Steam showers were the first to come on the market around a decade ago. At the time, they were merely a method for dispersing humidified water in conjunction with features typical of a standard shower. Contemporary ensuite and bathroom remodel, Ottawa Home Pros has installed steam showers with more features than the initial steam showers.
Aromatherapy
Steam showers combine steam’s benefits with aromatherapy and essential oils therapy. There are numerous benefits to using essential oils, which will vary based on the oil used. Steam showerheads now have oil wells where you can easily add drops of essential oils. With these models, you can control the aroma steam from within the shower. You can pick from many scents, each with the ability to create its unique impact. For instance, eucalyptus may get used to relieving congestion or lavender to relax.
Chromotherapy
The essence of chromotherapy is using colored lighting with the stream of water in the shower and steam to counteract the effects of stress and promote relaxation. Studies have shown that the colors in our surroundings can influence our feelings and our immune and nervous systems. Chromotherapy is now very popular in wellness spas and accessible in your home.
Sound Therapy
To enhance your home spa experience to the next level, we can mix steam and music within the steam bath. Shower sound therapy technology has grown exponentially in the past few years. The most recent addition to a homeowner’s bathroom included blue-tooth speakers hidden behind the walls of the shower’s granite. It also has a moderately priced waterproof speaker system, which can get controlled by an app installed via your smartphone or an input jack wired for audio. A relaxing sound or else to begin your day is just another way to enhance your experience with the steam showers.
Alongside the availability of these features for steam showers, it is also worth noting that the general technology of steam showers has progressed a lot. Most steam showers are self-cleaning and do not require flushing manually. Modern technology allows steam to get delivered within a matter of minutes.
