How To Use Aromatherapy Candles To Create A Welcoming
Atmosphere!
Burning aromatherapy candles scented with pure essential oils is
a wonderful way to add fragrance to a room. Not only does an
aromatherapy candle smell nice, it can have therapeutic effects
on the body and mind. Essential oils are extracted from certain
aromatic plants and are used by aromatherapists to promote
emotional and physical well being. When a few drops of a
particular plant essence is added to a candle, its powerful
aroma molecules are diffused into the surrounding air as the wax
melts. When inhaled, the fragrance can help soothe and
revitalize.
Aromatherapy scented candles can be made with oils from various
types of plants. Aromatherapy essential oils can be made from
different parts of plants, including flowers, berries, leaves
and bark. As well as having a unique natural perfume, they have
many different healing qualities. For instance, lavender is well
known for its relaxing properties. When added to a jar candle,
it can be used to create a soothing and peaceful atmosphere. The
rich aroma of sandalwood can help ease feelings of anxiety and
stress. As well as being used individually, oils can be used in
blends to create uniquely fragranced candles. For example, a
seasonal Christmas blend could include mandarin, cinnamon, clove
or nutmeg. Or a refreshing mix of oils could include peppermint,
lemon, rosemary or bergamot to help stimulate the senses.
For maximum aromatherapy benefits, candles should be made from
natural based ingredients that don't release toxins as they
burn. Aromatherapy soy candles made from soybean wax are a
popular option, as these are considered better for the
environment than petroleum based candles. It's worth reading the
labels when buying a candle to make sure it contains pure
aromatherapy oil and no synthetic fragrances or dyes. Using
scented candles in the home is a simple but effective way of
influencing the mood of a room, to create a tranquil and
harmonious environment. Products such as candles, oil burners or
other types of aromatherapy diffusers can make inexpensive gifts
and offer a natural alternative to chemical air fresheners.
Adding aromatherapy candles to the home is a quick and easy way
to enhance the atmosphere in a room and create a peaceful space
to unwind in at the end of a busy day.
