By Faith A scented therapeutic candle is a great way to add luxury and warmth to your home. But the benefits of lighting candles are not limited to their physical and mental benefits.
High-quality essential oils or fragrance oils are used in therapeutic candles. The essential oils’ aromas are released into the air when you light a candle that has been infused with them. The pleasant aroma is absorbed into the bloodstream and enables us to enjoy its relaxing effects.
- Happy Times
Not only do sound and sight trigger memories, but the smell is one of the most powerful of all five senses. Ever smell a perfume and be flooded with memories of a loved one who also wears it? This is your brain’s strong connection between smell and memory. You can use this to your advantage at home.
- Enhance Your Mood
The scent is not only linked to memories but it can also influence our mood. Lavender and rose, for example, create a sense of calmness. Citrus scents, on the other hand, promote happiness and energy. Use our Happy Aromatherapy balm to lift your mood.
- Create A Space For Your
Your space smells better than anything else. A scented therapeutic candle will make your home more welcoming to visitors. The familiar smell of candles in your home will be something you soon associate with home. Next time you’re staying in unfamiliar places, light the same candle to instantly feel at home.
- Better Sleep
It is easy to get up and scroll through our phones or watch TV when we are having trouble falling asleep. The harsh blue light from our screens keeps us awake longer, however.
A therapeutic candle can lighten your space with a warm, calming glow. As your eyes get heavier, the flickering light from the candle will help you to drift off. As you get ready to go to bed tonight, light a few candles in your bedroom and you will instantly notice the difference.
- Pink Noise
Pink noise is also known as 1/f sound. It has a lower frequency, which people find more soothing. Pink noise has the same energy per octave, making it even more soothing.
This soothing pink sound can be created by lighting a candle. When combined with the gentle flickering of the flame, therapeutic candles can have a profoundly relaxing effect. The rhythm and movement of a candle flame can have a similar effect as watching the twinkling stars or the flow in a river. This is a great way to relax at the end of the workday.
Tips To Use An Aromatherapy Candle
Your therapeutic candle should be left burning for at most an hour. Allowing your candle to burn for at least an hour will allow the essential oils to heat and diffuse properly into your environment. You won’t get the best out of your candle’s relaxing properties if you light it only for 20 minutes. This allows for maximum scent release.
Trim the wick of your therapeutic candle. The flame’s size doesn’t affect the diffusion of scent, but the liquefied wax surrounding the flame. It is important to maintain a long wick. Too long can lead to smoke and soot on the ceiling.
