Abstract: A bathing system includes a vessel, an air blower, and a steam generator. The vessel comprises an inlet. The air blower is fluidly coupled to the inlet by a conduit, and is configured to provide a flow of air to the conduit. The steam generator is fluidly coupled to the conduit upstream of the inlet, and is configured to provide steam to the conduit to create a mixture of steam and air in the conduit. The air blower is further configured to direct the mixture of steam and air to the vessel.
