At Sage + Sound, we believe self-care doesn’t need to be elaborate or time-consuming. It just needs to be intentional. That’s why we’re seeing a powerful shift—people are turning their daily routines into meaningful rituals. One of the easiest places to start? Your shower. A few mindful tweaks can turn this everyday activity into something calming, restorative, and transformative.
Aromatherapy plays a huge role in this shift. Essential oils have long been used for their emotional and physical benefits, from stress relief to mental clarity. But let’s be real, many of us don’t have the luxury of taking long baths. That’s where shower steamers come in. They offer the therapeutic benefits of aromatherapy, without the time or mess of a soak. We’ve curated the Esker Shower Steamer because it’s the perfect way to transform your shower into a full sensory escape—quick, effective, and indulgent.
What Is An Esker Shower Steamer?
If you haven’t experienced an Esker Shower Steamer yet, you’re in for something special. Esker is a modern wellness brand built around plant-based ingredients, intentional design, and a deeper connection to the body. Their shower steamers are beautifully crafted to elevate your mood, clear your mind, and create a spa-like atmosphere in just minutes.
The concept is simple but brilliant. As you turn on the hot water and your bathroom fills with steam, the steamer begins to activate. It slowly dissolves and releases essential oils into the air, just enough to create a steady stream of scent without overwhelming the senses. We love how the experience feels, both grounding and luxurious.
Esker offers a range of thoughtfully blended scents to match your needs. Reach for eucalyptus when you want clarity and an open mind. Choose lavender for relaxation and a peaceful night’s sleep. Use rose when you need a little uplift or a dose of heart-centered calm. And if you need an energizing kickstart, peppermint is your go-to.
Everything is clean, vegan, and free from synthetic fragrances or harsh chemicals. Esker’s commitment to eco-conscious packaging also aligns with what we stand for at Sage + Sound—wellness that’s good for you and gentle on the planet.
Why Aromatherapy In The Shower Works?
We’ve all had those moments where a scent instantly shifts our mood—maybe it’s fresh citrus that wakes us up or calming lavender that melts away anxiety. Aromatherapy works because it taps directly into the part of the brain that controls emotions, memory, and even our stress response. Now imagine harnessing that power right in your shower.
With Esker shower steamers, you don’t need to carve out extra time or space for wellness. You can start your day with intention or end it with calm, all while doing something you were already going to do. Morning showers can become energizing rituals that sharpen your focus and prepare you for the day ahead. Evening showers can become the start of your wind-down routine, helping you shift out of fight-or-flight mode and into rest-and-digest.
The heat and humidity of the shower actually enhance the effects of essential oils. Steam helps the oils disperse more fully into the air, allowing you to inhale the therapeutic benefits more deeply. Whether you're managing stress, dealing with sinus pressure, or soothing tired muscles, a few deep breaths in the steam can go a long way. As wellness advocates, we love seeing people use small tools like this to create meaningful moments of care.
How To Use Esker Shower Steamers For The Best Results?
Getting the most out of your Esker steamer is all about placement and presence. Start by placing the steamer on the shower floor—ideally near the edge, where it will get a little splash but not a full water stream. You want a slow release of scent, not a sudden washout. If you prefer a stronger scent, move it closer to the direct spray. If you want something subtler, nudge it back.
To deepen the experience, we recommend layering your senses. Turn the lights down low, or better yet, light a candle. Put on a playlist that helps you tune in rather than zone out. As the steamer activates, breathe deeply—slow, intentional breaths through the nose and out through the mouth. This isn’t just a routine—it’s a reset.
You can take it even further by pairing the steamer with complementary products. We often recommend adding Esker’s body oils to your post-shower routine to lock in moisture and extend the aromatherapy benefits. Or use a dry brush before your shower to stimulate lymphatic flow and enhance circulation. These small touches turn your bathroom into a spa and your shower into a full ritual.
