What is Yoni Steaming
The word Yoni, borrowed from the language of Sanskrit, means “sacred garden” and refers to the vagina, vulva, cervix, ovaries and uterus.
What is Yoni Steaming?
Yoni steaming (also known as vaginal steaming or pelvic steaming) is a gentle yet powerful practice where warm, often herb-infused steam is used to nourish, cleanse, and awaken the womb and pelvic organs.
This sacred self-care ritual can support menstrual health, vaginal and sexual health, balance hormones, and work with emotional imprints stored in the womb and vulva.
The warmth from the steam increases blood flow to the pelvic region, helping to bring oxygen and nutrients to the reproductive organs while encouraging the body’s natural detoxification processes.
My personal favourite benefit of steaming is how it helps release stagnant or old menstrual blood (which can contribute to cramps), and invites deeper connection to your body and womb space.
Steaming can help with a variety of vulvar, vaginal, and uterine conditions. See below for more details.
