How to Do A Sacred Yoni Steam

It's beautiful to have you here, choosing to be in communion and connection with your sacred heaven. You go, Goddess!

What is the Yoni?

Yoni is the Sanskrit word for the female genitalia, the Womb and Vagina. It literally means “sacred place” and symbolize our divine nature and it is a sacred portal to life. In ancient Chinese Taoist traditions is also referred as “golden lotus”, “gates of paradise”, “sexual palace”, “precious perl”, “treasure”. 

What is Yoni Steam?

Gently steaming the yoni with healing herbs is a very simple, effective and ancient tradition. Generations of women from many indigenous cultures through centuries have been passing down this sacred ritual to energetically, emotionally and physically cleanse and nourish their yoni and awaken their Feminine Essence. During a Yoni Steam Ritual, you allow the warmth of selected and organic herbal steam to permeate and relax the sexual organs and womb.

How To Yoni Steam

Toilet Throne

Some may find it unpleasant, but truthfully, this one is actually quite easy and comfortable as long as you clean your toilet beforehand.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• A toilet
• A natural toilet bowl disinfectant and brush cleaner (non-toxic is better!)
• A wide-rimmed stainless steel or glass mixing bowl / or large pot with handles
• A large towel or blanket

To turn your toilet into a throne:

1. You’ll first want to give your toilet bowl and seat a good scrub. You’ll be able to sink into bliss knowing that you’re seated on a clean porcelain throne.
2. Next, prepare your water and yoni steaming herbs by pouring 8 cups of water (preferably spring water).
3. Place one handful of fresh herb(s) or 1/4 cup dried into the water. Do not add or use “essential oils” as they are too strong and may burn sensitive genital tissue.
4. Bring water to a soft boil for 5 minutes.
5. Turn off the heat, leave the lid on and steep for another 5 minutes with the lid on.
6. Carefully pour your herbs into the mixing bowl/pot and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
7. Place the mixing bowl/pot with the water and herbs into the basin of your toilet bowl. Close the seat (but not the lid). CAUTION: Make sure your bowl of herbs fits completely inside the toilet bowl basin before closing the lid and sitting down. Sitting down on a glass bowl that is too large for the toilet basin may result in broken glass. Please be careful!
8. Sit down on your toilet as you normally would. Notice if the steam feels too hot, and if so, open your legs or stand up to allow the water to cool.
9. Enjoy your Yoni Steam Ritual!

The Toilet Throne is easy, comfortable and accessible to most, although it does have two main draw backs. For one, you might not feel that sexy and goddess-like sitting on a toilet. This is a big one because…well… you’re supposed to feel like a goddess when you steam! The second is that the steam can actually be a little too hot when you’re so close to it. That’s why allowing the water to cool for 5 minutes is crucial for this method, as is knowing when the steam feels too hot for your skin. When it does, be sure to move away.

DIY Seat

A second option is to create your own set up using items found in your kitchen and dining room.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Two chairs with flat bottom rungs between the legs.
• A stainless steel or glass basin (a heat safe mixing bowl)
• An 8x12 inch cutting board (approximate size)
• Blankets or towels

To create your own Queen’s Chair:

1. Place your two dining room chairs side by side with approximately a 6-inch gap between the two seats (adjust to your own comfort).
2. Set the cutting board on the bottom rungs of the chairs such that the ends of the cutting board rest securely on either chair’s rungs
3. Next, prepare your water and yoni steaming herbs by pouring 8 cups of water (preferably spring water).
4. Place one handful of fresh herb(s) or 1/4 cup dried into the water. Do not add or use “essential oils” as they are too strong and may burn sensitive genital tissue.
5. Bring water to a soft boil for 5 minutes.
6. Turn off the heat, leave the lid on and steep for another 5 minutes with the lid on.
7. Carefully pour your herbs into the mixing bowl/pot and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
8. Carefully pour your herbs and water into your heat-safe basin, and place the basin on the cutting board between the two chairs, ensuring that it is stable before letting go.
9. Disrobe from the waist down and sit between your two chairs, placing your yoni directly on the space you created between them, with the basin below.
10. Wrap your blankets and towels around yourself, as well as the chairs, to keep as much steam as possible in.
11. Enjoy your Yoni Steam Ritual!

The benefit of this method is that it costs little to nothing, as most items can be found around the kitchen. The challenge is to keep the warmth and steam contained so that it is potent enough to have a real impact. For some who seek a more mild sensation and effect, this may prove to be a benefit!
