In the Cosmic Erogenous Zone: Scorpio Season

Did you also know that every zodiac sign is associated with a body part? And, how literal, Scorpio actually rules the genitals and sexual organs. It also rules reproductive health and although that all sounds super clinical- Scorpio is about getting in touch with your most intimate and powerful parts through sacred self pleasure, play, and ancient healing practices like the one below.

SACRED YONI STEAM

What the heck is a yoni steam?

A yoni steam is the practice of sitting over a steaming pot of water infused with medicinal herbs. Yoni steaming uses the healing power of plants and vital heat to restore balance to our feminine cycles in all life stages. The herb infused steam supports our bodies in the natural release of that which does not serve our optimal health, while connecting us to our inner womb center. Very Scorpio season vibes. (This practice can be used by anyone with a vagina, but is not recommended for anyone pregnant, on their period or who uses an IUD. It is especially beneficial for anyone postpartum.)

What does a yoni steam feel like?

Imagine a personal sauna for your yoni. Yum. Have a seat and receive the relaxing and healing benefits of a facial with medicinal purpose. There are very few ways we are taught to receive nourishing self care to this part of our body.

What does a yoni steam do?

Yoni steaming has seemingly endless benefits of supporting the feminine balances including:

• Menstrual Pain & PMS - Menopause Symptoms

• Restoring Irregular Menstrual Cycles - P.C.O.S.

(loss of cycle, bleed too much/too little) - Postpartum Healing

• Infertility - Detoxification

• Endometriosis - Trauma Release

How does a yoni steam work?

Physical body: As the herbs heat up in your covered pot of boiling water, they release volatile and aromatic oils, which infuse in the steam that builds up as you boil. The herbal steam relaxes your pelvic muscles, enters your vulva and is carried by the heat up into your womb.  The steam opens and releases, increasing circulation and blood flow to our uterus, bringing life-giving heat and warmth essential to detoxing and directing the medicinal oils of the herbs where they need to go. Always remember:  Heat is medicine for the feminine body. Good blood flow is essential to yoni health. Plants are our Healers and Teachers.

Emotional body: Our womb is where we carry emotions around anger, resentment, inability to forgive and let go of past traumas. It is also where we carry our creativity, self-expression, ability to manifest abundance and most importantly, the magic of our life-giving, compassionate, feminine essence. When our womb is full of one, there is no room for the other. As science is now finding out, our emotional and physical bodies are connected - our emotional state determines our physical health. Yoni steaming supports the release of past trauma to welcome in the new seeds we wish to grow. We forgive others to set ourselves free! This is a profound way to clear out the old and create loving space for the new.

How to Yoni Steam at Home:

Place water on boil. Add herbs (we love rose, chamomile, calendula, lavender, mugwort or rosemary).

Let water cool for 10-12 minutes so water is steaming, but not boiling.

Squat or straddle over the pot (we like to lean on an ottoman or edge of couch) wrap a blanket or towel around legs to hold in heat.

Relax and enjoy the warmth for 20 minutes. This is a great time to just vibe. You can write in a journal, listen to a guided meditation or set some intentions for yourself.

Once the time has passed, remain wrapped and lie down for at least an hour. Remember that yoni steaming is a form of self care so don’t rush it!
