Yoni Steam Bath
6:38 PM
Copied from MommaRutthi.com - "Commonly known as vaginal steam baths, a more appropriate name would be yoni steam bath since it’s benefits go far beyond the vagina. These steam baths are incredibly healing to the perineum, uterus, and overall reproductive system. Women suffering from yeast, bacterial vaginosis, spasms, fibroids, painful menstruations, irregular menstruation, and fertility issues can greatly benefit from a vaginal and womb space steam bath. Steam baths penetrate and gently clean without spreading bacteria further through the reproductive system (like douching tends to do). The 10 herbs used promote blood circulation and oxygenation to the reproductive system, bring warmth back into the uterus, assist with proper PH balance, repair damaged tissues, and help break down scar tissue.
While contraindicated during pregnancy, this is a wonderful healing remedy for the postpartum mother. A new mother should wait until her bleeding has completely stopped and her sutures have completely healed before doing her first postpartum steam bath."
A Yoni Steam, also known as vaginal steam, is the ancient practice of sitting or squatting over steaming pot of water infused with herbs. It’s a powerful ally for women’s vitality in nourishing the uterus, regulating irregular cycles, reducing menstrual pain and imbalances and supporting fertility and reproductive health. It also supports spiritual and emotional cleansing and healing by reconnecting a woman with her feminine center and Inner Woman.

It’s important to understand that Yoni Steaming is not for cleaning your vulva or vagina. Your vagina is inherently self-cleaning. When the Yoni Steaming is described as cleansing, it is referring to the way the heat and steam supports our feminine bodies in their own natural release and vibrant vitality.
Yoni ~ meaning sacred place, vulva, vagina & womb.
How Yoni Steams can help you through the sacred stages of womanhood
Heat is medicine for the feminine body. Where cold causes contraction, heat supports opening and release. The moist heat softens the womb and the tissues, increases vital blood flow and supports your womb in releasing any stagnant blood that may have built up.
For a pleasurable moontime and easing menstrual pain, imbalances and blood clots: Setting aside time for 1-3 Yoni Steam Rituals during your pre-menstrual phase are one of the best ways to prepare for your moontime / bleeding phase and nurture pelvic stagnancy and blood clots. The warming steam aids in cleansing and nourishing the uterine membrane. It’s important to know that healthy menstrual blood flows easily, in a bright red color with no clots.
For fertility: Yoni Steams are a great support in nourishing our feminine bodies into their natural state of fertility and creativity. It helps to create uterine membranes that are moist and receptive for conception to happen. If you are actively trying to conceive, you can use the Yoni Steam during your pre-ovulation phase up until ovulation, to prepare for conception. Do not steam after possible conception.
After miscarriage: During the vulnerable time following a miscarriage, a Yoni Steam Ritual may support your body in cleansing and can also be a wonderful tool for connecting with your feminine center and Inner Woman to avoid stagnant emotions taking root in your body. You can begin to Yoni Steam once your bleeding has ceased. It is important to take the time to honor the initiation of this experience and actively support the energetic and physical release.
Postpartum: Keeping women warm is at the heart of many women’s wisdom practices across the world, including traditional postpartum practices. Using Yoni Steams after birth brings nourishing heat, supports the body to release fluids, and aids the womb in shrinking back to pre-pregnancy size. If you have had a caesarian you want to wait a little longer than vaginal birth, until you’ve healed well.
Peri-menopause and menopause: When your cycles are slowing down or changing, the Yoni Steam can stimulate circulation and support your womb to continue to release fully. On the other side of menopause, the warming steam can be revitalizing for vaginal dryness while nourishing a deep connection to your feminine center and Inner Woman in a time of initiation and transformation.
Pelvic pain, tightness or pain during intercourse: For women experiencing pelvic pain, chronic holding, or tightness the Yoni Steam helps to soothe and relax the pelvic muscles. Combine the steam with breath awareness and full diaphragmatic breathing to relax your pelvic muscles and create a loving connection with your feminine center.
After Hysterectomy or other pelvic surgeries: The heat and warmth can be a soothing therapy for scar tissue. When combined with castor oil packs and massage it helps to increase vitality after surgery. Doing a Yoni Steam may also be helpful in emotionally and energetically reconnecting with your feminine center after an invasive procedure and experience.
Avoid Yoni Steams if:
- You are pregnant or think you may be pregnant!
- You are bleeding
- If you have an IUD or another contraceptive device in place.
- Have a vaginal infection or open wounds.
- When trying to support infertility or a specific condition where there may be particular contraindications to be aware of.
For me, it was love at first try. I find it to be such a deeply nourishing ritual. I don’t suffer from any menstrual or reproductive issues. It’s just something that I’ve been wanting to try for some time. Momma Rutthi to the rescue! If you are local to San Diego or Temecula Valley, she’s your girl. Rutthi arrived with a basket full of colorful blankets. She quickly boiled the herbs that almost immediately infused my entire home with the scent of Lavender, Rosemary, and other herbs. We set up in my Master Bedroom for privacy. Once the herbs were ready, we headed upstairs where I sat on the vaginal steam stool. Rutthi bundled me up and left me to pray and relax. The steam was warm and soothing. After we finished, I was the most relaxed I have been in four months. Our family life has been in crisis mode since my husband was involved in an accident in January. (More on this maybe later. All is progressing extremely well and he’s on the mend.)
