How to do a yoni steam

It seems like a lot of setting up the first time you do it! After you've done it a few times, you will see how easy it is to set up.

 

  • Set up a clean area. Place your steam bowl where you'll have room and be comfortable.

 

  • Start a pot of 4-8 cups of water to boil with a lid. Once you have a rolling boil, turn the heat down, add herbs to the water and simmer for 5–7 minutes. Turn off heat and let steep.

 

  • Once you are ready to sit and steam, transfer the herb to the bowl. Sit down, get comfortable, get your blanket or towel around you, close the steam up so that no cold air comes in.

 

  • Steam for about 15–30 minutes.

 

What to expect after steaming

 

In the days following, there are several things you may experience; changes in your cycle, lighter period, the release of dark blood clots. You might notice changes right away or more subtly.
