What are V Steams?

Written by Noel Williams

V Steam, also called Yoni or vaginal steam, is an ancient practice of women’s health. Before we had the modern-day gynecological practices that we have today, our ancestors used V Steams to treat their “lady issues”. When steaming, a woman simply sits over a pot of boiled herbs and lets the steam rise to her “yoni”. The steam of the herbs can have physiological effects on the yoni, womb, and the body. This practice is both spiritually and physically stimulating.

I started my journey with V Steaming several years ago with the sole purpose of addressing my fibroids. I was so focused on addressing the fibroids that I did not realize I was going to experience all the other wonderful benefits of steaming. I have had cramps with my periods for as long as I can remember. When I started taking birth control pills in my early twenties, I also developed hormonal migraines with my periods. I essentially became a prisoner to my period. I had to plan activities… vacations… job interviews… dates… my entire life around when my period was expected to arrive. Shortly after I started steaming consistently, my periods improved in every way imaginable. In addition to no longer experiencing cramps, migraines, or mood swings with my periods, my fibroids are shrinking :-)

Before stumbling upon the practice of steaming, I had no idea this was available for women. I had never heard of such a thing! The first time I was told about V Steams, I remember exclaiming “you want me to steam what?!” When I think about all the years I suffered through my periods, I truly wish I discovered steaming sooner. I want to help other women achieve the “perfect period” as well as build a sense of confidence in herself. I want women to know that there are alternative options for some of the most common everyday “lady issues”.
