Steaming your hoo-hah is one of the greatest remedies I have discovered for improved reproductive health and wellbeing.

If you're reading this, it's likely that you've Googled your way through natural remedies to support the symptoms and effects of living with PCOS. I imagine it's a little unlikely that you've discovered yoni steaming in those searches? Yoni Steaming is a process where the vulva, vaginal opening and perineum are exposed to herbal steam for a short time.

If you were with me five years ago, you ’d know that a dear friend of mine blew the whistle on the ancient practice of yoni steaming. I was just beginning to step deeper into my role as a feminine embodiment coach, and this changed everything. I haven ’t looked back since.

I remember meticulously boiling my herbs, before transferring them into a bowl and not so gracefully squatting over them with a towel over my lap while I listened to some relaxing meditation music. After a few minutes I could feel the warm tingling sensation all over my yoni and felt somewhat connected to her.

I continued with this practice monthly and the results for my own reproductive and mental health were so profound, that not only have I continued yoni steaming as a regular practice, I recommend it to ninety percent of my clients (and have even created entire courses to educate on this topic and guide women through the process).

Here are four ways that steaming your bean on a regular basis may significantly reduce the symptoms of PCOS and get you back to living your best life!

HELPS REGULATE MENSTRUAL CYCLES

Many women have found that a regular yoni steaming practice can help to regulate menstrual cycles and cleanse any remaining residue from previous cycles. A good clear-out means improved circulation and a lighter flow while reducing the risk of developing clots that can be painful to pass through the cervix.

PROVIDES PAIN RELIEF FROM INFLAMMATION

If you suffer from PCOS you may be experiencing heavy, painful and irregular periods. The heat from the steam between your legs causes increased blood flow to those areas, dilating capillaries. This produces an analgesic or pain relief response for inflamed tissue.

GENTLE & NATURAL HORMONE REGULATION

Herbal remedies have long been used to regulate hormones and women ' s health. Herbs should be carefully selected for the therapeutic treatment of specific conditions such as PCOS where there is an imbalance of insulin and male hormones, affecting normal menstrual cycles and mental and emotional wellbeing.

For example, a Yoni Steaming blend of the following herbs could be considered for the relief of PCOS symptoms: Cinnamon - to improve insulin sensitivity Spearmint - to reduce free testosterone Licorice root - to reduce testosterone and other androgens (male hormones) St. John ’ s Wort - to ease symptoms of depression

DEEPER CONNECTION & APPRECIATION FOR YOUR BODY

The most profound benefit of yoni steaming is a deeper connection to your body. When treated as a self-loving ritual, creating a sacred space, surrounded by ambient lighting, comfortable cushions, and relaxing music, yoni steaming becomes a devotional practice whereby you begin a conversation with your yoni and womb.

My clients will often experience a powerful emotional release and become aware of any underlying emotions or limiting beliefs that are often linked to the manifestation of their physical symptoms.

Having this awareness and the support to clear emotional blockages with this practice can often create long-lasting, physiological healing pathways.

Every woman and her body is different. It is important that you seek advice for your specific condition/s from your medical professional before including yoni steaming into your healing regime. This process is not recommended during pregnancy, as the steam softens the cervix. It is extremely important to cease yoni steaming if you do become pregnant. So, with all that being said... Are you ready to dive in and steam up your life?
