How to Yoni Steam: A Step-by-Step Guide
Yoni steaming is a time-honored tradition for self-care, relaxation, and connection to your feminine energy. If you’re ready to embark on this beautiful practice, here’s how to safely and effectively perform a yoni steam at home.
Steps to Yoni Steam
1. Prepare Your Water and Herbs
• Pour 4–6 cups of water into a pot and bring it to a boil.
• Lower the heat to a simmer and add ¼ cup of your chosen herbs.
2. Simmer and Steep
• Allow the herbs to simmer for 5–10 minutes with the pot covered.
• Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for another 5–10 minutes to release all the nutrients.
3. Transfer to Your Steaming Bowl
• Pour the herbal infusion into a stainless steel bowl or a yoni steaming seat.
4. Set Up Your Space
• Disrobe from the waist down.
• Wrap a large blanket or towel around your waist to keep the steam contained.
5. Steam Safely
• Squat over the bowl or sit on your steaming seat.
• Ensure the steam isn’t too hot—let it cool slightly if needed before sitting over it.
6. Relax and Reconnect
• Steam for 20–40 minutes or as long as the steam feels comfortable.
• Use this time to relax, meditate, or set intentions.
7. Post-Steam Care
• If possible, lie down afterward and rest. Take a nap to extend the relaxation benefits.
• Dispose of the herbs by pouring them into the grass, offering gratitude to the universe.
