By using Yoni Picchu, Ayurvedic physicians can get Ayurvedic herbal oils right to where they are needed. The mucus membrane in your vagina can directly absorb the herbal goodness. The advantage of this way of administering the herbs is that they do not need to go through your digestive system first. Usually, your practitioner will prescribe an oil, and you do this treatment at home. Here is how it works.

1 cotton ball

12” strip of gauze

Medicated Ayurvedic Oil

1.  First, place a cotton ball on the gauze strip and tie a knot around it. The loose ends are used to retrieve the Picchu later (like the thread on a tampon). Make sure they are long enough before inserting the Picchu.
2. Next, you soak the Picchu in medicated oil.
3. And now you insert it into your vagina like a tampon and leave it for 2-3 hours.
