An adaptor for a shower includes a valve component having a threaded end for connection to a shower pipe and a first nipple for connection to a showerhead. A second nipple is provided for attachment thereto of a sauna-simulating steam/hot water mist. A diverter valve controls the flow alternatively between the showerhead and the steam spray attachment. The steam spray attachment includes a screen having openings of approximately 25 to 75 microns for breaking down a stream of flowing water into a steam-like mist of fine droplets and water vapor. The broken down stream of water is then sprayed through a nozzle opening, preferably providing a fan-shaped spray. The nozzle opening is of the size to accommodate a flow of about 0.2 to 0.4 gallons per minute.
