How to perform a yoni steam at home

Whether you make use of a steam chair or just place a bowl in the toilet (DIY version), we recommend – to ensure that the treatment is practiced properly – that the herbs and water should always be at least 16 inches away from the vulva, and that the steam goes up naturally without having a steady source of heat.

Be sure you wrap a large blanket or sheet around your waist all the way down to the floor making sure no steam gets out while having your yoni steam session at your home.

A healthy woman could steam in average 2-3 times every month as a part of a general wellness routine, however, preferably not during her menstruation.
