In Ayurvedic, Mayan and other ancient cultural traditions, the practice of caring for feminine internal processes and organs through vaginal or Yoni steaming has long been considered an integral part of women’s overall health.

Yoni steaming helps increase fertility and revitalize and tone the female reproductive system. Benefits include the regulation of the menstrual flow and reduction of symptoms associated with menstruation, including cramps, bloating and the discomforts of menopause. In addition, this method is used to address pathologies of the uterus, including uterine weakness, prolapse and fibroids, along with treating yeast infections and odor through the cleansing of the vaginal membranes.

On a deeper level, the womb purification provided by steaming is thought to be helpful in the healing of unconscious emotional trauma and other elements related to the sacral chakra. This region of the body is associated with suppressed emotions that can fester and cause other reproductive issues. The herbs commonly used in the Yoni steam and the act of squatting itself allow women to reconnect with their bodies and feminine center.
