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.
