Yoni Steaming?!! Vajacial?! Steam What?! Who? How?!! Yes, show your “girl” some love. It’s ok. The rhetoric about ladyparts being nasty and dirty has died with your great aunt’s missile bras and taken us deeper into our roots. By embracing our bodies, we are also dusting off ancient traditions that we lost through oppression, colonialism, slavery, witch hunts, and or westernization. Mannn, listen! You know it must be good if it survived all of that!! Today, I’m going to attempt to demystify the yoni steam (a ritual that is finally gaining popularity in the western world) by letting you be part of my yoni steaming session (in the video below). Yoni/Vaginal Steaming/Smoking is just a small part to a bigger picture. Yoni Steaming is a self-care regimen that helps detox the womb/yoni/vagina and maintains vaginal health. I witnessed yoni steaming/smoking from the African Muslim women in my community growing up. I didn’t really get invited to participate until after marriage. At that point, I learned how to incorporate it as a monthly regimen and the rest is history. Yoni steaming is “Me” time, self-care, and has its sensual pleasures too. When I say it’s a small part to a bigger picture, I mean it’s a break off from the Hammam (i.e. Turkish Bath) culture and from the womanhood rites of passage rituals throughout Africa, Asia, & Arabia (pretty much the indigenous world). To learn more watch the video below, visit our shop (where you can purchase yoni steam herbal blends, yoni steaming chairs/stools, etc), attend a Rites of Passage Institute Workshop, or book a yoni steaming session with us! Oh, and I am drinking tea in this video, but I promise I’m not putting anybody in the sunken place 😉

The benefits are too many for me to name. Ok, some you will have to find out on your own cause it's way too personal. If I can describe one aspect it is a clearing, a feeling of a new start. Does anyone else have experiences like this?

I love this so much! Self care is catch phrase these days, and without saying in a cliche way, self care or self health is key to maintaining balance. Just taking a moment to schedule time for your self is showing yourself love in such a simple way. It also creates a level of respect for yourself that will most definitely be reflected in the the people with whom you interact and with whom you build relationships.
