Aromatherapy candles are ideal for the soothing of headaches, the calming of the irritated sinus or in the treatment of asthma and allergy symptoms. Moreover, natural fragrances have great tension and anxiety releasing properties with applications in every day life. The blends of essential oils are not limited to the making of aromatherapy candles, they are also included in the composition of soaps, sprays, body lotions and bath salts. Simple natural treatments, this is the motto that best describes the extensive usage of aromatherapy candles by people all over the world. How do aromatherapy candles work and how good are they for one's health?
When burnt, aromatherapy candles fill the air with herbal and floral essential oils by the continuous release of a warm stream. As you breathe these substances in, they pass into the bloodstream and reach the brain; you could be feeling the subtle benefits right away or within days of usage. It would be wrong to assume that the full healing benefits will become obvious since aromatherapy candles include less concentrated doses of the conventional herbal extracts used in smell therapy and aromatherapy as such. The body chemical reactions to essential oils appear with exposure to more intense doses of these herbal substances.
The most common usage of aromatherapy candles is for the altering, enhancement or the improvement of the mood, allowing one to relax and enter a peaceful state of mind. Such candles are excellent solutions for stress alleviation and a natural and effective way to fight sleep troubles or disorders. Presently, aromatherapy candles are taken by many people as an alternative to emotional eating that is so widely used as a means to fix an awful day. The benefits of aromatherapy will also become apparent for all the family members and you will be enjoying a nice and pleasant atmosphere.
It is good to know that there are major differences between scented candles and aromatherapy candles: always look on the label of the product and check whether they read “pure essential oils”. If this is not the case, do not buy anything that relies on artificial scents since they are not the natural way to improve your mood, not to mention that they could also be harmful for your overall health. Most aromatherapy candles specify which purpose they can be used for. Thus, if they contain lavender extracts, they'll read “relaxation or soothing effects”, whereas if they contain invigorating extracts like orange, lemon, eucalyptus or mint they will read “energizing”.
