Yoni Serum
Yoni is the Sanskrit word for female genitalia. I believe it literally translates as “sacred space”, which I love.
Living Libations makes some absolutely amazing yoni serums. One for priming the tissues for the passage of birth, one for soothing the tissues after birth and one I call the love lube…their Petal Passion Serum. While they are named for passion, priming and soothing, they can be used daily to tone and soothe the delicate tissues of the vulva.
Since learning more about the yoni in Renegade Beauty (why do we know so little about our own bodies?!), I am VERY discerning about what I use on my own. These libations are so clean. They are full to the brim with raw, organic, wildcrafted ingredients that actually work for us instead of against us. Yes!
I have both the passion serum and the soother serum and love them. If I was to be approaching birth again, I would definitely use the primer serum for perineal preparation. I did daily perineal massage to tone the tissues from 32 weeks onward before I gave birth before and I did not experience any tearing so I would definitely do it again and use the serum to prime and prep.
