The field of disclosure generally relates to steaming station that uses hot liquids and steam/vapor to help the user mitigate breathing complications such as asthma, congestion, and other similar conditions.
Steam has been known to help soothe and treat acute and chronic breathing conditions, including nasal congestion, sore throat, allergies, asthma, and many others.
The following summary presents some concepts in the disclosure in a simplified manner as a prelude to the more detailed description provided below. Aspects of the present disclosure relate to an ergonomic steaming station.
In one aspect, the steaming station may include an enclosed inside cavity capable of holding a concave bowl filled with hot liquid.
In one aspect, the steaming station may include a hinged lid with a circular opening for the user to place their face on.
In one aspect, the steaming station may include two wedges on the underside of the steaming station, which place the steaming station at an angle between 25 and 32 degrees from a support surface.
In one aspect, the steaming station may include a terry cloth pillow that is to be placed on top of the lid of the steaming station.
In one aspect, the steaming station may include a set of handles on two opposing sides of the steaming station for easy transport.
In one aspect, the steaming station may include the use of herbs and oils or medicinal extracts to be placed on the bowl that holds the liquids.
In one aspect, the steaming station may include an incline angle at 28 degrees from a support surface.
In another aspect, the steaming station may include incline angle at 28.072 degrees from a support surface.
In another aspect, the steaming station may include a water-resistance resin on the interior surfaces and exterior surfaces.
In another aspect, an ergonomic steaming station may include a bowl with hot liquid and optional medicinal herbs placed in a box-shaped container with a hinged lid, so as to emit a vapor or steam from an enclosed space to an opening to help the user mitigate breathing complications such as asthma, congestion, and other similar conditions.
The foregoing summary as well as the following detailed description, considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a better understanding of the disclosure, in which like reference numbers refer to like element.

In some constructions, the steaming station 100 which includes back wall 215 that encloses the box inside cavity 120, as well as the right-side wall 125, and the left side wall 130; left and right ergonomic wedges 140, 135 can be made of a wood material, a wood panel or a plastic material. In other constructions, the station 100 could be made of a plastic material and molded into the various shapes. In one construction, the left and right ergonomic wedges 140, 135 may be integrated with the right-side wall 125, and the left side wall 130, respectively, to form unitary components for the right side and left side. In another construction, ergonomic wedges 135, 145, 200 may form a unitary component or platform in which the box form 105, 125, 130 provided thereon. In another construction, the inside cavity 120 surfaces in the box interior and bottom surface of the lid 110 may be sealed with a water-resistant resin to ensure that the steam reliably exits the station through the facial cavity 115. In another construction, the box exterior surface may be sealed with a water-resistant resin. One type of water-resistant resin may be a phenol resin used on plywood or a phenol film for an overlay on plywood. In one construction, the steaming station 100 may include a set of handles on two opposing sides of the steaming station for easy transport.
Aspects of the technology of the present disclosure provides for an ergonomically designed steaming station 100 providing a user with the benefits of steam produced by hot liquids placed inside the steaming station 100, such hot liquids may be mixed with medicines or herbs. The steaming station 100 may include a hinged lid 110 that allows the user to place a concave bowl with hot liquids within the inside cavity. In operation, once the steaming station is closed with hot liquids and medicinal herbs, the user can then kneel or sit with the steaming station 100 in front of them and place their face onto the rounded cavity of the lid to receive the benefits of the steam for extended periods of time.
While the system and methods have been described with reference to exemplary embodiments and constructions, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
