Yoni Steaming: A Simple Herbal Treatment for Women’s Reproductive Health

Many women experience reproductive health challenges in one form or another – from mild to severe menstrual cramps and irregular periods, to pain during intercourse, to challenges with conceiving a child. Often, women accept these challenges as normal, and rarely talk about the discomfort and suffering they cause. Yet there exists a simple herbal remedy that a growing number of women are calling upon to naturally treat the root cause of these challenges, and to heal their precious reproductive systems. This wonderful and effective treatment is referred to as the yoni steam, and it has stood the test of time.

Around the world, especially in Mayan and Korean culture, yoni steaming is a well-respected ritual for improving women’s health. After just a few steams, women often report reduced cramps, regulation of cycles, easier conception, and healing of abnormal tissues in and around the uterus. “We have seen absolutely astounding and universal results from yoni steaming. The results are clear. Its right there!” states Dr. Rosita Arvigo, Director of The Arvigo Institute.

Although it is often called the “vaginal steam,” many prefer to call this gentle process yoni steaming because indeed it is more than simply the vagina and external organs that benefit from the medicinal steam. In Sanskrit, the term “yoni” refers to the entire female reproductive system – from the exterior vulva to the internal womb, all of which stand to benefit from the medicinal properties of the yoni steaming herbs.

Yoni steaming is known to assist the entire reproductive system with cleansing itself, encouraging it to shed the unnecessary membranes and build-up that cause many of the discomforts and challenges that women experience. Proponents say that the gentle process works by applying the warmth of mild steam carrying the volatile oils of medicinal plants to the exterior tissues of the vagina (this area is referred to as the vulva). As warmth and moisture increase circulation to the region, the vagina and pelvis are relaxed and softened. The steam also causes the labia to swell and expose more tissue, and the mucus membranes to thin. Because these tissues are very porous, the volatile oils are absorbed into the bloodstream, and eventually into the uterus. To be clear, yoni steaming is a very gentle process that does not involve any sort of high-pressure application of hot water or steam.

Unfortunately, there are a lack of scientific studies to prove that yoni steaming works, however, countless women have shared their success stories, lending to a growing body of evidence that demonstrates the remedy’s effectiveness. One woman raved, “After doing 3 steams my period has appeared to have returned to normal! I was experiencing very heavy long periods. One period lasted 18 days. After steaming my last period lasted 5 days and I hardly had any PMS symptoms...no clotting or heavy bleeding. HALLELUJAH!”

While some spas have begun offering yoni steam treatments, and while it may be a great way for women to pamper ourselves, yoni steaming should not be confused with a beauty treatment. Furthermore, it need not be an expensive treatment reserved for the privileged. According to Vibrant Souls, a company that educates women worldwide about how to steam and makes yoni steaming herbs available online, yoni steams can be done in the comfort of any home, and are quite inexpensive.

Yoni steaming is gaining respect as an increasing number of women find it to be a safe and effective treatment for their reproductive discomforts and challenges. Given its gentle nature, yoni steaming is safe for most any woman to try at home, unless she has a severe infection, has an Intrauterine Device (IUD), or thinks she may be pregnant.

Whether a woman’s life is dramatically improved because of easier menstruation, or she simply experiences a greater connection with her yoni, the benefits of this ancient wisdom are clear. Its time every woman is aware of this ancient natural solution, and has access to the information and resources she needs to treat herself. For the sake of women, their families, and the planet.
