If you’ve been keeping up with the latest trends, you may have heard about essential oils. People use essential oils to promote their health.
Essential oils are oils derived from various plants like lavender, lemon grass, bergamot, and eucalyptus.
You may have seen the most common way to use essential oils is by rubbing them on your skin or diffusing them in the air. You may have also heard it’s possible to use essential oils in your hot tub.
However, there are some things you should know before putting them in your tub.
Essential Oils In A Hot Tub
You can not put essential oils in your hot tub. Though, it’s important to know that you can purchase aromatherapy products that are designed for hot tub use. The essential oils you see in health shops or the supermarket can clog the filters of your hot tub like the oil on your skin.
If you take good care of your tub, you know that your hot tub needs to be cleaned every so often to rid it of the oil that comes from your skin. Oils from your skin and supermarket essential oils can cause quite a bit of harm to your tub.
Instead of supermarket or health shop oils, you need to use aromatherapy products that are designed for hot tub use. These products are made from materials that go through the filtration system with ease and without creating any blockages. This means you won’t need to worry about cleaning your tub or replacing the filter after use.
Enjoying Hot Tub Aromatherapy
Once you have your spa-friendly aromatherapy scents, you may be wondering how to use them in your tub. The product you buy should come with instructions for safe use. If your product doesn’t, it’s best to use caution and only use a small amount at a time.
When you use these products, it’s also necessary to give your hot tub a break. Try to avoid using aromatherapy products in your tub every single day. Instead, try to save them for special occasions or really stressful days.
Some hot tub scents you may enjoy can include:
- Lavender
- Citrus
- Rose
- Ylang-Ylang
- Eucalyptus
These products are generally available in a liquid, salt, or bath bomb form.
