Vaginal Steaming (aka yoni steam, v-steam, bajo) is a practice in which a woman allows the warmth of herbal steam to permeate the exterior of her vagina. Respected by healers around the globe, vaginal steaming is an opportunity to reconnect with your body and utilize the wisdom of herbal medicine to heal your cycle.
The combination of herbs work to nourish, tone, heal, bring in fresh oxygenated blood, promote cleansing, and supply the vaginal area and uterine tissues. The moist heat opens the pores of the tissues it comes into contact with. The water vapor carries the medicinal benefits of the plants, including volatile oils. This is absorbed into the tissues and enters the bloodstream, having a direct healing effect on the reproductive system. Vaginal tissue is one of the most absorbent of the entire female body. It is recommended having a vaginal steam once to twice per month. The vaginal steam session last around 30-45 minutes; depending on your need. You will sit over a hot steam of herbs in a serenity setting while detoxifies inside and out.

HEADACHESIf you develop a headache after steaming this may mean that you are dehydrated. Just like when you spend time in a jacuzzi or full body sauna, it is important to make sure to drink enough fluids. If you are not dehydrated, a headache after steaming may be a sign that the steam session increased your circulation too quickly. In this case, reduce the length of the steam session to 20 min or less. You can gradually increase the length of the sessions by 5 min at a time.

INFECTIONSometimes someone feels like they got an infection after steaming because they have increase or clumpy discharge. In fact, the steaming is a cleanse and the way that it helps clear up infections is by first clearing out all of the irregular mucus which has bacteria, yeast or viruses in it. If you have mucus discharge after steaming that is a good sign that the cleanse is working.

SENSATION TO URINATEThe bladder is right next to the vagina so sometimes the steam stimulates it giving the sensation to urinate. Go to the bathroom and empty your bladder and continue steaming. The sensation usually goes away after few minutes.

CRAMPINGIf cramping occurs after steaming, this might be a sign that some old residue has loosened up and the uterus is going to try to help get it out by contracting. Cramping might also increase during menstruation. If either of these occurs, it is recommended to increase the amount of herbs that you are using to help loosen up the old residue even more.
