Description of the invention ( 7) The heater switch and a thermostat 64 can control the maximum and minimum temperature in the treatment room 16 if necessary. The thermostat is responsive to a temperature detector in the treatment room 16. The partition plate 50 has a steam discharge opening 60 at a desired position for the steam to be discharged to the user's face. The steam discharge opening 60 is a shutter type and can be controlled, so the discharge opening can be blocked or turned to place steam at a selected location. It is similar to the outlet of air conditioners and heating ducts in automobiles. These traditional shutters are located at the discharge opening 60. As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the discharge port 60 having no shutters at the opening may be connected to the elastic duct 90 (one of which is shown in the figure), which is located at each discharge port or at only one discharge port 60. The elastic catheter 90 has a support ring 92 at its outer end, and its pivoting shutters 94 can be adjusted under normal circumstances. As shown in Fig. 7, the elastic duct 90 can be contracted or compressed, so that it does not protrude far from the partition plate 50 as shown. The catheter allows the user to extend out of the discharge port and move around, and the catheter 90 can be used to direct steam to the desired location for treatment variability. If necessary, the transparent duct or cover frame 57 can also direct steam to the user's face. The tail end of the duct is not closed and the steam from the discharge port 60 is guided at the inner end 57A, and then the steam flows to the user's face and is separated by the outer end 57B.
