Nourish Your Feminine Essence: Homemade Yoni Steaming Recipe
“To be a woman is the last, highest incarnation”
- Yogi Bhajan
DIY Yoni Steaming Guide for Natural Healing & Feminine Wellness
I personally practice Yoni Steaming regularly as part of my holistic health journey. It’s an incredibly powerful healing modality and an ancient ritual used by many indigenous cultures for centuries. Yoni Steams are a gentle yet effective way to help your body cleanse the vaginal and uterine linings, releasing stagnant energy from your womb and promoting overall reproductive health.
This ancient practice is a wonderful way to restore balance and vibrant health to your womb space. It also allows you to reconnect with your feminine energy and unlock the magic of your womb wisdom.
Yoni Steaming offers a transformative experience that nurtures your body, mind, and spirit. It's the perfect self-care ritual to honour yourself, restore your inner harmony, and empower your feminine essence.

Duration of Yoni Steaming: What's Best for You
Your yoni steam should be tailored to your unique body and cycle. The length of your session and the herbs you use can significantly influence how effective and nourishing the practice feels.
Here’s a gentle guide to help you choose what’s best for you:
SHORTER MENSTRUAL CYCLES (27 DAYS OR LESS)
Steam Time: No longer than 10–15 minutes
LONGER MENSTRUAL CYCLES
Steam Time: Up to 30 minutes is suitable
HOT FLASHES, UTIS, OR NIGHT SWEATS
Steam Time: Keep it short — 10 minutes or less
Herbs: Choose herbs with cooling properties like peppermint or rose petals
Essential Tips for Yoni Steaming
To ensure a safe and nurturing experience, keep these important guidelines in mind:
DO NOT STEAM DURING MENSTRUATION (including light spotting) – Your womb is already cleansing naturally. Let it complete this sacred process without added stimulation.
DO NOT STEAM DURING PREGNANCY – Yoni steaming is not recommended while pregnant, as it can stimulate the uterus.
NEVER USE ESSENTIAL OILS – They are far too strong for the sensitive vaginal area and may cause irritation or harm.
ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR BODY – Your body holds deep wisdom. If anything feels off, adjust the duration or herbs. Your womb is your greatest guide.
Powerful Herbs for Womb Wellness
When it comes to nurturing your womb, I love taking an intuitive approach — letting the plants call to me. Still, it can be helpful to have a starting point, especially if you're new to working with herbal allies. Below are some gentle yet potent herbs traditionally used to support womb health and emotional balance.
Always choose organic, high-quality herbs to ensure purity and safety.
Suggested Herbs:
Chamomile – soothing, calming, supports emotional release
Calendula – promotes tissue healing, gentle cleansing
Rosemary – stimulates circulation, deeply protective
Nettle – rich in iron and minerals, nourishing for the blood
Mugwort – awakens intuition, supports menstrual regulation

Unlocking Sacred Healing: DIY Yoni Steaming Ritual Guide
Prepare a sacred space: light a candle and play some beautiful soothing music
Add water to a pot. Once boiling, add a handful of herbs and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it steep for 5-10 minutes (with the lid on, to keep the oils of the herbs in the steam).
There are different options when it comes to steaming. You could purchase a specific steaming chair or one can simply squat over the pot. I like to use a designated metal bowl that I simply place inside the clean toilet—this is easy and comfortable, without needing to purchase a chair.
Pour the water with the boiled herbs into your bowl (you may need to wait a bit for it to cool down further. It should be a beautiful and gentle steam).
Wrap a big towel or sheet around your waist creating a ‘sweat-lodge’ effect and then sit on the toilet seat or squat over the bowl (whichever option you prefer) and allow the healing steam to rise into your yoni.
Relax and open to your womb’s wisdom!
