How to yoni steam.

Yoni steaming is an ancient practice of bathing the womb in warm, herb-infused steam. Below is your full ceremonial walkthrough — watch the video and follow the steps.

The Ritual
  1. 01

    Prepare your space

    Choose a private, warm room. Light a candle, dim the lights, and set an intention. Have a robe or large towel ready to drape from waist to ankles.

  2. 02

    Brew the herbs

    Bring 4–6 cups of filtered water to a boil. Add one handful of the Yoni Steam blend, cover, and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and steep covered for another 5 minutes.

  3. 03

    Test the temperature

    Carefully transfer the pot to your steam seat (or a sturdy heat-safe bowl in the toilet bowl). Hold your hand 8–10 inches above the steam — it should feel warm and inviting, never hot or stinging.

  4. 04

    Settle in & steam

    Disrobe from the waist down, drape yourself, and sit comfortably over the steam for 20–30 minutes. Breathe slow. Sip warm tea. Pray, journal, or simply rest.

  5. 05

    Aftercare

    Wrap yourself warm and lie down for at least 30 minutes — ideally an hour. Drink water. Avoid cold air, cold drinks, and strenuous activity for the rest of the day.
