Yes, that is certainly possible! Adding aromas or essential oils your hot tub makes your bathing moment even more relaxing. Fragrances have been proven to have a positive effect on our well-being for centuries. They help to relax, provide energy, relieve cold symptoms or simply bring a nice atmosphere.
How do you use aromas in the hot tub?
- Add directly: Drop a few drops of essential oil into the water and stir it thoroughly with a paddle.
- Pre-mix: First mix the oil in a small bowl of hot water from the hot tub. This helps the oil to distribute and evaporate better.
- Mild and dosed: Always start with a few drops, and add more later if you want a stronger scent.
Extra tips
- Only use 100% natural oils. Artificial fragrances can be harmful to your skin or hot tub water.
- Avoid oils that leave fat residue. This can lead to contamination of the water or filter. That's why you should choose special sauna or hot tub flavors or highly soluble essential oils.
- Choose your scent based on mood:
- Lavender → relaxation and better sleep
- Eucalyptus → cold relief and fresh airways
- Citrus (orange, lemon) → energy and happiness
- Rosemary or mint → invigorating and stimulating
Be careful when using a filter
When your hot tub has a filter system if you have, only use oils that are soluble in water and are especially suitable for hot tubs. This prevents your filter from clogging or leaving oil deposits behind.
