In this economy it would seem that no one has any money to invest in luxuries. Yet, many home owners are deciding to invest in installing a steam shower in their house or apartment. While this may seem a risky prospect, it’s actually a good investment.

The average steam shower is going to cost between $1800 and $2500. More elaborate setups can run as much as $4000, but that’s only for larger sized stalls with entertainment consoles and other special features. This cost will easily be recouped by savings in water over time and the increased value of the home.

There are, of course, other benefits to having a steam shower in the home. The ability to relax and unwind in a private steam after a long day at work can be priceless. The recuperative powers of a steam after a run or other exercise is also well known — hence the number of health clubs that have steam rooms.

Steam has been proven to be an effective therapy for colds, allergies, asthma, and other sinus and respiratory conditions. Steam does great things to the skin and circulation and can help with detoxifying the body as well as easing stiff muscles and joints.

With all these health, leisure, and financial reasons, it’s easy to see the appeal of a home steam shower.

Well we did it, next week we will be getting our portable spa delivered to our condo. We bought this place about a year ago and took out time redoing everything: the kitichen, the dining room, bed room, guest room, office, master bed room and all the bath rooms. It was a lot of work and well worth it. It is so beautiful and so nice to come home to now. Now the only thing left to complete is the patio and landscaping.

On the patio I planted a lot of flowers and herbs over the summer, basil, thyme, rosemary, sage along with poppies, gladiolas, hibiscus and some different annuals. The garden is beautiful and a great place to relax at the end of the day. With the addition of a portable spa it will make the patio a paradise. I am imagining how wonderful it will be to be soaking in our own hot tub enjoying the beauty of this garden I created over the summer. After the spa is in place I will then plant the final touches to the patio. A fig and lemon tree. The placement of the fig tree will be so it casts shade on the hot tub in the summer and in the winter when the fig tree looses its leaves the sun will be able to shine on us in the tub. The lemon tree will be in the other corner where is will provide a screan from being able to see out neighbors. I am planting a lemon over there because the tree doesn’t loose its leaves and it will give us useful fruit.

Knowing the relaxing benefits of hydro therapy i could not be more excited to be getting this delivered. The stress and tension relief will be very welcomed addition to my daily routine.
