YONI STEAMS 🌿💦

Yoni steaming (also known as vaginal steaming or V-steaming) is a traditional practice where a woman sits or squats over a steaming pot of water infused with herbs. Professionally administered yoni steams — typically offered at spas or by trained practitioners — aim to provide physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits.

Here’s a breakdown of the potential benefits of professional yoni steams, categorized for clarity:

⸻

🌿 Physical Benefits (Anecdotal & Traditional Use)

Note: These benefits are largely based on traditional medicine (e.g., Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine) and anecdotal reports. Clinical evidence is limited.

1. Menstrual Cycle Support
• May help regulate irregular periods
• Reduces menstrual cramps and bloating
• Promotes a more complete menstrual flow
2. Postpartum Healing
• Traditionally used to support healing after childbirth
• May help tone the uterus and reduce swelling
• May assist in tissue repair and cleansing
3. Vaginal Health
• Reported to help with symptoms of yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis (though evidence is anecdotal)
• May support vaginal lubrication and elasticity
• Helps reduce odor and excess discharge
4. Detoxification
• Claims to support detox of the reproductive organs (uterus, cervix, vaginal canal) via increased circulation and sweating
5. Pelvic Floor Health
• Warmth and herbal steam may relax pelvic muscles and tissues
• Some report relief from minor prolapse symptoms

⸻

🧘‍♀️ Emotional & Energetic Benefits

Especially emphasized in professional and ceremonial settings:
1. Stress Relief
• Relaxing and meditative experience
• Often combined with aromatherapy, sound healing, or massage
2. Connection to Feminine Energy
• Some find it spiritually grounding and empowering
• Used in womb-healing rituals or moon cycle ceremonies
3. Emotional Release
• May support emotional processing tied to trauma, heartbreak, or shame related to the womb space
4. Improved Sexual Wellness
• Increased body awareness
• Reported improvement in libido and sensation

⸻

🛁 Benefits of a Professional Setting

Working with a trained practitioner or spa can offer distinct advantages:
1. Personalized Herbal Blends
• Herbs chosen based on your needs (e.g., cleansing, toning, moistening, cooling)
2. Safe Practices
• Proper temperature regulation to prevent burns
• Hygienic setup and comfortable seating
3. Holistic Assessment
• Many practitioners assess your cycle, constitution (e.g., in TCM or Ayurveda), and lifestyle before treatment
4. Complementary Modalities
• Many sessions include massage, reiki, or guided meditation

⸻

⚠️ Cautions

Even professionally administered yoni steams aren’t for everyone. You should avoid yoni steaming if you:
• Are pregnant or think you might be
• Are menstruating or have active bleeding
• Have open wounds or sores
• Have an active vaginal infection
• Are prone to UTIs or have very sensitive skin

Always consult with a qualified healthcare provider — especially if you’re managing conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, or post-surgery recovery.

Product Spotlight: elderberry syrup 🍇

This is one of my favorite products. It reminds me of home. Or even better, an Appalachian kitchen, in height of autumn! 🍂

Immunity boost meets Appalachian herbal kitchen! Elderberry syrup tastes great and keeps you well. This is a make to order product. Once your order is placed a fresh batch will be made. This is to maintain freshness as this product must be refrigerated.

Just so happens I’ll be making a batch this weekend! Who wants some?! 🙌🏽
