Essential oils, with their varied scents, invigorate or calm, but in any case have a relaxing effect on body and soul. This has been known for thousands of years. Aromatherapy and hot tubs also go wonderfully together. We'll show you how: use your favourite scents for relaxing, sensual fun in your hot tub.
The history of aromatherapy
The roots of aromatherapy go back to antiquity. As early as ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, aromatic plant extracts were used for religious ceremonies and medicinal purposes. Later, the Greeks and Romans took up this tradition and expanded on it.
In the early 20th century, the French chemist René-Maurice Gattefossé coined the term "aromatherapy" and described the healing properties of essential oils. He has since been regarded as the father of aromatherapy, and his research laid the foundation for modern practice.
Today, aroma therapy is valued worldwide as a complementary therapy that uses essential oils to promote physical and mental well-being. Its use in combination with hydrotherapy, for example in hot tubs, offers a particularly intense relaxation experience.
Aromatherapy in the hot tub
Calming or stimulating fragrances relieve physical and mental tension when inhaled. This kind of scent therapy combines ideally with hydrotherapy. Aromatherapy can therefore also be used in the hot tub.
Here's how it works
Thanks to the bubbling hot tub water, the essences have an even stronger and surprisingly rapid effect. After a hectic day, you can unwind breath by breath in the warm water and switch off wonderfully. There are two options for aromatherapy in the hot tub:
On the one hand, liquid aromas can be added to the hot tub water. Please note: only use products that are explicitly intended for use in hot tubs. You can find them in our online shop. Unsuitable fragrances can cause serious deposits in the hot tub system and damage the unit.
On the other hand, there are special aroma or scent inserts for the hot tub's air system. Here the aroma is released through the air jets. This is built into the Rhodium and Titanium models. The big advantage is that no aroma residue remains once the air jets are switched off. This form of aromatherapy only works if the hot tub is equipped with a suitable aroma system.
