WHAT HERBS ARE USED IN OUR PRODUCTS AND WHY?
Mugwort: In addition to fighting infection through its antibiotic and anti-fungal properties, mugwort balances female hormones and stimulates the production of hormones that help to maintain uterine health as well as protect the uterus from things such as ulcers and tumors. Mugwort steam opens the pores, allowing the beneficial herbs to penetrate into the blood stream. In addition, mugwort helps to stimulate menstrual discharge and ease cramping.
Rosemary: An aromatic and antimicrobial herb, rosemary treats bacterial infection, speeds wound healing, inhibits yeast growth, and stimulates menstruation.
Lavender: One of the most relaxing herbs we have, lavender supports healing, and it also promotes menstrual flow.
Yarrow: Astringent, tonifying and cleansing, yarrow is great for regulating menstrual flow, treating ovarian cysts and supporting overall uterine health.
Motherwort: Astringent, tonifying and cleansing, motherwort strengthens and relaxes uterine muscles, eases uterine cramping, and may help treat uterine fibroids. Motherwort stimulates uterine tone and blood flow.
Calendula: Aids in healing of scar tissue, vaginal tears, or hemorrhoids.
Rose Petals: A relaxing, uplifting and astringent herb that is wonderful for pampering.
WHAT IS YONI OIL?
Our yoni oil is a blend of natural oils often infused with essential oils and herbs to care for feminine hygiene and vaginal self-care. The primary benefit of Yoni Oil is to moisturize the mons pubis and labia majora.
HOW TO USE YONI OIL?
After showering, or bathing you can use Yoni Oil to moisturize the mons pubis and labia majora area.
Do not insert yoni oil into your vagina. Instead, to increase vaginal moisture, you can practice Yoni Steaming, which will naturally increase vaginal moisture, vaginal detoxing, and vaginal toning.
WHAT IS VAGINAL STEAMING?
Vaginal steaming, yoni steaming, womb steaming, or “v-steaming” for short is a calming, rejuvenating practice that involves sitting or squatting over a pot of steaming water, typically infused with herbs. The moist heat brings warmth and encourages relaxation, while the steam also carries the essence of the herbs.
We are now experiencing a v-steam renaissance as more and more women discover and share how they use vaginal steaming to improve their lives today.
WHAT ARE THE PHYSICAL BENEFITS OF VAGINAL STEAMING?
A consistent Yoni steam practice can lead to an easy and pain-free period, increased fertility, increased vaginal lubrication, and reducing other uterine abnormalities.
WHEN IS YONI STEAMING NOT SAFE?
Pregnancy
Menstruating
Fresh RED spotting
Burning Itch
After Insemination (or IUI/IVF transfer)
Genital piercings must be removed because the heat will cause the piercing to burn you
WHY SHOULD A YONI STEAM NOT BE DONE DURING MENSTRUATION?
During menstruation, the uterus is in its natural process of shedding and releasing. Because this is already an intense, downward moving energy, the added stimulation of a yoni steam may cause heavy bleeding and excess material to flow out. For this reason, it is best to yoni steam on the weeks in which the uterus is in its more restful state.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I DO A YONI STEAM?
As part of an overall self-care regime, we recommend that women steam two to three times per month, always during weeks in which you are not menstruating. Women who suffer from pain, bloating or exhaustion during menstruation should steam two to three times within the week before menstruation. 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.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME OF THE MONTH TO STEAM?
You can steam at any time of the month, as long as you are not menstruating. It is typically recommended that for treating menstrual pain, you do you at least two vaginal steams in the week leading up to your period. After doing so, you will likely see a change in the fluid you pass when your period begins. You may also steam once after your cycle ends, to clear out any excess materials.
