DIRECTIONS FOR YOUR YONI STEAM
- Empty your bladder before starting your steam setup.
- Check to see that the pot/bowl you are planning to use fits comfortably in your toilet (underneath the seat).
- In a medium-covered pot, pour 8 cups of water and bring water to a soft boil.
- (optional) Clean your toilet/bathroom while you are waiting for the water to boil so the toilet feels cleaner. 😉
- It is very important to test the temperature of the steam before using it with your hand. If it feels too hot, wait 15 seconds and test it again until it feels comfortably warm to steam with.
- Pour 4 cups (half) of water into the bowl you have placed in your toilet.
- Wave your hand 8-10 inches over the herbal water to make sure it is not too hot.
- Remove your underwear and sit on the seat above the steaming water with your legs mostly closed. Especially if you have had tearing.
- (Advanced setup only!) Drape a large blanket or sheet around your waist/shoulders down to the floor making sure no steam escapes.
- Make sure you keep yourself warm, keeping something on your feet (socks, slippers) and neck. You do not want any cold to get into your body while you are trying to warm it.
- You should feel a warm, rolling heat from the pot for about 10-12 minutes.
- (Advanced setup only!) When the steam dies down, dump the water into the toilet. Starting with step #4 begin the second dosage. If it has cooled too much, reheat the water but test again before sitting over the steam.
How To Clean Up After a Yoni Steam
Steam Pot Clean-up: Use a designated sponge and wash out the steam pot with water and dish soap. Then disinfect the steam pot afterwards with hydrogen peroxide, apple cider vinegar, alcohol or essential oil dilution (oregano, frankincense, tea tree, clove are all good).
