There are many different styles of steam showers available on the market for home use, and the newest innovations are better than anything you will find your local neighborhood gym. Having your own is certainly much cleaner than any you have used in public. There are many health benefits to having your own home steam shower besides the obvious benefit of being able to use it when ever you choose. Steam showers allow for improved circulation, the heat relieves stress and the steam alleviates excess mucus caused by colds, sinus infections, allergies, and asthma.
The act of sweating in a steam shower sheds the body of many toxins. When your body sweats the fluid you excrete helps to push toxins out through your open pores. This cleansing process is very important in maintaining good health. Some of the toxins sweating helps you rid yourself are smog, anti-perspirants, and synthetic clothing. Taking a steam shower regularly will keep your body in a healthier state.
Of the many different styles to choose from the most popular are the square, the rectangle and the semi oval, and the semi circle. The square steam shower offers the benefit of saving space. It can be placed against a wall or in a corner. Glass doors are always recommended for the square steam shower while the glass allows for a clear view of the outside of the shower, but it also helps to create an illusion of space.
The rectangular steam shower is the perfect solution if you choose to keep or incorporate your bath tub. Most people prefer having the choice of taking a bath or shower. The rectangular shape is also perfect for two people to use at one time. The rectangular shape allows enough room for two seats! The semi oval steam shower enclosure has two ends, much like the square ones, but the middle has one straight side and one curved side. This style of steam shower really maximizes the space you have available.
The half circle steam shower enclosure, also known as the D shape, has a flat side to go against the wall and the entire curved side over looks the rest of the room. Many people really like this style because it is so modern and stylish. Unfortunately, it does take up more space than all the other styles so it’s not used as often as the others. Steam showers can also be classified by their size.
You can order a single for personal use or you can order a double for two people to use at a time. Many are fully customizable and can be ordered in many different dimensions according to your specifications. Also available are free standing steam showers you can order to fit a designated space. Free standing steam showers offer many eye pleasing benefits from all sides!
For bathtub steam showers, most have massaging jets like a whirlpool bath. Other features that can be included in your steam shower are water temperature controllers, body jets, foot massagers and steam generator. Some models even include such luxuries as a phone connection, and various venues of music.
