Hippie Smoke aka Spirit of Patchouli - Aromatherapy Shower Steamers

Shower steamers are like bath bombs, but for people who don’t have time to sit around in a tub. Pop one in your shower, let it fizz, and enjoy a spa-like aroma session while you pretend you're at a luxury retreat. Curious? Read more here!

Method 1: Place the steamer tablet or a segment of it on the shower floor away from the direct shower stream. Let water splashes from your showering activate the tablet, that will release the oils and vapor into the air. The heat and steam will carry it upwards for you to breathe in.

Method 2: Put a segment or a steamer in a bowl (not aluminium or plastic they react with essential oils). Get in the shower and add some water to the bowl and let the steamer dissolve. You can either place the bowl at head level or on a ledge (as close to your face as you can) or you could splash the water on the shower wall of glass, above head high and let it drip down. The surface wall area and the heat from the shower helps to disperse the essential oils in the air for you to breathe in.

Method 3: put the steamer or a part of it in an organza bag and hang it to the shower head or on a shower basket at head height. Splash some water on the steamer to activate it. Note: please do not let steamer mix drip on your skin.

Method 4: while in the shower grab a shower segment, wet it and draw with it on the wall or glass, leaving steamer residues that can be easily cleaned at the end of shower.

Do you prefer another method? Let us know so we can try it too!!

DO NOT USE AS A BATH BOMB or directly on the skin: Contains high concentration of essential oils. Also most of them are made with menthol

NOTE: Please use within 3 months from purchase.

For most part all stammers will snap just by applying a bit of pressure either side while holding in your hands. Just like snapping a chocolate bar just thicker.

However, from time to time some tablets are more stubborn than others. In that case I like to get a rolling pin or a hammer out.

Wrap the naked steamer in a towel and give it a wack, then wrap the broken pieces back in the bag to keep them fresh.

Keep wrapped in a dry, dark place away from UV lights and humidity before use. Essential Oils can be affected by the sunlight or evaporate if not properly stored.

For best aromatherapy experience Use within 3 months from purchase.

The effect of the steamer also depends on the type of shower you have.

The effect of shower steamers is best when the shower type is enclosed, similar to a shower cabin. As all the steam is trapped inside and gets stronger as you shower.

An open plan shower lets most of the steam escape the immediate area hence the essential oils travel away from you and the effect is not as strong. In this case we recommend putting the steamer into a ceramic bowl (not plastic or aluminium as the essential oil react to it) and place it on the ledge or a wall niche or somewhere closer to your face. You may have to experiment to get it right. By using a bowl you are trapping the oils and not letting them drain away too fast. You can leave the bowl in the shower for couple of days after as an air freshener.
