Relaxing in your hot tub can be a divine experience.

The softly bubbling water lures you to relax and listen. You also feel the massage effect of the jets on the skin as your muscles begin to release the accumulated tension. Your sense of smell is going to immerse you further into this peaceful escape. By incorporating the benefits of aromatherapy–soothing scents with possible therapeutic effects–into your daily soak, you can add another sensory dimension to your hot tub experience.

However, take care. Do not trade the stress relief you get from a relaxing, aromatic soak in your hot tub for stress caused by the use of essential oils that aren’t properly selected. You need to be careful when using aromatherapy in your hot bathtub. But if you use the right products, it is much easier than you might imagine.
