Some benefits from the Yoni steam
How does a Yoni Steam work?
Vaginal steaming is a hidden gem when it comes to enhancing the health of the womb. The yoni tissue is one of the most absorbent of the entire female body. Due to the rich network of blood vessels and mucous membranes, it is believed that the plant compounds' essence is readily absorbed through the vaginal walls. This high permeability has led to doctors prescribing vaginal suppositories for addressing infections or hormonal imbalances. Vaginal steaming is thought to play a role in softening and purifying the uterine wall by clearing accumulated debris. The steam does not directly enter the womb, its warmth softens tissues, relaxes the belly and pelvic floor, and enhances blood and lymph flow. In Chinese medicine, this process is viewed as beneficial for alleviating body coldness and stagnation.
The Yoni Steam also provides purification and release. Steaming helps women to literally purify their core and release energy and matter they no longer wish to hold in their wombs. It allows women to forgive themselves and others for unpleasant incidents that have occurred over their lifetimes. Steam treatments allow the womb to clear out old residue. As that matter releases, women likewise release emotional feelings that have been stuck inside. It can be a very profound healing tool for women to overcome old emotions and trauma.
Why are herbs used?
In general, herbs are used that promote circulation, cleanse, reduce yeast and bacteria, reduce inflammation, strengthen, nourish, and tone. Herbs are optional. You can steam with mineral salts and/or organic rose petals.
