What to Expect from Your First Yoni/Root Steam Bath

​

Your first yoni steam session is often experienced as deeply relaxing and nourishing. The warmth of the steam is soothing to the pelvic area and creates a gentle, comforting embrace that many describe as womb-like. Some women report sensations of the steam rising internally, activating their energy centers like kundalini, while others note a subtle herbal taste on their tongue or a deep emotional release. After a session, your face may glow and your cheeks appear rosy—much like after a facial—thanks to increased circulation and systemic blood flow.

 

How Your Menstrual Cycle May Shift

​

It’s very common for your cycle to change after beginning yoni steaming. This is because the herbs help dislodge and clear out old residue from the uterine lining. If you’ve had dark, brown, or clotted blood at the beginning or end of your period, this may be old stagnation that has not fully released.

​

After steaming, you may notice:

• A heavier flow for a day or two as your body releases buildup

• A slightly longer cycle during the initial clearing phase

• Subsequent cycles that are lighter, brighter, and more easeful

Over time, many women report that their periods become more regular, with fewer cramps and less discomfort. When the uterine lining is clean and healthy, it’s also better prepared to build a fertile lining in the next cycle.

 

Emotional and Energetic Shifts

​

Beyond physical effects, yoni steaming can help you feel emotionally lighter and more connected to your body. Many women describe a sense of release from past trauma, enhanced body awareness, and a renewed connection to their feminine power. After several treatments, it’s common to feel relaxed, clear, and deeply revitalized.

 

Clinical Insights from Dr. Bella’s Practice

​

As a holistic physician and midwife, I recommend yoni steaming regularly in my practice for a range of reasons:

• Preventative wellness and menstrual regulation

• Fertility support and womb preparation

• Vaginal dryness due to menopause or nursing

• Postpartum healing and pelvic toning

• Clearing brown or purple blood and uterine stagnation

Steaming works by helping the body release indurated (hardened) blood and tissue that may have adhered to the uterine wall. When this debris is cleared, the womb becomes more receptive to nourishing new life—whether that be in the form of a baby, creativity, or emotional renewal.

 

Expect to Feel More “Juicy”

​

Many women report increased cervical fluid after steaming, leading to improved natural lubrication and more pleasurable intimacy. This is especially beneficial for women experiencing dryness due to menopause or hormonal contraceptives.

 

Expect to Attain the “Perfect Period”

​

When combined with Arvigo® Maya Abdominal Therapy, steaming two to three times in the weeks leading up to your period can significantly reduce or eliminate cramps and discomfort. Contrary to common belief, painful menstruation is not normal—it is a sign of stagnation or imbalance that can be addressed with holistic care.
