Yoni Steam Blend

Yoni steaming is an ancient practice believed to support vaginal and uterine cleansing, regulate the menstrual cycle, relieve period cramps and bloating, and promote healing and relaxation after childbirth. Many also find the practice deeply meditative.

The process involves sitting over a pot of steaming, herb-infused water for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on your body's constitution and menstrual history. As the steam rises, the herbal properties are absorbed through the vaginal tissue, providing warmth and soothing benefits.

It’s very important that you take precautions to ensure your health and safety whenever you yoni steam. Here are a few important steps to take to avoid any potential Yoni steam side effects and risks:

• If the steam is too hot, you could burn the sensitive vaginal tissues. Make sure when you sit/squat above the steam, you feel comfortable with the temperature of the steam and are not simply “bearing the heat”.

• Do not steam longer than 30 minutes. We recommend that you talk with a Yoni steam practitioner about the length of steam time that is best for you.

• Make sure your pot and any other equipment you use are thoroughly cleaned before use, in order to avoid unnecessary irritation and infections, such as yeast infections.

• Yoni steaming is not recommended during your period or during pregnancy.

There are a few potential side effects of yoni steaming to be aware of before you try it. For example, some people experience cervical fluid or discharge after yoni steam. Some discharge is absolutely normal and nothing to be concerned about. The yoni steam is simply allowing the vagina to release dead cells and bacteria.

Cervical fluid discharge after yoni steam:

• Should have a color somewhere between clear, milky white, yellow, and brown.

• Should have an odor that would not be considered strong.

• Can vary in intensity based on your menstrual cycle, hydration level, and stress level.

If you experience any sort of rash, pain, or itching, then you could have an infection and would want to consult a medical professional immediately.

While yoni steaming is a fantastic and natural option that has been used in many cultures to promote health, it’s important to consider your own individual needs and concerns before diving into the process. Many people will have their own preferences and considerations in terms of ingredients and frequency. So, you may be wondering, “how often should you yoni steam”?

The answer will be different for everyone. A steaming schedule should be based on your menstrual cycle history and your body’s constitution. Personalized information about how often you should steam can be attained by consulting a local Peri-Steam hydrotherapist. However, if your goal is to increase fertility, especially during pre-ovulation, getting on a steam schedule could support your fertility journey greatly!

Additionally, people who suffer with severe period symptoms such as bloating, discomfort, or painful cramps will likely benefit from steaming two or three times in the week leading up to their period. Ultimately, the frequency at which you choose to yoni steam depends on your personal needs, comfort level, and cycle.
