Vaginal steaming – what it is

Women worldwide use vaginal steaming (often called v-steaming, yoni steaming, chai-yok, or bajo), a practice of sitting down above a vessel of steaming water that is infused with refreshing herbs.

This comfortable treatment offers potent support for the female reproductive system, and invites reconnection with the creative, powerful essence of the feminine center.

Learn how to detox your vagina with herbal steaming

Regardless of whether you use a steam box or simply put a bowl in the toilet (do-it-yourself version), we recommend – to ensure that the steaming process is practiced safely – that the water and herbs should generallly be no less than 16 inches from the vulva, and that the steam goes up naturally without a steady source of heat.

Make sure you wrap a big blanket or sheet surrounding your waist down to the ground ensuring no steam escapes during your vaginal steam ritual at your home.

A healthy woman can steam in average two to three times a month as part of an overall wellness routine, always at a time when you are not having your period.
