Pelvic Steaming

Pelvic Steaming, also known as vaginal steaming, is a deeply therapeutic and ancestral practice used to support pelvic and reproductive wellness. This healing ritual exists across cultures: in traditional Mayan medicine, it’s called Bajos; in Ayurveda, it appears as Yoni Swedhana; and in Korea, it’s known as Chai Yok. These age-old methods remain powerful tools for modern holistic care.

At Saasil Birth, when conducting our Pelvic Steaming rituals, we incorporate the wisdom of Kundalini Yoga, the use of mantras, and herbal hydrotherapy as key elements for womb healing. The skin around the inner thighs, perineum, labia, and buttocks is highly absorbent, making it especially receptive to the medicinal properties of the steam and herbs. Steaming offers a gentle yet effective way to care for this sacred part of the body.

Benefits of Pelvic Steaming:

• Womb and vaginal health
• Relief from menstrual discomfort and irregular cycles
• Postpartum recovery and healing
• Labor preparation support
• Support after pregnancy loss
