Instructions:
 
Add packet of herbs into a large pot of boiling water. Cover with a lid and simmer for approximately five minutes. Remove from the heat and let it steep for an additional five minutes leaving the lid on the pot.
 
Place the pot directly under the hole of your yoni steam chair on top of a folded towel. Lift the lid and let the steam rise—-making sure your post is close enough that you can feel the warm steam, but not close enough that it is uncomfortable.
 
Create a sacred space: dim the lights, burn candles, play soft music, anoint yourself with essential oils or us an oil diffuser.
 
Completely undress (or just from the waist down) and wrap a large blanket or sheet around your waist creating a ‘sweat lodge’ affect with no drafts. Steam for approximately twenty minutes.
 
When your yoni steam is complete, it is recommended to rest and stay warm. Dreams may also be enhanced from this experience so doing this ritual prior to sleep is very beneficial.
 
 
Benefits:
 
According to Soul Vibrance, “When dried herbs are placed in the hot water, the volatile oils that contain medicinal properties are released. A yoni steam works by applying gentle heat, as well as moisture that caries these volatile oils, to the exterior tissues of the vagina (the tissue referred to as the vulva). The warmth and moisture increases circulation to the labia, causing it to swell and expose the inner labial mucus membranes. These tissues are very porous and absorbent, and the bloodstream picks up the volatile oils can carries them into the inner reproductive system, including the uterus. Thus, the herbal steam increases circulation, thins mucus and revitalizes the entire system, allowing it to shed unnecessary membranes and build-up. The result is a healthier, more pleasant cycle and a more connected woman.”
