You may be someone who has enjoyed the pleasures of aromatherapy or spending some time in your hot tub. But what if you want both? Now’s a great time to combine both pleasures, as well as the therapeutic benefits they both possess.

Therapeutic Benefits of Aromatherapy

Many people believe that aromatherapy can provide many benefits for an individual’s wellbeing. It focuses on treating the mind, body, and spirit. Aromatherapy works as a result of the pleasant scents emitted by various natural oils, and many supporters of this natural treatment claim that there are also benefits to the oil’s contact with the skin.

The essential oils are derived from many different plant species, and create a feel-good sensation that starts the relaxation process. There are many types of oils which each create unique and pleasant experiences for different lifestyle needs.

Therapeutic Benefits of Hot Tubs

The hot tub’s warm, soothing water provides a relaxing and pleasant sensation for the user. Due to the sense of buoyancy it creates, it helps the body to fully relax. As it does so, stress leaves the joints and muscles which begin to be soothed. The heat also helps to increase circulation in the body, aiding it in its healing and rejuvenation processes.

The Combination of Hot Tubs and Aromatherapy

Both hot tubs and aromatherapy have their own distinct methods of creating an overall sense of wellbeing. These benefits can be taken a step further by combining them. You may choose to purchase a variety of aromatherapy oils for specific purposes to use while in the hot tub. For example, chamomile essential oil is known to assist those with insomnia or headaches. With lots of essential oils to choose from, you really can customize your experience!

It’s very important that you use only high-quality essential oils that have been specifically formulated for hot tub use, and use them properly in order for them to retain their benefits. Using regular oils may not be safe for direct contact with the skin or could damage the hot tub, so make sure you find oils for this purpose and you’ll be well on your way to reaping the therapeutic benefits of hot tub aromatherapy!
