Shower Steamers

What Are Shower Steamers?

Shower steamers are small, disk-shaped products made with a combination of essential oils, natural ingredients, and baking soda. Unlike bath bombs, which dissolve in bathwater, shower steamers are designed to activate with steam and water in the shower. When placed in the shower, they release aromatic steam infused with therapeutic scents that enhance your mood and well-being.

Also referred to as shower bombs, they come in various scents, each offering unique benefits. From soothing lavender to energising eucalyptus, there’s a shower steamer for every need.

How to Use a Shower Steamer

Using a shower steamer is simple and adds a touch of luxury to your daily routine. Here are the steps:

1. Place It in the Shower: Position the shower steamer on the floor or a ledge where it’s exposed to steam but not directly under running water.
2. Activate with Water: Allow a few drops of water to reach the steamer, activating its fizzing action.
3. Enjoy the Aroma: As the steamer dissolves, it releases therapeutic essential oils into the steam, creating a relaxing or invigorating atmosphere.
4. Breathe Deeply: For the best results, inhale the aromatic steam deeply, letting the essential oils work their magic.

Pro Tip: If you’d like a more intense aroma, place the shower steamer closer to the water stream.

Aromatherapy Benefits of Shower Steamers

Shower steamers harness the power of aromatherapy to enhance both mental and physical well-being. Here’s how they work:

• Stress Relief: Scents like lavender and chamomile help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation.
• Energy Boost: Peppermint and citrus fragrances invigorate the senses, making them perfect for morning showers.
• Improved Focus: Eucalyptus and rosemary can enhance clarity and concentration.
• Better Breathing: Essential oils like menthol and tea tree help open up airways, making shower steamers great for congestion relief.

Shower Bombs vs Bath Bombs

While they might sound similar, shower bombs and bath bombs serve different purposes:

• Shower Bombs: Designed for use in showers, they release aroma through steam. They are ideal for people who prefer quick showers over baths.
• Bath Bombs: Dissolve in water, creating a soothing bath experience. They are better suited for those who enjoy soaking.

Both offer the benefits of aromatherapy but cater to different preferences and lifestyles.
