The fragrance of the rose, the energy of the orange, the quivering of the lily of the valley is and much more in the scented candles of our time. The choice, as we already know, is great, but how to choose the one, the only one that suits your mood and situation?
As for smell, there is a whole science, aromatherapy. Experts say that with the help of the smell of essential oils a person can improve the quality. So, you probably have already noticed that now it is not so easy to find a cosmetic product, without adding any yes essential oil. And this is not bad, let us tell you directly, because it is known that aroma oils are used in various spheres of life, for example, for body care, treatment of diseases, aromatization of indoor air, added to meals and drinks, in candles and so on. d.
It is believed that aromatherapy originated in the countries of the Ancient East, thousands of years ago.
If the purpose of essential oils for cosmetic and medicinal purposes is less clear, then what about candles. What benefits do scented candles bring to people?
Very often, people tired after a working day, or after severe stress and overwork, need a break, then aroma candles enter. With the help of any candles you can create a pleasant atmosphere, you say, but this is not quite so.
Natural scented candles are very useful, they not only create comfort and a favorable atmosphere in the house, but also have properties that many do not even suspect. For example, who would have thought that a high-quality scented candle helps to reduce the number of bacteria and viruses in a room?
Just pay attention to the color. Multicolored scented candles are certainly beautiful, but they do not burn as evenly as white (colorless), and their fragrance is weaker due to the fact that the coloring pigments condense wax.
Look more closely at the candle with a smooth surface, it conveys the aroma better, because the mineral wax that is part of it is responsible for the smoothness. Another important detail - such candles do not give any harmful fumes.
As for wax, for example, candles from vegetable wax burn well and do not bring harm, but burn quickly, and the aroma of oils in them is not maintained, especially during long storage. Beeswax is considered the most environmentally friendly, but it is difficult to aromatize, and the costs are not justified.
If the candle is made of “proper” wax, it will burn evenly and long without smoke; its surface will remain even, as the wick will be straight, and the aroma from the candle will emanate as much as it will burn — about 60 hours.
