Vaginal Herbal Steaming - shortened to V-steaming, (and often known as yoni steaming), is a complementary women’s health modality whereby a woman sits on a “throne” of steam containing medicinal herbs.
We’ve all heard that the uterus is self-cleansing, this occurs with each monthly bleed time. However, just like any other organ of the body, at times, it doesn’t always optimally perform its functions.
Yoni is the Sanskrit word for vagina, womb and goddess.
Yoni steaming, also known as vaginal steaming, is a holistic health practice whereby a woman experiences the warmth of herbal steam gently permeating the exterior of her vagina.
This gentle yet powerful ancient remedy has been used by women worldwide for thousands of years.
Mayan healers and midwives used yoni steams or bajos to provide effective support for the female reproductive system, helping to improve fertility, ease the symptoms of PMS and balance hormones in the peri menopausal phase.
Yoni steaming is in no way about cleansing in the hygiene sense of the word, your vagina does this perfectly and naturally without the need of douches or detergents.
When we refer to the cleansing actions of yoni steaming, We are referring to the energetical cleansing and the herbal actions on the body tissues.
The combination of heat and herbs is incredibly healing for the whole of your reproductive area, and can be used to treat a range of physical symptoms, including menstrual pain and irregular periods, fibroids, yeast infections, fertility issues, post natal healing and scarring, and menopausal symptoms.
In addition to this, yoni steaming is an excellent and effective way of releasing emotional blocks and trauma.
The Treatment
Following a full holistic health and well-being consultation, a range of specially selected herbs will be chosen to create your bespoke herbal blend.
These are infused in large bowl of steaming water and allowed time to ‘brew’. During this time I support you to sit in reflective relaxation, practicing breath-work and benefiting from the inhalation of the herbal infusion.
Draped in sarongs and blankets you are invited to lower yourself over the rising steam and relax for a while.
I will hold space for you to completely immerse yourself in the experience, facilitating your comfort as required.
When you have enjoyed your steam, you will be invited to replenish with a herbal tea whilst your feet are massaged with bespoke essential oil blends.
