Can you have a chlorine & bromine FREE Hot Tub ??
The answer is YES and we have been doing it for almost a decade now!
Imagine soaking in a hot tub, letting all your stress melt away, only to find out that the high temperatures are not just relaxing your muscles but also opening your pores to harmful chemicals like chlorine or bromine and other products you purchase from the hot tub store. These toxic products can irritate your skin, eyes, and respiratory system. It's alarming to think that up to 80% of hot tub users experience some form of adverse reaction, such as red, irritated eyes, itchy dry skin, rashes, or a burning sensation in the nose or lungs. Even more concerning is the fact that these chemicals can be absorbed through your skin, leading to a build-up in your body over time—a process known as bio-accumulation (Google it)
**Question **
If your bathing suit breaks down after being in your hot tub filled with these chemicals, what do you think they are doing to your internal organs?
So, what can you do to protect your health while enjoying the benefits of a warm, relaxing soak?
You can use all-natural Young Living Products like Thieves Household Cleaner and essential oils, as well as Enzymes from The Natural Solution.
We purchased our hot tub in Feb 2016 and it has been running 24/7 all year for over 8 years now. We had only had to replace one pump in that time and it still looks brand new. The repair technician was surprised at how clean the piping was and could not believe it was as old as it was. Plus, our day-to-day maintenance costs are much less than those who use harsh chemicals. And we spend so much less time measuring and testing.
We had very hard water and had no hard water build-up at all. At first, we were worried we would have build-up in the pipes and ruin our tub so we started using the stain and scale products. But these toxic products made the water worse and caused build-up. Once we stopped using those products our water has been clear, smells great, and feels great on the skin.
Using natural products in your hot tub can enhance your relaxation experience while ensuring a safe environment, especially for children.
I should note that I had a chemical hot tub in 2009 for about 9 months. It was so much more time-consuming and more costly to look after. Especially if you are using regular toxin-based laundry detergent. It will throw your chemicals off a lot. Then if drinks get spilled in the tub that will through off your balance too. With a chemical-free tub, you can avoid all of the hassle.

Our hot tub routine:
We use 1-2 capfuls of thieves cleaner every week or two depending on how much we have been in it. By we, I mean the grandchildren LOL. Let it circulate for about 15 -20 minutes, then scoop out the foam residue and wipe down the edges of the tub.
We add 1 bottle of the enzymes from The Natural Solution line every 3 months.
We add 6 drops of geranium essential oil plus 6-8 drops of other oils of your choosing such as Wintergreen, Ylang Ylang, Deep Relief, etc to 1-2 cup Epsom salts each time we get in. The salts work as an emulsifier, helping the oils to disperse evenly throughout the water. This ensures that you enjoy the full therapeutic benefits of the essential oils as you soak. Epsom Salt also helps soften the water. Plus, the minerals in Epsom salts further support relaxation and muscle relief, making it a perfect duo for your relaxation!
To clean the filters - Hose down the filter with a high-pressure hose and then soak it overnight in the thieves/water mix. Use a large container and fill it with warm water plus 1 cap of Thieves household cleaner. Hose it down again and it is ready to put back in. You can alternate with 2 filters. We have also put our filters in the dishwasher with Thieves Household Cleaner and Vinegar to give them a good clean.

The Dirt on Spring Cleaning + Products
WHAT ARE YOU CLEANING WITH?
Ahhh! Open those windows and breathe in that fresh spring air! Spring is here, which means it’s time to start thinking about our spring cleaning checklists. There’s just something about the nice weather that brings on motivation for a fresh start. So let’s get to it! But wait, before you reach for those cleaners and get to work, let’s do a little digging into those ingredients, shall we?
Did you know? In 2000, cleaning products were responsible for nearly 10% of all toxic exposures reported to U.S. Poison Control Centers, accounting for 206,636 calls. Of these, 120,434 exposures involved children under six who can swallow or spill cleaners stored or left open inside the home. With no federal regulations on ingredients in household products, the only way we can protect our families is to learn how to read labels ourselves.
Let’s take a look at the top 4 ingredients to avoid and why.

This is one home remedy I have been using in our home for years now and I share it with friends and family any chance I get. Detox baths are very useful at this time of year. But because the benefits are many, I would suggest doing them regularly all year long. If someone is getting sick a detox bath is a MUST!! Make sure you hydrate well before and after!
WHY should you take Detox baths?

A 2009 study found significant improvement in retraining smell by taking deep sniffs of known aromas in 4 different categories for 10 seconds each twice a day for at least 12 weeks.
What's the cause?
There are a few things to look into with your doctor, but it's most likely because the cells in the olfactory bulb (responsible for smell recognition) have been damaged by a microorganism due to a respiratory illness!
Read more on how can you help cleanse your olfactory bulb and stimulate it to smell again!!
