The Vaginal Steam Bath, also known as a Yoni Steam Bath, is a combination of herbs and steam, used for medicinal purposes, in the enhancement of pelvic and uterine health.

This natural and non-invasive treatment has been used for centuries by indigenous healers throughout the world for physical, emotional and spiritual healing.

Used in conjunction with Embodied Traditions™ Holistic Abdominal Therapy, the Vaginal Steam Bath helps cleanse the uterus and pelvis of congestion and stagnation, relaxes the pelvic floor muscles, and is an effective treatment for many difficult uterine and pelvic conditions.

The Vaginal Steam Bath is a very private relaxing seated steam treatment using medicinal herbs infused in water.  

The combination of heat from the steam and medicinal properties of the plants are deeply cleansing for the uterus. The medicinal steam penetrates into the tissues, softening the cervix to dislodge and release indurated menstrual fluids and pathological accumulations that have not properly released with each monthly cycle. 

In addition, the steam bath softens and nourishes internal membranes and increases blood flow, to allow for a healthier environment to the pelvic region.

"There is wisdom worth exploring in practices that have been passed down for centuries."   ~Rosita Arvigo
