We have a new Safe Step Walk-In Tub. They say not to use an oil based aromatherapy product. Can this product be used in our tub?

I wouldn't use it in the water because the solid pellets could clog the drain.

Yes. I use NOW brand Cheer Up Buttercup essential oil blend (which is mostly made up of citrus oils) in mine. No issues. I'm about to order another one right now. I love this item.

We do not recommend using any oil that is not designed as a lubricant. The best type that will not damage any novelties is anything water based. Thank you for shopping with us! ~Giggles World

Absolutely. We use these oils to our massage cream at our salon for aroma therapy during massage. :)

You're not supposed to use bath salts with this item. As far as I can tell, you're not supposed to with any of the small home foot baths like this. Sorry :(

I would not recommend it if you plan on drinking the water. Go to this site for specific guidance. There is a distinction between therapeutic essential oils which can be ingested. I do not believe this is one of those. I only use it for aromatherapy. http://www.livestrong.com/article/89536-essential-oils-safe-ingest/

You absolutely can! It's awesome to use oils in the bath. It's very soothing and cleansing. I've used these ones in the bath. And what's great is you don't need to use much oil. This brand in particular is very potent, in a good way, so they've lasted me a long time since I have to use less for the effect. Something I really love about them is on the label they give "common uses" of each oil. I know a decent amount about essential oils, but I've learned a lot more about other uses for them now. Very helpful. No matter what you use these for, I would almost guarantee that you won't be disappointed. Great quality at an insanely cheap price- so hard to find! You absolutely can!

Have not tried this unit. Megahome makes another unit specially designed for essential oils. It has a lower heat.

I pretty much use the same oils over and over. I do mix them at times by adding a new scent so I don't throw away the oils left in the bottom. I pour some water over the water all ready in my unit and put in some more oils and run it. You can mix oils if you want. I use only Young Living Oils as they are the safest oils you can by. The ones in the health stores are NOT pure oil, they have stabilizers in them and extenders. They can cause health problems. I use mine for my parrots and I have to be very careful. That is how I found out about the safety of Young Living oils. Don't get water on the front panel or your machine will stop working. Hope this helps.

This is a mixture of natural essential oils so yes, this is safe to use indoors.

I use Thieves Essential Oil in mine. I would think that a citrus oil would be fine. Oil is oil.....don't know if that helps.

I have never used it like that but have mixed it in with coconut oil to make a lotion and it works well with that...I would be cautious if using it in a bath due to "areas" that could be sensitive to the oils....

Essential oils are to be conbined with a "carrier" oil. like grapeseed oil which has no smell. You add the essential oil(s) to your liking and you use this for massage oil. Essential oils are thin (watery), yes all of them.

You can. 4 to 8 drops added to the water after you've filled the tub. Agitate the water. I added the oils to sweet almond oil, 2 tsp. I'm new to oils still and this was my first bath mix but I have been reading up on them. Do not bathe with photo toxic oils, Bergamot and citrus oils, please do a search yourself to check for others. P.S. Their lavender is fantastic! Used it undiluted on a burn for husband, never hurt. I also put 5 drops and 1 drop of Tea Tree on a tissue before bed and put it in my pillow case and sleep like a baby! Sorry I'm very excited about oils! Hope this helps.

Just because the FDA calls something safe, doesn't mean it is. Like most things, essential oils are safe unless you misuse them.

Salts are ok. Oil can make a messy emulsion but I sometimes put up to 10 DROPS of tea tree oil, not enough do mess up the solution but a small amount is a good fundicide for the tub (and I love the smell).

I have read that any basic oil would work but the fragrance additives etc. I would be more trusting of using mineral oil. I have used olive oil in the past as well but more expensive than mineral oil.
