What is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda uses the lens of the whole self, mind - body - spirit. Therefor when chronic illness takes hold - a three pronged approach is necessary to heal. Often illness is undigested stress or general imbalances of the mind. To come home to the body we want a graceful relationship between mind - body - spirit. Lifestyle, self-care practices, food, drinks, movement and meditation are antidotes for imbalances.
Yoni Steaming Questions
What is Yoni Steaming?
Vaginal steaming, more accurately called pelvic steaming, is an ancient ritual in many cultures worldwide.
You sit over a bowl of steaming water or use a seat/sauna box sauna. Specific menstrual imbalances call for carefully selected herbs to address the root problem.
The steam will gently rise into the pelvic area, allowing the therapeutic benefits to take effect.
Why Yoni Steam?
In the order of all things going well, for those women of menstruating age, the ideal period is fresh red blood, with no clotting or pain for four days. In our personal and professional experience, we have not met a woman who has fallen naturally into the healthy cycle. Due to lifestyle choices, stress, and emotional trauma, our menstruation cycles tend to show us what is not working for us. The language of bleeding is not generally taught in schools or to young women, and most modern-day society does not teach women how to bleed and, most importantly, to rest in our time of bleeding. Even in times of old, women and men still used this ancient ritual to assist with birthing, clear infections from the womb or scrotum, and aid with sexual pleasure.
Yoni steaming not only connects us with a pause and the warmth of the steam but also helps clear stagnation (when applicable), clear pain, and bring awareness to the cyclical rhythm of our bodies.
Our user guide is available to download from our website to answer more Yoni Steaming questions. Or, you can contact us for an online consultation.
How do I choose the right Yoni Steam Herbs?
We have formulated our Yoni Steams using the ancient Science of Ayurveda. Choose your blend based on your Mind-Body Type (Dosha). We recommend using this quiz online, What's Your Ayurvedic Mind-Body Type?
Alternatively, choose your Yoni Steam blend based on the physical symptoms listed on each of the Yoni Steam product pages.
How long do I Yoni Steam for?
The duration of time depends on your heat sensitivities and the length of your cycle. If you run hot, cycle is less than 28 days or are a first-time user, no longer than 10 minutes. If none of the above applies to you, 20 - 30 minutes is a good steam session.
Can I reuse my Yoni Steaming herbs?
The short answer is yes. It’s similar to your herbal teas; some people reuse tea herbs for another one or two cups. Once brewed strain herbs from your pot, put in the fridge and use again within the next 1 - 3 days. Do not steam (sit over herbs) and then reuse them. Another option is to make a herb pouch with your herbs in a muslin, simmer the herbs, remove and store herb pouch in the fridge and re-use. All our herb blends contain organic Nettle Leaf, a high protein content that can quickly go mouldy.
