HOW OFTEN SHOULD I YONI STEAM?
***PLEASE DO NOT STEAM IF YOU ARE PREGNANT, BLEEDING, HAVE AN ACUTE INFECTION OR HAVE ANY OPEN SORES/ RASHES OR AN IUD.
WHEN TO STEAM?
- As part of an overall self-care, women should steam once or twice a week, always during weeks in which you are not menstruating.
- Women who suffer from pain, old dark blood, bloating or exhaustion during menstruation should steam 1-2 times within the week before menstruation.
- Excess/Thick Vaginal Mucus, Steam 2 days in a week, discharge often lightens up and eventually should clear up.
- Women who are experiencing Fertility challenges should steam once per week, and maybe twice during pre-ovulation, to make sure that the tissue is moist and that the cervical fluids are clear and copious. Expect to steam for a minimum of three to six months before possible results (These results may vary as there are many factors that affect fertility).
- For Postpartum; After giving birth, most women bleed for about 1-6 weeks. This bleeding is called Lochia and is a combination of blood, uterine tissue and bacteria. The point where the placental implantation heals and then detaches from the uterine wall is known as Eschar. Yoni steaming may be done 2 times per week for an initial four(4) weeks to facilitate healing and then once a week for toning of the uterus and vagina, as long as the client is no longer bleeding and any postpartum incisions and/or cuts have healed. If the mother is breast feeding, caution would be taken with herbs used.
- Women who are experiencing or have passed menopause should steam at least once a week or twice a month for maintenance.
- Women steaming to address an infection should do an In-Office Steam Once a week and a mild steam at home every 2 days for 3 weeks as long as there are no cuts and open wounds.
- After a Steam, your body may dislodge or cleanse anything that may be hindering your bodies harmonious rhythm. These treatments are usually done 2-3 times a month or sometimes more frequent depending on your specific issues being addressed.
- If Steaming to get Pregnant, Steam In-Office EVERY WEEK for 2-3 months. After two to three months of Yoni Steaming and cleansing, return once again to your intention to conceive. As you actively begin your conception process, you should discontinue yoni steaming. This is important since its purpose is to help your uterus shed its lining, which of course you don’t want to do once your fertilized egg implants! Continue to avoid coffee, alcohol, gluten and processed foods, but start to incorporate more blood building foods. Fertility is nourished by sweet and salty tastes along with sticky, stable, heavy, warm and oily qualities. Sweet and salty foods such as honey, coconut oil, almonds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, help build reproductive tissue, so these are great to eat during this time.
