Let’s be honest. Between our menstruation, sex, pregnancy and giving birth, our vagina’s withstand a lot.
Not to mention pelvic floor issues and changing hormones, the vagina can be a place of fun and beauty but also a place that can get really uncomfortable.
Vaginal steaming, otherwise known as yoni steaming is an ancient practice that helps to cleanse and balance both the vagina and the uterus.
Not only that but it is also known for its benefits of regulating periods and easing cramps.
Yoni steaming has a vast history in multiple cultures such as the Asian, African and Caribbean culture and stems from a beautiful feminine practice that helps recenter the body.
Yoni steaming is really simple and can be done in the comfort of your own home.It involves sitting over a steaming pot of water that often contains added herbs. Possible herbs may include basil, mugwort, rosemary, and wormwood.
But there are additional herbs you can use to make the experience even more luxe!
