Discover the Benefits of Aromatherapy in Every Shower
If you’ve ever wished for the calm of a spa while standing in your own shower — shower steamers might be your new self-care essential.
Simple to use and seriously soothing, these little aromatic pucks turn your daily rinse into a full-on wellness ritual. At Soothing Suds, we handcraft our shower steamers right here in Yorkshire, using natural essential oils and vegan, cruelty-free ingredients that deliver therapeutic vibes from the moment the water hits.
So, what exactly are shower steamers? And why are they suddenly everywhere?
Let’s dive in.
🌿 What Is a Shower Steamer?
A shower steamer (sometimes called a shower bomb or shower tablet) is a small, fizzy disc made with a blend of baking soda, citric acid, and essential oils. It’s like a bath bomb, but for your shower — releasing a cloud of therapeutic fragrance when activated by steam and water droplets.
Designed for those who don’t have time (or tubs) for long baths, shower steamers are a convenient way to enjoy aromatherapy during your regular routine.
Think of it as a mini spa session in your own home — no candles, no soaking required.
💧 How Do You Use a Shower Steamer?
Using one is effortless:
-
Place It Smartly: Pop the steamer on the floor of your shower — not directly under the water, but near the edge or in a soap holder.
-
Let It Activate: As the hot water runs, the steamer will fizz and release essential oils into the steam.
-
Breathe Deeply: Enjoy the gentle cloud of calming or energising fragrance for 7 to 10 minutes.
-
Reuse If Needed: If there’s any left, just set it aside for the next time.
Pro Tip: Use in a closed shower space for the best aromatherapy effect.
✨ What Are the Benefits of Shower Steamers?
Shower steamers aren’t just about smelling nice — they can seriously level up your mental and physical wellbeing:
-
Stress Relief: Scents like frankincense, rose geranium, and bergamot calm the mind after a long day.
-
Energy Boost: Peppermint, orange, and eucalyptus can clear your head and boost alertness.
-
Mood Support: Blends of grapefruit and rosemary may naturally lift your mood.
-
No Mess, No Fuss: No need for a bath or long prep — just drop and go.
And unlike candles or diffusers, the moisture in your shower carries the scent right to you. It's self-care, made easy.
