ABSTRACT:
A steaming device for skin treatment includes a base, having an upper and lower surface, the base including a reservoir for water and a non-corrodible conductance element which is defined by two side-by-side vertically positioned electrodes which extend a part of the height of the reservoir. The electrodes diverge from each other as they approach the bottom of the bottom of the base to reduce current flow between them, this compensating for increased conductivity due to mineralization of the water near the bottom of the reservoir that occurs with vaporization and which mineralization would otherwise increase voltage between electrodes to a hazardous level. The device further includes a top portion including an upper and a lower area, and a container for therapeutic substances to be mingled with steam produced by the effect of the conductance element on the water. The device also includes an arm having a proximal and distal end, and hollow interior, in which the arm communicates with the top portion at the arm's proximal end and in which the arm includes an expulsory aperture enabling steam to escape at the distal end of the arm.
