Steam Shower

The difference between a regular shower and a steam shower is that a steam shower produces water vapor using a steam generator. The health and relaxing benefits of steam showers have been around for centuries but recent developments in steam shower equipment have popularized this form of shower.

Steam showers are found in a self-contained enclosure that does not allow the water vapor into the rest of the bathroom. This not only concentrates the steam and saves energy but also prevents the bathroom walls from being damaged by the water vapors. A steam shower room contains a steam shower unit which produces steam, steam shower jets which pump steam into the room and a steam shower door that prevents steam from escaping. Contrary to popular belief, a steam shower uses heated water vapors and not steam. The steam that you see coming out of your water kettle would burn your skin.

Proponents of steam showers mention that the benefits include:

Stress relief and relaxation
Temporary relief of muscle ache and pains
Detoxification and cleansing of the body
Hydrates skin and body tone
Water vapor inhalation to relieve respiratory ailments
