Title: Aroma Therapy??
Post by: Ronald5599 on April 30, 2006, 05:46:48 pm

I know I am jumping ahead, but my HS dealer (even though he has a nice display of aroma products) says he does not recommend placing any of these things in the tub as they are oily and will only gum up the filters. I was really looking forward to aroma stuff. Anybody have experiance with this sort of thing?

We have sold the Insparations aromatherapy scents for years and have no problems with them.  Some of our customers must use it every time they soak, from the amount they buy.  From what I've seen, there is no adverse effect from this brand of scents.  If you use too much your water may not be quite as clear as it would normally be.
I have had a few customers complain of scents stopping up their filters, but in every case it was with scents that they purchased elsewhere, so I don't know what brand gave the negative results.  I can only vouch for the ones we sell.

we've sold the Insparation for years, it's great in moderation.

I actually forget the actual product my HS dealer sells. However, thanks a lot for telling me (us) about the right product. This forum really does work.

Proteam makes a powder fragrance thats called Gentle Spa that was very popular.  Kind of a fresh talcomy smell not fruity.  Also helps prevent with dry skin.

I have sold InSpaRation and Being for years.

The Being is snooty: made from real extracts of real plants (no animals yet) and is supposed to elicit actual emotional responses. In other words, not only does it smell nice, but it is 'real arromatherapy' - YMMV.

Have heard that overdoing it will cloud the water, but never heard of any of them oiling up the filters.

Anyone heard of Chromotherapy? I thought it had to do with that visceral response some guys get when gazing upon the grill of a '57 Chevy, but I was wrong. OK, not wrong, but there is ANOTHER meaning: some of the tub makers who have color-changing lights are now hawking chromotherapy.

Whatever.

Most of the aromatherapy for spas is good stuff.  Insparations, Being, and Moments from BioGuard.  I think they take into account these are being used in spas, so they try to use stuff that won't mess up the water or filters.  I wouldn't overdo it though.

agreed.....we've used the InSparations line, and it calls for about 2 capfuls. Turns out that's enough in a 500 gallon tub to bring out a nice, mellow scent that lasts. :) Good luck!

Moderation, that's the key.

You guys are great. Again, thanks for all the info. It is amazing, I don't even have the tub yet but I have learned so much already.
