If you
are feeling sad, tired, or stressed, something
as simple as a scented candle might help.
Aromatherapy candles
help many people to relax and feel happier. Not
all scented candles have a therapeutic effect,
however. How do you choose the right candle? How
can you be sure to select an aromatherapy candle
that can lift your mood?
When an aromatherapy candle burns, it releases
small quantities of essential oils into the air.
These natural chemicals penetrate your body and
affect your brain in a positive way. While an
aromatherapy candle can't cure severe depression
or anxiety, it can definitely help you relax
after a hectic day at work.
For the proper therapeutic effect, only quality
essential oils should be used to make the
candle. Essential oils are oils derived from
plants and herbs. An aromatherapy candle should
display a label that reads “pure essential
oils.” The oil should be mixed in thoroughly in
the wax and not just coat the surface.
Top-quality scented aromatherapy candles are
made from soy wax or beeswax, not paraffin, a
petroleum by-product commonly used in cheap
scented candles. Paraffin wax releases harmful
chemicals and soot, which leaves ugly, dark
spots on your furniture. It emits fumes that are
harmful to inhale. It doesn't make much sense to
add quality essential oils to paraffin wax
candles. For beneficial effects, choose soy wax
aromatherapy candles.
Which scent is good for what? For mental
alertness and improved memory, try ginger. It is
also known to promote confidence and courage as
well as clear the head. A ginger scented candle
is a good choice if you have to study or do some
work that requires mental alertness. Ginger is
also helpful if you feel confused or lack
direction.
Lavender is a very popular scent used in
aromatherapy to promote relaxation. It can help
you feel peaceful and comfortable. It soothes
both the body and the soul. Tangerine also helps
you let go of your troubles, but it energizes
you as well and makes you feel happy.
Bergamot relieves anxiety. Also try bergamot if
you are feeling sad for no apparent reason. It
can lift your mood and calm you down. Lavender,
sandalwood, and bergamot are all reputed to aid
anxiety and decrease agitation. Chamomile,
lavender, and sandalwood are said to combat
stress by producing a calming effect and
generating a happy mood.
An aromatherapy candle can help you feel happier
not only because of the way the essential oils
interact with your body, but also because of the
warm glow of the candle flame. A candle flame
has always had a positive effect on the human
being. It makes us feel safe and cozy. Seeing a
peaceful candle flame and inhaling a pleasant
smell at the same time have a beneficial
psychological effect. Treat yourself with a
scented aromatherapy candle today.
