals. That's it :) you have moon water! I try to drink it that day. ** I have a "special" glass water bottle that I bought from the holistic fair here in Sudbury. See picture below.
