Essentially what happens is that steam creates a "wet heat", both of which increase the curing speed of the concrete. The moisture speeds up the hydration process, whereas the heat increase the growth rate of the cement "crystals", leading to better adhesion to the aggregate and a faster early setting time and strength.

You should try breathing through your nose while you are doing this, and it should melt the mucus so the extent that it can be blown out.
