YONI/ROOT STEAM BATH FAQ:
What does the word “Yoni” mean?
The term “Yoni” is Sanskrit for Vagina which means Womb, Origin of Life, Divine Passage, Sacred Space or Sacred Temple. It describes a woman’s reproductive system in its entirety.
What is a Yoni/Root Steam Bath?
A Yoni/Root Steam bath is essentially a uterine lavage. It gently and effectively cleanses the uterus of any stagnation, build-up of old blood and corrects many issues dealing with with menstruation, fertility and menopause. The healing steam and volatile oils from the plant medicine aids in clearing old uterine membranes and restoring homeostasis.
Yoni/Root steams may also be called “v-steams” or “vaginal steams.” They are called “Bajos” by the Maya traditional healers in Central America and is an ancient practice that provides gentle and effective support for women’s wellness and reproductive health.
How does it work?
The steams work by applying moist heat to the pelvic bowl which caries healing medicinal volatile oils to the exterior tissues of the vagina as well as systemically throughout the entire body via the blood stream. 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 and carries them deeply 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 old membrane and mucus build-up. Steaming support the womb to return to her harmonic physical and emotional alignment. When herbs are heated in water, the healing oils that contain medicinal properties are then released.
What are the benefits of Yoni/Root Steams?
The benefits of a Yoni/Root Steam Bath are a healthier cycle and a more centered, connected and empowered woman. The combination of steam and essential oils from the plants penetrate deeply into the cervix and uterus to dislodge indurated menstrual fluids and pathological accumulations that have not properly sloughed off with each monthly cycle. Induration of the uterine membrane causes the uterus to cramp fiercely to expel the hardened or thickened accumulation.
The Moist Heat of the steam bath is good medicine for the feminine body as it supports and softens the womb and the surrounding tissues, increases blood flow in the pelvic bowl and supports the uterus in releasing old stagnant blood.
Steams can assist in healing a wide variety of gynecological issues. They are very effective at enhancing fertility and assisting in postpartum recovery.
The Range of Benefits:
What can a first time client expect it to feel like?
A first time client can expect it to feel relaxed and pampered as the warmth of the steam is very comforting and soothing. You may feel as if the steam is rising inside you like the kundalini energy and many times you can taste the herbs on your tongue. Your face will glow and your cheeks will be rosy as if you just had a facial as the steam has a full body systemic effect on blood flow.
You can expect your menstrual cycle may change after doing a yoni steam. Often, there is a great deal of debris that is lining the inside of your womb, which is expelled after doing the yoni steam. The herbs have a powerful effect on the uterus, dislodging much of what is stuck. Sometimes this means your flow will be heavy, dark and thick for just a day or two, and other times it just extends the length of your period to get it all out. Most likely, your next periods will be much lighter and more pleasant than ever before.
After doing several treatments, you'll feel relaxed, rejuvenated, and revitalized. Emotionally, you'll feel your body letting go of past traumas, and you'll feel more connected to your body than ever before.
