Yoni steaming, also known as vaginal steaming, is a sacred practice that dates back thousands of years, deeply rooted in the traditions of Africa, Asia, Central America, and Indigenous cultures worldwide. This ancient healing ritual involves sitting over warm, herb-infused steam to cleanse, nourish, and revitalize the womb and reproductive system.
• Africa: Many African cultures have long practiced vaginal steaming as part of postpartum care, cleansing, and fertility rituals, using indigenous herbs to promote healing.
•Asia: In countries like Korea, “chai-yok” has been a traditional practice for centuries, used in spas and homes to support women’s health and balance the body’s energy.
• Central & South America: Mayan midwives and healers have passed down steaming practices for generations, incorporating it into holistic reproductive care to support menstruation, fertility, and postpartum recovery.
• Indigenous Traditions: Many Native and Indigenous cultures worldwide have honored yoni steaming as a sacred self-care ritual, using local medicinal plants to promote overall well-being.
Today, yoni steaming is experiencing a powerful resurgence as women seek natural, holistic ways to reconnect with their bodies. While it is primarily used for menstrual health, womb wellness, and postpartum healing, many also embrace it for its relaxing and spiritual benefits—helping women reclaim ancient wisdom and nurture their divine feminine energy.
This time-honored tradition continues to be a sacred act of self-love, healing, and empowerment, bridging the wisdom of the past with the needs of the modern woman.
1. During Pregnancy
Steaming can stimulate circulation and pelvic muscles, potentially leading to uterine contractions that may not be safe during pregnancy.
2. During Menstruation
Steaming increases heat and blood flow, which may lead to heavier bleeding and discomfort during your period. It’s best to wait until after your cycle ends.
3. If You Have an Active Infection
If you have a yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis (BV), or any active vaginal infection, steaming may worsen symptoms by increasing warmth and moisture, which can encourage bacterial growth.
4. If You Have Open Wounds or Irritations
Avoid steaming if you have cuts, sores, recent surgeries (such as a C-section), or vaginal irritation, as heat and steam may cause discomfort or slow healing.
5. If You Have an IUD or Internal Device
Steaming may cause the cervix to soften, which could disrupt an intrauterine device (IUD) or other internal contraceptive devices. Consult with a healthcare provider before steaming.
6. If You Are Trying to Conceive (Post-Ovulation)
While some women use steaming to support fertility before ovulation, steaming after ovulation or during the luteal phase (when implantation might occur) may not be ideal, as it could increase uterine contractions.
7. If You Are Extremely Sensitive to Heat
If you have conditions like low blood pressure, heat sensitivity, or are prone to dizziness, steaming may cause lightheadedness. Always ensure the steam is at a comfortable temperature and avoid prolonged sessions.
8. If You're Fighting an Illness Such as the Flu or Any Other Fevered Condition. Your body is already working hard to regulate temperature, and steaming may exacerbate symptoms.
9. After waxing or laser hair removal. The skin will be extra sensitive, and steaming may cause discomfort or irritation. We recommend waiting 4 days after waxing and 2 weeks after laser hair removal.
