I came across yoni steaming/vagina seaming when I was recovering from one of my miscarriages. I haven't done them often because d read you are supposed to do them in the days leading up to AF and is absolutely incompatible with pregnancy, and since we've always been NTNP I didn't want to chance it. I did two though while healing from a mc, and twice in my postpartum with my son.
I've recently learned though that it can also be donevrior to ovulation, and especially in combination with Maya abdominal massage, can have a positive effect on fertility. So I now to both together. As soon as AF leaves I steam 3 days in a row and start abdominal massage, which I continue until after I confirm ovulation. I do gentler massage after ovulation to increase blood flow to the region in lieu of acupuncture I used to have done (too expensive to continue, and I like that I can do this myself)
There are supposedly lots of benefits to steaming - it encourages any built up stuff from incomplete shedding to come out (what I'm going for - I have really light bleeding that concerns me isn't complete ), decrease heavy bleeding and cramps, increase fertility, etc.
For me it's become a little self care practice. Sitting in a blanket tent over a pot of steaming herbs is like a little sauna, and the aroma is always very relaxing (I add lavender which helps me sleep) I enjoy a cup of tea and quiet time to myself.
It's also a way I can connect with my femininity - taking care of my womb and vagina.
My moods have been amazing since I've started doing this and whether it's a placebo or not I plan to continue this little ritual, at least once a month (whenever I'm not pregnant ) for a very long time.
