Steam inhaler

A steam inhaler comprising:

• a lower housing assembly including:
• a lower steam chamber housing having mounted therein a heater assembly, the lower steam chamber housing defining a lower steam chamber directly above the heater assembly;
• an upper housing assembly including:
• an upper steam chamber housing releasably mounted to the lower steam chamber housing, the connection of the upper steam chamber housing to the lower steam chamber housing allowing for the removal of the upper housing assembly from the lower housing assembly,
• a fitting mounted to the upper steam chamber housing, the fitting having a steam conduit section in communication with the lower steam chamber and an exterior vent opening, a nozzle conduit section extended from the steam conduit section and in communication with a steam nozzle, and a fresh air conduit section extended from the steam conduit section at a location downstream of the nozzle conduit section and in communication with an interior of the lower housing assembly, and
• a mask releasably fitted onto the steam nozzle,
• wherein the fitting is configured such that steam flows freely from the lower steam chamber through the steam conduit section toward the exterior vent opening, and at least a portion of steam is redirected to the steam nozzle conduit section by suction at the steam nozzle, and the fresh air conduit directs fresh air into the steam conduit section to reduce a temperature of the steam exiting the exterior vent opening;
• and
• a water reservoir removably mounted to the lower housing assembly, the water reservoir having a filter for filtering water to be delivered to the lower steam chamber.
