About this episode

​WOW! Let us apologize for the echo on this episode. However, we think it’s tolerable. Our DMs have been popping through the year with questions about yoni or vaginal steaming, so we needed to find a practitioner who knows more about this.
Chantal Blake joins us from Dakkar, crossing the sea just to teach us about the globally ancient science of yoni steaming, a technique that addresses common issues women encounter daily. Heavy periods, infertility, sexual issues, watch out! Steaming may be the key to plumper, healthier vulva and uterus. In addition, let’s talk herbs, hot and cold foods, and diet as it relates to overall women's health.
Of course, none of this episode is medical advice, but it is information about female reproductive and sexual wellness that we deserve to know is out there as an option when maybe we’ve hit a wall with everything else. Ask a doctor you trust, or check out our links in Shownotes for certified vaginal steaming practitioners near you.
Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon Music or check out our website for easiest listening.
