Place the steamer on the floor of the shower away from the direct stream of water. As steam and occasional water splashes hit it, it slowly fizzes and releases essential oil vapour into the shower air. Breathe deeply to inhale the therapeutic aroma throughout your shower.
Place on the shower floor towards the back or side - away from the direct water stream but within range of spray and steam. This controls how quickly it dissolves and ensures a sustained release rather than a rapid fizz-out.
Depending on placement and water temperature, one steamer lasts a full 10–15 minute shower. If dissolved more quickly, the release is more intense but shorter. If you prefer a gentler, extended experience, place further from the water.
Yes. Shower steamers are designed for daily use. They contain skin-safe concentrations of essential oil in vapour form - you are inhaling the steam, not applying oil directly to skin. People with respiratory sensitivities should start with mild options (Lavender) before using eucalyptus-heavy varieties.
Yes. Bath bombs are designed to dissolve in bath water - a large volume of dilute water. Shower steamers use much higher essential oil concentrations because the oil needs to carry through steam rather than dissolve. Do not use shower steamers in a bath - the concentration will be too high.
