Discovering Pelvic Steaming
It all started with a Yoni throne.
My journey with steaming began with a friend commissioning my partner to craft her a throne for Yoni steaming.
Intrigued and curious. I became part of the creation process.
So many questions were bubbling inside me.
What is vaginal steaming?
What elements are required for steaming?
How do you choose which herbs to use?
Could I incorporate Chinese Herbs into this practice?
What are the benefits? Is it safe for everyone?
If you're new to vaginal steaming you may be asking some of the same questions I was. After researching and becoming certified as an Acupuncture Steam Therapist and studying Peristeam Hydrotherapy I can now answer these questions and more!
Yoni steaming is an ancient practice used by traditional cultures all over the world for postpartum care. Another common cross-cultural practice is for women to steam after they are done with their monthly bleed to complete their uterine cleanse .
It goes by many names: Yoni steam, Vaginal steam ,V-steam, Peristeam, or Pelvic Steaming.
It involves either sitting (on a throne, seat, or stool built specifically for this purpose) or kneeling over a pot of warm herbs. The goal is to position the body in such a way that is comfortable and allows the steam to gently bathe the entire pelvic region with warmth. Much like a facial is done to hydrate the skin, steam is known for its ability to bring circulation & moisture to any place it comes in contact with.
