Congestion-Fighting Shower Steamers

The Herbal Zen Debuted the New Cold Kicker Shower Streamer

Herbal Zen, a wellness company specializing in hand-batched aromatherapy goods, recently expanded its portfolio with the introduction of the Cold Kicker Shower Steamers. The new product was designed to relieve the discomfort of head and chest congestion from colds, flu, and seasonal allergies. The tablets feature peppermint essential oil, eucalyptus essential oil, and menthol oil to mimic the effects of vapor rubs.

According to Herbal Zen, Shower Steamers are like "bath bombs but for the everyday shower." When the aromatherapy tablets get wet, they release essential oils into the air and enhance your shower experience.

To use, simply place the shower bomb on the shower floor, away from the drain. Take a few deep breaths as the tablet melts and releases its essential oils into the steam. Consumers can also drop a tablet in a bowl of hot water and inhale the essential oil-infused steam.
