Frequently Asked Questions about Yoni Steaming

I recommend both! Steaming before your cycle can help with regulation (timing) and loosening the endometrium (uterine lining) so that the uterus does not have to contract as hard. Steaming after your cycle can help any residue release and help to rebalance the energy after that release. It is also toning and nourishing to the uterus that just worked so hard for you. 

It depends on the person and what they are steaming for. If there is an issue like fibroids, cysts, and/or endometriosis; one can steam once or even twice a week. I usually steam about 2-3 times a month. Once before my cycle to help with cramping, once afterward and a random one whenever I feel called.  Full moon steaming is nice.

Yoni and Lingam are Sanskrit terms with diverse meanings across different cultural and spiritual traditions.

In Hinduism and Tantra, "Yoni" refers to the female reproductive organ, symbolizing the cosmic creative force and the divine feminine energy. It represents the sacred space, encompassing aspects of femininity, fertility, and the source of life.
