Comfortably seated, eyes closed, the music washes over you as you feel your every cell opening, releasing toxins and cleansing away all signs of stress and tension. The fragrant scent of lavender envelopes you and you are truly relaxed…Sound good? This is what Mr. Steam is all about. A little history...Steam bathing has been around for centuries, as far back as ancient Rome and Greece. The history of the Roman bath actually began during the height of the Roman Empire. Ancient Roman baths served many community and social functions. Everyone used Roman public baths, regardless of status. Eventually the home spa system was introduced transforming the experience from one of community into an intimate restorative experience customized to your needs.And then came Arthur...Arthur Sussman founded Automatic Steam Corporation in 1917. In the early days, steam technology was used for ironing garments and even for creating steam boilers used in US Navy frigates. This company evolved into Mr. Steam, maker of the world's most luxurious steam showers and steam baths for the home and for the spa. The Mr. Steam experience encompasses the therapeutic benefits of Chromasteam (colored lights), Aromasteam (aroma therapy) and Audiosteam (music). It’s all digitally controlled. If you’re in the kitchen and just starting to think about having a steam you can make that thought a reality with the touch of a button on the iGenie remote control!The guiding principle in all things Mr. Steam is “Feel Good” and you have to love a company with a sense of humor to boot! Check out this brilliant commercial! Not only does it feel good but I was amazed to learn how much “steaming” can benefit your health! We know that steam is great for muscles, sinuses, asthma and skin hydration but did you know that, on average you can burn up to 150 calories in a 15 minute session at 114 degrees Fahrenheit?We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Steam Vice President Martha Orellana on the Modenus Blog Tour and I think you can say she is a testament to the benefits of steaming. She steams everyday and just look at that complexion! Can you believe she’s 87? (just kidding, I don’t know how old she is but she looks great)I know you’re thinking, “how can I have this magic in my bathroom?” You can integrate a steam generator in an existing shower stall. Smaller units that fit inside your bathroom vanity are available. You can pick and choose the sensory features you want as well as a wall mounted folding teak seat and a variety of towel warmers.
