WHY SCENT MATTERS: THE LINK BETWEEN AROMATHERAPY AND MOOD
Smell is powerful. When you breathe in essential oils, scent molecules travel through your nose to the limbic system—the part of your brain that processes emotions and memories. That’s why the right scent can calm you down or lift you up almost instantly.Floral oils like lavender and geranium are known to ease tension. Citrus scents such as orange and grapefruit are bright and energising. Earthy and herbal notes like eucalyptus or cedarwood help clear the mind and ground the body.
Studies show that oils like lavender can reduce cortisol (the stress hormone), while citrus oils may help boost alertness. It’s not just about smelling nice—it’s about supporting how you feel.
CHOOSING A SHOWER STEAMER BY MOOD
What do you need right now—more energy, a clearer head, or some peace and quiet? Here’s a simple guide to help you choose:
- For Stress Relief and Sleep - Try blends with rose geranium, clary sage, lavender, cedarwood, or lemon verbena. These oils are great for winding down after a long day.
- For Mental Clarity and Focus - Lemongrass and bergamot can help clear mental fog and sharpen your thinking, whether it's morning or midday.
- For Energy and Uplift - Orange, cypress, grapefruit, and lime bring a bright, sunny lift—perfect when you need a bit more motivation.
- For Recovery or Congestion - Peppermint, eucalyptus, and ravensara are refreshing and great if you’re feeling stuffy, sluggish, or post-workout sore.
BUILDING A SIMPLE MOOD RITUAL
Shower steamers are easy to use, but adding a bit of mindfulness makes the experience even better:
Place the steamer on the shower floor, away from direct water. As the scent starts to rise, take a few slow, deep breaths. Pause. Notice how your body feels. Give yourself permission to do nothing for a moment.
These little pauses can help you feel more grounded, even on busy days.

WHY OUR STEAMERS ARE DIFFERENT
We make our steamers by hand in small batches to keep them fresh and effective. Each one is infused with 100 percent pure essential oils—no synthetic scents. And because we care about the planet, we use biodegradable wraps and recyclable packaging.
Blends like Serenity, Tranquility, and Clarity are some of our most loved. They’ve become part of many customers’ daily routines for a reason.
FAQs
How do shower steamers work?
They react with water to release essential oils into the steam. You breathe them in, and they can help calm, energise, or refocus you.
Are shower steamers the same as bath bombs?
Not quite. Steamers are made for the shower and are meant for inhalation. Don’t use them in the bath or directly on your skin.
