In cultures worldwide and throughout history, yoni steaming has remained a well-respected ritual for supporting all aspects of women’s general health and wellness—not just related to vaginal or womb health. Purported benefits range from the physical to the emotional and even the spiritual. Yoni steaming is an ancient and established remedy that has crossed borders and timelines and, frankly, it frickin’ rocks.
Why the hell should I steam my vagina?
This practice can help treat painful periods, dysmenorrhea, irregular menses, yeast infections, UTIs, perineal or vaginal tears, fibroids; it can enhance fertility and can improve ovarian or vaginal cysts, scarring from C-sections, or even hemorrhoids. It can also assist in easing pain from painful intercourse, vaginal dryness caused by menopause or contraception, and much, much more. For me, it helped regulate irregular menses, heavy bleeding, and cramps that I suffered from after several miscarriages.
