What is vaginal steaming?

Women of all ages around the globe perform vaginal steaming (often called yoni steaming, v-steaming, chai-yok, or bajo), a practice of sitting above a pot of boiling water that is infused with re-energizing natural herbs.

This gentle treatment provides beneficial support to the female reproductive system, and encourages reconnection with the powerful, creative energy of a woman’s center.

The best way to perform a vaginal steam properly

In order for the steaming process to be safe, whether utilizing a steam box or simply just putting a pot in a toilet (do-it-yourself version), our recommendation is that the water and herbs are placed at least 16 inches away from the vagina, and also that the steam goes up in a natural way without a continuous source of heat.

Make sure you drape a large sheet or blanket around your waist down to the ground making sure no steam gets out while having your vaginal steam ritual in the convenience of your home.

As part of an overall wellness routine, we recommend that healthy women steam 2-3 times each month, always during weeks when they are not having her period.
