Yoni steaming, also known as vaginal steaming, is an ancient practice that has gained popularity in recent years as a method for preparing the body for labor and delivery. This holistic approach involves sitting over a gentle, and very mild steaming pot of water infused with gentle edible herbs to help increase circulation, moisturize and soften the cervix, thus preparing the body for labor. The practice of yoni steaming can help balance hormones, increase circulation to the pelvic area, and encourage the onset of labor.
Typically, vaginal steaming during pregnancy is contraindicated and not advised because it can encourage the cervix to open- not something we want unless we are past 39 weeks pregnant!
By incorporating yoni steaming into their labor preparation routine, expectant mothers aim to support their bodies in the natural process of childbirth. During the steaming process, the steam from the herbal infusion penetrates the vaginal tissues, helping to relax the muscles and soften the cervix. This can potentially aid in reducing discomfort during labor and promoting a smoother delivery. It is important to note that yoni steaming should be done with caution and under the guidance of a trained practitioner, especially during pregnancy. As with any holistic practice, it is essential to consult with a healthcare provider before incorporating yoni steaming into your labor preparation routine.
The steam is warm but mild enough that if a newborn were introduced to it, it would be gentle and relaxing on their skin.

Practiced for years by ancient cultures, yoni steaming promotes feminine wellness by naturally cleansing the uterus and vagina. The combination of heat and herbs stimulates circulation and increases blood flow to the pelvic area, both of which may help to induce labor. Certain herbs used in yoni steaming, such as rosemary and basil, can stimulate the uterus and help bring on labor.
The warmth and moisture from the steam may relax the pelvic muscles and promote blood circulation in the reproductive organs, which may encourage contractions to start.
