What Are Shower Steamers and Why You Should Use Them

Haven't heard of a shower steamer before? You've come to the right place! Here at The Shower Steamer we live and breathe shower steamers - literally! Find some of the commonly asked questions below and get started on your shower steamer journey today.

What is a shower steamer and how do shower steamers work?

A shower steamer is a small tablet filled with a variety of essential oils that individually and together can bring many benefits to the user. The tablet is to be placed on the ground of the shower and as water touches the tablet, organic essential oils are released into the steam creating a relaxing and beautiful smelling aromatherapy chamber that massage the body and senses.

What are the benefits of using a shower steamer? 

There are many different benefits associated with using a shower steamer containing organic essential oils, and these vary depending on the ingredients the steamer includes. Some of the general benefits can include

  • Helping to clear sinuses by opening up nasal passages and reducing inflammation. Many people use them to help relieve congestion caused by colds, allergies, and sinus infections.
  • Reducing anxiety and stress by promoting relaxation through aromatherapy
  • Improving sleep quality by relieving pain, easing muscle tension and reducing anxiety

Aromatherapy has been around for centuries, helping people to relax and feel good. Many people use essential oils in their daily lives to help with anxiety, depression, stress and other problems. The steam from a shower can also help relieve these issues, so it's not surprising that many people are interested in combining the two methods.

How do you use them to get the best results?

To get the best results from your shower steamer, place a single 30g tablet on the shower floor away from the heavy stream. This can be in the corner of the shower, as long as the tablet still receives contact with the stream of water. Using hot water will create more steam, and a more effective aromatherapy experience. Prevent the steamer from being submerged in water that is too deep as this will cause the tablet to dissolve more quickly.

What kind of shower steamer should I buy?
