Aromatherapy Candles - Set the Mood
from: Sanji GrettaAromatherapy candles are in constant use to help set the
atmosphere and improve the ambience in many situations. They can
be used in any room of your home and provide a wonderful
enhancement.
Our sense of smell has been documented to directly affect our
emotions. Part of our nervous system that helps to control our
emotions is connected to our nose. Thus, the proof that using
aromatherapy candles will have an effect on our mindset and our
emotions. The key is in choosing the correct scent to match the
emotion or sense you wish to evoke.
When it comes to aromatherapy there are many ways to get the
most out of the aroma, but one of the most popular ways is
through dispersing it into the air with candles. Aromatherapy
candles aren't all the same, they can be made in a variety of
ways, with different ingredients. You can also burn them in
different ways.
Which kinds are better for you? Since paraffin wax candles are
said to pollute the air with soot I would advise against it for
health reasons. Don't be discouraged, there are many other types
of aromatherapy candles available. Candles can be made with
beeswax, soybean wax, vegetable oil or even pure essential oil
candles are available. All of these are great choices. They are
environmentally friendly because they are derived from natural
plant sources. Along with these ingredients, they are also
available in different styles, sizes, and scents.
The only way to get the scent in the air is by burning the
candles, and you have different ways to burn your candles. One
of the more popular ways is to use an oil burner, or the tiered
bowl with tea lights, although more expensive, they make great
diffusers.
Did you know that the way you burn your candle can effect the
life and how evenly the candle will burn? Here are a few basic
tips to consider before lighting up for your aromatherapy
session:
Wick trimming ¼" from top of wax will increase the life of the
candle. Another trick to longer life is to refrigerate wrapped
candles before use. Last tip but not the least, the first time
you burn the candle let it burn for at least an hour before
extinguishing. This is what I call conditioning the candle and
will help with the way the candle burns. This first burning
extends the life of your aromatherapy candle. Take some time to
care for them and they will last a very long time.
Hopefully you are well on your way to that moment of relaxation
you've been longing for. Light some aromatherapy candles and sit
to read a book or take a long hot bath by candlelight. Unwind,
loosen up and start taking some time for yourself. Start
enjoying your newly found serenity.... you deserve it.
