How Hot Tubs Can Help De-Stress Teenagers  

Moodiness, relationship drama, teenage angst, and school pressures…phew! One thing’s for sure: being a teen is not easy. This is why as parents we are always looking for and longing for ways to help alleviate some of that pressure and better connect with our teens. At Orange County Pools & Spas, we would like to partner with you to help! Let us explain how hot tubs can help de-stress teenagers. 

Lower Cortisol Levels with Hot Tub Use

Cortisol is the hormone responsible for stress. You have cortisol receptors in nearly every cell in your body, meaning stress affects your teenagers from head to toe. You can help your teenagers keep stress levels low by letting them soak in a hot tub. Regular hot tub use has been shown to significantly reduce cortisol levels in the body and help alleviate the symptoms of stress such as tense muscles, headaches, and sleeplessness. Hot tub use has also been shown to help increase the production of endorphins, the hormone responsible for triggering positive feelings. 

Create Space for Conversation 

While balancing school, sports, relationships, and so much more, teens have lots on their minds but they rarely want to or know how to open up about it all. Creating a safe, comfortable space can allow conversation to flow more easily and help de-stress your teenagers. Invite your teens to join you in your hot tub from time to time to create that space to chat with your teen about anything big or small.

Appeal to the Senses to De-Stress

Help de-stress teenagers by using your hot tub to appeal to the senses of sight. Wellis® Spas come equipped with exclusive color therapy lighting. With up to 20 underwater LED mood lights, you can change the color to aid in relaxation and stress relief. Turn these lights to your choice of green, blue, and purple colors that are associated with peace, calm, and rest. 

Next up, make use of the sense of smell with the aromatherapy experience found in many Wellis Spa models. These fragrances and oils are added to your hot tub and then inhaled while you soak to help calm and relax your whole body for the ultimate spa experience. 

Let Your Teen Unwind with Friends with a Hot Tub Party

Few things can help your teens de-stress like laughter and good times with their best friends. So, let your teens invite a few of their friends over for a hot tub party. Grab some fun snacks, turn up the tunes on the built-in MyMusic™ hot tub audio system, and let your teens de-stress with their friends in your hot tub.
