About Yoni Steam

Yoni (Sanskrit word meaning: “womb”, “uterus”, “vagina”, “vulva”, “abode”, or “source'') steaming is an ancient healing technique for the female reproductive system.  

Benefits of Vaginal Steaming

Vaginal steaming may improve uterine function by increasing circulation. The heat from steam causes vasodilation which increases circulation to the exposed area, as well as the uterine blood vessels that connect to the vaginal canal, cervix, and uterus. As with any organ, increasing circulation helps to improve the overall function and vitality so that it can perm its function more optimally. 

Steam may increase the efficiency of the natural womb cleanse. People who steam commonly report an increase in the removal of old residue and mucus in their discharge or menstrual flow following steaming. 

In severe cases, people who steam have observed the expulsion of black, sticky, tar-like menses, large clots, green mucus, tissue masses, dried blood chips and scar tissue from previous uterine surgeries or trauma. 

However with continued practice, periods are likely to flow with fresh, red, oxygenated blood from start to finish.

Steam may deep clean skin cells, clearing impurities and contributing to regeneration of cells. Steaming helps both external and internal tissue cells to be deeply cleansed and drained, resulting in the reduction or elimination of swollen or inflamed bumps, ingrown hairs, clogged ducts and related issues. 

Steam may be an effective topical treatment for lower and upper reproductive organs. V steam directly reaches the external perineum, vaginal canal, the bottom of the cervix and possibly the uterus cavity when the cervix is open following birth.

This makes steaming a useful tool for gently reaching delicate and sensitive areas without the use of manual tools, instruments, hands, surgery or invasive force.

Vaginal Steaming may be a method of herb administration because of how permeable the vaginal mucus membrane is and how vaginal blood vessels connect to the body's circulatory system. 

If herbs are indeed absorbed during a steam session, this can help to administer herbs with properties that target specific health imbalances. 

For example, instead of oral antibiotics to treat infections connected to the reproductive organs and adjacent anatomy, one might be able to observe comparable success with antibacterial herbs administered via vaginal steaming.

Steam may trigger oxytocin release by stimulating triggers that communicate with the brain. It may be possible that vaginal steaming triggers the brain in a way that is responsible for oxytocin release. Studies have shown that vaginal touch triggers the brain to release oxytocin.

If steam is setting off this trigger then that would explain reports by steam users of experiencing deeper sleep, enhanced feelings of love and sexual pleasure, increased breastmilk production a higher stater of relaxation and an overall increase of happiness following vaginal steaming. All of these feelings are associated with the oxytocin hormone.
