A shower system for a shower having a water supply mechanism including a hot water supply and a cold water supply. The system includes: a shower stall; an air heating and delivery mechanism for heating and delivering hot air to the shower stall and including: an air inlet, air piping, an air supply blower to produce an air flow, an air heater, and a hot air outlet. The system further includes: a shower-water piping system including: a hot and cold water mixing valve; and a water fogger nozzle disposed within the hot air outlet to thereby produce a spray of hot air and water suspension; and an air and water temperature and flow controller.
