HOT TUBS

(Richard & Shauna Dastrup Archival Information)

Here is everything that I have collected on Hot Tubs,
Phillipa.

Here is a ‘collection of posts’ we have communicated.

We have experimented now over 3 years in using oils instead of chemicals.
What Michelle has written on pH is correct. It took us a year to figure out that an Ash product is needed to the spa to reduce the pH. (Oils increase the pH…..therefore in our minds we must do all we can to balance this). We found when the water was ‘cloudy’ the pH was to high.

We have not used chorine or bromine in over 3 years.

To our knowledge there is no information (studies) other than ‘people’ experimenting.

We decided about 5 1/2 years ago to take responsibility for ourselves and not to be afraid of experimenting. And that is what we have done and still do today.

Enjoy your hot tubs and experiment.

All of us need to remember this:

“Every person is different and reacts differently to different oils and oil supplements. It would be difficult…in fact impossible to say what will definitely work for an individual, only what has worked for oneself. Just experimenting is what will give you the best indication for you.”

**********************
John and Dori ask:

I read your letter regarding Geranium Oil. My wife and I are also concerned about the Bromine in the hot tub. Are you still using Bromine to kill bacteria or does the oil purify the tub? You stated that the oil neutralizes the Bromine. Do you put the oil in just when you are getting in the tub?

Thanks for the information,

John and Dori Thorngren

Using oils in Hot tubs:

Here are a collection of posts we have communicated. They should help you with your questions. Yes we are using many different oils…always experimenting.

Rich and Shauna

Post # 1
We were introduced to Young Living Essential Oils almost 6 years ago. At that time ‘ignorance’ prevailed in our lives when it came to ‘health, doctors, prescriptions, chemicals, and HOT TUBS. We, like most people, used the ‘things’ we were told we were supposed to use in all areas of our lives.

Then something happened, our daughter in laws grandparents gave us a ‘Missing Link’ tape which has made a profound effect on our lives.

As we learned and used and also not afraid of experimenting we found we had a ‘killer’ living with us called a HOT TUB…..with lots of chemicals, which were helping to contribute to our already poor physical health.

So what to do? Talked to Gary about 4 years ago and he ‘that scared the heck out of us’…….we quit using our HOT TUB!

But, the last 3 years we smartened up and ‘experimented’ and this is what we learned.

Our tub holds 300 gallons of water…..we used the quote ‘prescribed’ chemicals and had it ‘balanced’……so it is safe ‘to modern man’ to use.
Then, we added 12 drops of Young Living Essential Oil Geranium and run the spa for 30 minutes. Then re-tested an hour later…..guess what? The Bromine and Chlorine on the tester strip was white, indicating the Bromine and Chlorine disappeared. But the ALKALINITY AND pH where holding just fine.
Wonder what happened to the Bromine and Chlorine? We would guess that it was ‘neutralized’ or ‘eaten’ by the Geranium .

We have done this over and over and it keeps on doing the same thing.

A year ago last June we started traveling in our Motor home to ‘teach’ and hold ‘workshops’ with our Young Living Distributors and we decided to experiment a little more with our HOT TUB not being used and see if it would hold itself without adding chemicals or oils.

Each time we left, we would add about 12 drops of YL Geranium Oil, run it for a few minutes, and turn the heat down (not off) down. Each time we returned, the longest being 6 months, we wondered what kind of a ’scum’ we would come home and find. But, each time we came home, including yesterday……having been gone from home over 6 months, the water was ‘crystal clear’. WOW!

Prior to our experimenting, just using ‘proper’ chemicals recommended by the Hot tub dealer, if the spa was not ‘maintained’ on a ‘regular’ basis, we came back to a real mess.

Last night, we drained our HOT TUB, clean it and filled it with ‘pure water’. Cleaned the 3 big filters and soaked them in Thieves Oil (about 15 drops) and water for about 3 hours. Added 12 drops of Geranium Oil and then got in this morning using the new Aqua Essence – Bath Pack of Sacred Mountain code # 3403. Now this is the way to enjoy a ‘REAL’ Hot tub.

It is wonderful to get out of the Hot tub not smelling of chlorine and itching.
It is even more wonderful to use the oils and the Aqua Essences knowing full well we are ‘helping’ our bodies maintain health rather than compromising them.

We choose to share this and get the word out. People, do not be afraid of experimenting and using Young Living Therapeutic Essential Oils to protect yourselves and get chemicals out of your lives.

As we continue to experiment with our Hot Tub use we will share what we learn.

To be continued….

Hot tub update:

We have learned by experimenting. We use absolutely no bromine or chlorine.
We do use other oils and Aqua Essence bath packs . It is important to not let
the pH go to high…..oils we are finding make the pH go up….so watch that
you use an ‘ash’ product to bring pH down. We use a product called Spa
Down ….it is Sodium Bisulfate (SBS). It is a nonhazardous chemical. We
wished we didn’t have to use it……but it is doing the job…..the main thing is we use no chorine or bromine

Just keep testing and playing…..you will figure it out.

Post # 3
Hiroko asks the following question. A good one too!

…Do you know if EO (such as lemon, peppermint, grapefruit oils) can
eliminate/digest Chlorine in tap water? I heard that EO can digest
chemicals in water, but I’m not sure if it includes chlorine…

Our answer:

Fill a glass of tap water add some ice if you prefer and put 3 drops of lemon . Watch and see what happens in a few minutes. Oh, when you drink the water use a straw so you don’t drink the ‘gunk’ that has collected on the glass at the top.

This will open your eyes….we do this to show how ‘chemicals’ are in our water and to our ‘feeble knowledge EO’s digests them….plus kills the bacteria and anything else that is in the water.

We never have a glass of water ‘distilled’ or not, without putting a couple of drops EO’s and using a straw. Works great too for a ‘marketing’ tool when eating out in a restaurant. We leave our bottle of lemon oil sitting on the table and we make sure the waitress sees what we do. Interesting the conversations we have and how many ’sharing packages’ we can give away. You now….show….tell….give….leave.

Also we have a ‘hot tub’ we use no chlorine….we use only Essential Oils. Been doing this for 3 years. Before then, we used chlorine (Bromine) to help keep the pH right…..but the more we learned about how harmful these chemicals are we chose to not use the ‘hot tub’ anymore. Then a ‘light’ went off in our heads….why not use the oils. Our hot tub had chlorine in it and the pH was just right. We experimented and put about 10 drops of YL’s geranium in it….let it run a little while….then checked the pH again and it showed ok….EXCEPT….it showed no Chlorine/Bromine. We were shocked!
The oils had digested the chemical. This experiment taught us that EO’s do
digest chlorine. So for the last 3+ years we have enjoyed our hot tub with
EO’s…. and also using the Aqua Essence Bath Pack in the Spa…..wonderful….smells great….and chemical free!
You are right….EO’s digest Chemicals!

Post # 4

To: Richard and Shauna

Great. Thank you so much for your quick response.
I have to tell you… We do have a hot tub and my husband bought over $70.00 worth of chemicals to keep the water clean…because HE WAS TOLD BY THE STORE CLARK HE NEEDED ALL TO KEEP THE WATER CLEAN.

When my husband asked the store Clark to see if we can use essential oils (he doesn’t know much about the oils yet at that time), she said “NO, that can destroy the tub”. So, he asked me NOT to put any oils in the tub…(that was before I received one testimonial with hot tub over a couple of months ago).

Anyway, I’m the one who mostly use the hot tub lately and I didn’t use ANY of the chemicals he bought. I normally put 10 drops of

Purification and I put some Thieves over my chest before I get in. {I just got Geranium , so I can’t wait to try this one.)

Well, my husband who hadn’t got in the hot tub since last August (and who didn’t know that I didn’t use any chemicals and I’ve been using ONLY

Purification and Thieves oils to keep the water clean), joined me in the tub the other day and said “Wow. Water is so clean and smells nice.” [When we used to use the chemicals ONLY in the past, we had to put chemicals every single time and for some reason, water was NOT clear all the time and it left some chemical or bad water smell.] Then, I had to reveal my SECRET. He was pretty amazed… Oils contain Ozone and Negative Ion, they are highly anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-infectious, so I knew these are POWERFUL enough to keep the water clean.

Purification is $14.00. Geranium is $22.00. He spent over $70.00 for chemicals?
Do we really think oils are expensive? My answer is NO!

Happy Oiling!
Hiroko

Dear Frank and Sara,
When I first got information about using

geranium and thieves to keep my hot tub sparkle-clean, and safe, we had the same problem, until we got information to continue to check pH levels and adjust for that.
(”Spa-Down ” is really just baking soda from what I understand.)
Since making that adjustment our spa does indeed stay cleaner than ever. We do put oils in it whenever we use it too. Sometimes we use the single or blends, sometimes the aquaessence bath packs . Not only does it make the spa area smell fantastic, but it also continues to condition the water. Don’t give up! It took my husband and I about 3 weeks to get it all straightened out.

Sincerely,
Michelle

Dear Frank

Since reading on the list about

Geranium in hot tubs I did try it, and with good results. My Hot tub has an ozonater (sp?) unit and have prior to using Geranium oil used very little chemicals. Regular change of water, cleaning out filter is very important.

I found when we are the only ones using the hot tub we keep a clean tub.

Making sure people have a shower before using hot tub, to clean off body lotions and such, it may also help if the bathing suits are rinsed a couple of times before drying as they seem to keep residue from washing in the fabric.
As for the fiberglass becoming rough in texture this is not happening in my tub.
I do hope this helps. Any more info needed feel free to contact me off list.

Hello Jackie,
I have used with great success a packet of

Valor Aqua Essence which I just
let float in my tub all the time. The outside of the packet gets slimy … which I clean off periodically … but this works well. Additionally, I add a bit of “Spa-UP“ to raise the pH every couple weeks depending on how much we use it.
When we get into the tub, I then use my precious JOY Aqua Essence packet just for the time we are in there. I suspect all of the AE pkts. work equally well. I’m trying Sacred Mountain this next time. You know, these sound expensive initially, but are actually very good value for the money in their re-use capacities. The H2Oils last even longer!
Best regards,
Lynn Cameron

******************************
Hi Sally,
Our hot tub does really well with just the oils and the use of

spa down . When we started fresh, we emptied our tub and soaked the filter in water with Thieves oil in it. Every spot in the tub gets washed down once it’s empty. After everything is wiped down, I go over the enter tub with lemon water.
We then fill the tub, drop in 20 drops (450 gallon tub) of Geranium in. Then EVERY TIME we use the tub we choose an oil to add to the water (5 – 8 drops) Most of the time we just choose this oil based on what we want to smell. We use our tub often and we have found this works out very well for us.
Now having said that, since every tub is different and made with different materials, please make sure the oils will not break down the materials your tub is constructed with. Also note that the water here is probably vastly different than yours. When we first transitioned from chemicals to oils in our tub it took us while to adjust the oils to just give us what felt good and smelt good while keeping critters from growing.
Also, be very aware of what you are introducing to the tub when you get into it. Is there soap/chemicals in your suits? What lotion, conditioners, perfumes and so on are going into the tub? We make sure before we go into our tub, or before anyone else goes in that their suit is completely rinsed out, and that they have showered off any residue. No point added what need not be there to begin with.
Your body will appreciate the effort once it experiences the difference between soaking in chemicals versus soaking in the oils.

Good Luck,
Michelle

NAUSEA, AIDS

Here is an awesome testimony from Kimberly

Thanks you so much in sharing. Nancy (Sanderson)

Keep the oil away from the eyes as it will sting if it gets in to the eye. Also, wet skin makes the oil penetrate more quickly and deeply, and may make it sting where it doesn’t on dry skin, like under the arm pits. I have found that the Thieves oil has only ever helped me but the stinging on sensitive skin areas can be unpleasant, so be careful.
