    Do you suffer from a gynaecological ailment or have recently had a baby?
    Embrace the Ancient Wisdom of Ayurvedic Yoni Steaming.

    A holistic ritual that nurtures your sacred feminine space and promotes balance, rejuvenation, and self-care. It is used in Ayurveda to treat many gynaecological disorders.

    What is Ayurvedic Yoni Steaming? 

    Ayurvedic Yoni Steaming is a gentle practice where carefully selected herbs and warm steam combine to create a soothing and therapeutic experience. The warm steam envelopes your yoni (vaginal area), encouraging deep relaxation and enhancing the natural flow of energy. This centuries-old tradition is all about honouring and connecting with your feminine essence.

    The Power of Healing:

    Experience a range of benefits that go beyond the physical. Ayurvedic Yoni Steaming can help alleviate menstrual discomfort, promote reproductive health, and foster hormonal balance. It's a natural way to embrace your femininity and cultivate inner harmony.

    Vaginal steaming  is not only done when there is an ailment, it can be beneficial for the healthy person and it is traditionally done in the post partum period which is called Sutika in Ayurveda. 

    It is said that this treatment can be useful in treating fibroids, candidiasis, painful periods and used in fertility treatment.

    The localised steaming of the vaginal area helps to increase circulation within the area. This helps to improve the blood flow.

    Dhoopana is the method of fumigation using substances of plant (sthavara), mineral and animal (jangama) origin.

    Steaming is not only done in Yonivyapad (gynaecological disorders) but also karnarogas (ailment of the ears), nasarogas (ailments of the nose) and gudrogas (anorectal disease).

    Yoni dhoopana is the fumigation of the vulva and the vagina with a medicinal smoke. It has been mentioned in the classical textbooks in the treatment of yonivyapad (gynaecological disorder) and Sutika (post partum). 

    It is not only indicated in the treatment of disease (vyadhi chikitsa) is is also beneficial for the healthy person (swasthya rakshana).

    Dhoopana herbs have been mentioned in the Bruhatrayi and Kashaypa Samhita (classical Ayurvedic textbooks). The ayurvedic herbs used are mainly katu/ heating, tikta/ bitter, laghu/ light and ruksha/drying in nature.
