The Sensual Sanctuary: Sensual Self-Care

Holistic Intimate Self-Care is about taking  a comprehensive approach to caring for your intimate area - both physically and emotionally. While maintaining good hygiene, protecting yourself during sexual activity, and addressing emotional issues are all important aspects of intimate self-care, there are also a number of holistic practices that can help to improve overall health and well-being. One such practice is yoni steaming.

Yoni steaming, also known as vaginal steaming, is an ancient practice that has been used for centuries to promote reproductive health and well-being. The practice involves sitting over a steaming pot of herbs, allowing the steam to gently penetrate the vaginal area. The heat and steam can help to increase circulation and open up the pores, allowing the herbs to penetrate the skin and deliver their therapeutic properties.

Yoni steaming can be used to address a wide range of issues, including menstrual cramps, irregular periods, vaginal dryness, and bacterial infections. The herbs used in yoni steaming can also help to improve fertility and support postpartum recovery.

To practice yoni steaming, you will need a few key items - a steaming pot or a large bowl (not plastic), water, and a selection of herbs. Some popular herbs used in yoni steaming include calendula, rose petals, and motherwort. Consult with a Peristeam Facilitator who can create a customized blend using a combination of herbs that will address your specific needs.

It's important to note that yoni steaming is not recommended for pregnant women, women with IUDs, or women who have recently given birth. It's always best to consult with a peristeam facilitator before trying a yoni steam, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.

In addition to yoni steaming, there are a number of other holistic intimate self-care practices that can be incorporated into your routine. These can include practicing yoga or other forms of exercise, eating a balanced diet, and incorporating self-care practices such as journaling or meditation.

Neglecting intimate self-care is neglecting your sexual health and well-being. So make it a priority and love yourself enough to take care of it!
