Are you interested in making aromatherapy part of your steam shower? A steam shower is already a "feel good" experience. When you incorporate aromatic oils, however, you can expect to emerge even more relaxed, with your mind and body invigorated. MrSteam considers aroma a vital part of SteamTherapy. For that reason, we have created several ways for you to blend aroma with steam and take your showers to the next level.
Practiced for thousands of years, aromatherapy is considered mankind's first holistic therapy. The ancient Greeks and Romans associated aromatic essential oils with a variety of health and wellness benefits.
Nowadays, aromatherapy is part of the holistic practice of caring for the body. Aromatherapy oils can help you use your sense of smell to improve your overall health and mental well-being, from relaxing lavender that can help you calm down at the end of a long day to invigorating mint or eucalyptus, which may help open air passages and make you feel more energized.
There are several ways you can incorporate aromatherapy into your existing steam shower or room and make the most of even an everyday shower experience. If you are wondering how to use essential oils in a steam room, you will find that MrSteam has the tools needed to help you make the most of every shower.
The MrSteam towel warmer comes with a built-in aroma oil well in both the Broadway and Metro collections. Choose your oil and place it in the well, then turn it on and allow the heat of the towel warmer to do the rest. The scent of the oil will permeate the room, making your shower even more relaxing.
The AromaSteam system is included in the iDream package.
You can also easily install the AromaSteam system with MrSteam Steam Shower Systems. All you need is access to a 120v plug for the AromaPump, and about one hour of labor from a plumber. The AromaPump can be located anywhere outside of the shower, ideally somewhere easy for you to access so you can change the AromaSteam bottle when it is empty.

The AromaSteam steamhead is an in-the-moment, low-tech way to start experimenting with SteamTherapy. To use essential oils in a steam shower, start with one drop of your chosen oil in the steam head to gauge strength and suitability. You should not add more than a few drops. Always place drops in the steam head recess before turning on your steam shower. Once they're there, you can simply step into the shower and enjoy!
Note: if you intend to use different essential oils or fragrances, we recommend wiping off the steam head or the towel warmer reservoir before starting a new oil. Some oils may not combine well, and you may end up with some residue from the last oil in your shower.
