A first chamber is defined between the mount and the cover, and a second chamber is defined between the mount and the lid. A first through hole in communication with the water outlet is formed on the mount. The power supply mechanism is electrically coupled with the conductive portion of the body, and can generate a current, and introduce the current into water flow to be conducted to a human body through the water flow.
Another aspect of the present disclosure provides a micro-current therapy, including:
providing current to a shower head;
