WHAT IS YONI STEAMING?
Yoni Steam also known as Yoni Steaming or Vagina Steam, is an ancient and traditional self-care practice that has been used by women for centuries to heal and tone the vagina. The warmth of the medicinal herbs are absorbed and circulated into the reproductive system where they help to stimulate healing, cleansing, detoxing, nourish the vagina and cleanse old residue in the vaginal canal and womb. It is used for medical and healing purposes. It provides gentle & effective support for reproductive health and well-ness.
WHO SHOULD YONI STEAM?
We encourage most women to Yoni Steam. You are likely to see great benefits from the ancient/natural remedy if you suffer from irregular menstrual cycles, menstrual cramps, infertility, uterine fibroid, perennial tears, yeast infections, vaginal or ovarian cysts, hemorrhoids, had an hysterectomy and more. Yoni Steaming is also recommended if you have none of the issues above but would like to reconnect with your feminine energy, pamper & soothe yourself, relieve stress, anxiety, insomnia or have some self-care "ME" time.
CAN I ADD ESSENTIAL OILS TO MY YONI STEAM?
Do NOT add or use essential oils for Yoni Steaming, as they are too harsh for the vaginal tissue.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I STEAM?
Try not to Yoni Steam more than 4 times per month and never Yoni Steam while menstruating.
Examples:
- For self-care, hygiene & maintenance - You may Yoni Steam up to 1 time per week
- To reduce period pain/cramps & bloating - Yoni Steam up to 2-3 times the week before your period starts
- When trying to conceive - Yoni Steam 1-2 times per week before ovulation (DO NOT Yoni Steam during or after ovulation).
HOW LONG AFTER HAVING A BABY, MISCARRIAGE OR AN ABORTION SHOULD I WAIT BEFORE YONI STEAMING?
We recommend waiting at least 6 weeks after having a baby, miscarriage or abortion before Yoni Steaming to make sure you do not have any internal cuts.
CAN I STEAM IF I HAVE AN IUD/COIL?
If you have an IUD, please note that there is a very small chance that the IUD may dislodge due to the strong nature of the herbs which may cause the uterus to contract & relax. When an IUD is present, you risk the chance of it dislodging, shifting or expelling. With that said, if you would like to use our Yoni Steam with an IUD intact it would be at your own risk. We also recommend only steaming for 15 minutes if you decide to do it with an IUD. However, House of Her does not advocate for steaming with an IUD.
CAN YONI STEAMING CAUSE ME TO GET A YEAST INFECTION?
Less than 1% of women may develop a yeast infection after steaming especially after their first time steaming. This may occur when/if the steam and/or herbs throws the pH balance off - this does not mean that you should not/cannot Yoni Steam again as your body usually adapts to the change after the first steam. You will still reap the health benefits that the steaming provided as the herbs were still able to circulate & penetrate into your vagina and uterus.
CAN I STEAM WHILE PREGNANT?
No, you cannot. Steaming while pregnant can be dangerous because the steam may cause the cervix to contract and relax, which could result in miscarriage or early labor.
Can I Yoni Steam if I am breastfeeding?
No, you cannot!
THEY SAY THAT THE VAGINA IS "SELF-CLEANING", SO WHY WOULD I DO THIS?
Yes, the vagina is self cleaning but it is not self healing. The womb just like any other organ needs aide to heal and cleanse from impurities. That is where Yoni Steaming can help. Plus it promotes self-care, is a great stress reliever and smells amazing.
CAN I YONI STEAM WHILE MENSTRUATING OR SPOTTING?
Steaming while bleeding is not recommended because the herbs in our Yoni Steam promote blood flow in the uterus and that can cause heavy bleeding if you are already on your menstrual cycle. Steaming can be done one to two days before your menstrual cycle or 24 hours after your cycle ends.
I'M TRYING TO CONCEIVE, WHEN SHOULD I YONI STEAM?
If you are trying to conceive, you can steam during the time right before your period and right after your period has ended. Do not steam once ovulation begins. Steaming during ovulation can interfere with the sperm, fertilization or implantation.
CAN I YONI STEAM IF I'VE HAD A HYSTERECTOMY?
Yes. You can steam after you've had a partial or full hysterectomy. Many women experience dryness and irritation after a hysterectomy, steaming can help with that.
