PELVIC steam - Yoni Steam - VAGINAL steam
Pelvic Steaming (aka yoni or vaginal steam) is a natural, highly-valued, centuries-old, method used historically the world over to care for genital and reproductive parts by allowing the warmth of an herbal steam bath to permeate the genital tissue.
Traditionally, the person steaming squatted bare-bottomed over pots, bowls or pits filled with healing herbs and steaming water, allowing the vapors to penetrate the vaginal and/or rectal canal. Today we use comfortable stools in a private setting. Temperatures are controlled for comfort. Herbs are tailored to your specific needs.
Respected by healers around the globe, pelvic steaming is an opportunity to reconnect and utilize the wisdom of ancient medicine.
