Yoni Steaming
Cultures across the world have used yoni steaming or vaginal steaming. Your vagina is your most sacred space. And that is why so many of us are reclaiming the word Yoni. The word Yoni is Sanskrit for "sacred space" and we find that this is only word that really sums up what this space really is. Yoni is also known as “vagina,” “womb,” or “origin of life.”
On the physical level, Yoni Steaming is the practice of squatting over a pot of steaming, carefully selected herbs, for up to 30-45 minutes. Today, beautiful, and creative wooden and electronic steam seats (which will be used at Alafia Holistic) have been crafted, making steaming more comfortable and approachable. The steam from the pot then surrounds the outside of a female's vulva and enters the vagina and womb space. The herb-infused steam promotes circulation within the body and carries healing properties into the yoni.
On a spiritual level,the steam brings awareness to the yoni, and with this awareness comes the connection to her root and sacral chakras, ancient wisdom, generational history, energies of past lovers, stagnate trauma... and the list goes on. This awareness, connection, and support of the penetrative steam allows for breakthroughs in healing and an infusion of Divine Feminine power.
On an emotional level,our wombs hold onto a lot of emotions, memories, and traumas. This is all held within our sacral chakra which is one of the energy centres of the body. An unbalanced sacral chakra and unhealed womb may present symptoms such as, hormone imbalances, low libido, insecurities, depression, feeling mentally unstable, difficulties or pain in the reproductive system or trauma. because steaming helps to unlock stagnate trauma and energies, it will inevitably also unlock emotions. For some, steaming is a helpful practice for working through sexual trauma and feelings of shame and guilt that are often embedded in this intimate area of the body. '
What are Fibroids?
Fibroids are firm, roundish, noncancerous growths of muscle layers in the uterus. They consist of dense tissues and according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are “solidified phlegm.” Usually located within the main part of the uterus, fibroids are rarely found along the vaginal cancel or the outer extremities of the vulva. Fibroids can range in size quite dramatically, from the size of a small pebble to a cantaloupe of even larger.
For some women fibroids give no cause for concern and grow unnoticed. For many, fibroids; can cause heavy and painful periods and lead to fatigue and anaemia. In some cases, fibroids, can cause infertility and increase the risk of miscarriage. Other indications of fibroids are pressure on or adjacent organs such as the bladder. Fibroids are VERY common, affecting up to 60% of women, depending on factors including age and race.
Racial Inequities in Health
Black women have a far higher incidence rate of fibroids than white women. Some estimates show that a quarter of black women between 18 and 30 have fibroids, compared with 7 percent of white women; by age 35, that number increases to 60 percent.” fibroids often occur in women aged 30-50 and develop more frequently in women of African and Caribbean descent. Black women suffer disproportionately from fibroids and are three to five times more likely to develop them than White women. Black women also tend to have larger, more numerous fibroids, that grow quicker, causing more severe symptoms.Fibroids develop earlier (in their 20s versus 30s for white women).
​
Those who are overweight, started puberty early, or have not birthed children, are more likely to have fibroids.
