Aromatherapy Scented
Candle
Awake Your Senses with an Aromatherapy Scented Candle
With the sense of smell being recognized as one of the fastest
ways to change a person’s mood, the use of an aromatherapy
scented candle only makes sense. As aromatherapy has been
accepted for more variety of use, essential oils used have
been put into candles as a means to disperse the smells.
Dr. Alan R. Hirsch of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research
Center in Chicago suggests that their studies show odors provide
excellent memory spark because their oldest memories are usually
of smell. They also find that lavender and vanilla can cause
a person to feel relaxed.
Ever since the days of ancient Egypt, plant oils were used
for their perfume and skin care qualities and ancient Chinese
used the plant’s essential oils for perfumes and also
for healing. Today, the oils included in an aromatherapy scented
candle can be used to offer the same benefits.
Many aromatherapy scented candles are available in a gift
set including bath oils to complement the candles’ scents.
While lounging in a tub with bath oils of peony and lilac,
and a candle with the same scent burning nearby, is able to
soothe and cleanse the mind and the body.
Many Scents for Many Uses
Not only being great gifts, aromatherapy scented candles
also offer many self-indulgences and feelings of enhanced
physical well being. On top of that, most of the candles come
in decorated holders and add a decorative touch to any room.
Based on the desire for a natural improvement, many aromatherapy
scented candles are made with soy bean wax instead of paraffin
wax. Soy wax is a totally natural product, burns cleaner with
no black smoke and has no odor to interrupt the essential
oils being burned in the aromatherapy scented candle.
Several blends are available, such as palmarosa, rosewood
and cedar wood for relaxation, and to have a restful nights
sleep, you might want to use an aromatherapy scented candle
with Roman chamomile and lavender.
Many aromatherapy massage therapists make use of aromatherapy
scented candles in the massage room to stimulate quicker relaxation
for people hoping a massage with essential oils to relax.
This offers the stimulation for relaxation on two levels,
one being smell, the other having the oils massaged into the
body.
With the wider use of aromatherapy scented candles, they
are available easily now. For people who wish to make their
own candles, essential oils can be purchased at most health
stores and on various sites on the Internet. However, you
should exercise care to make sure that the oils purchased
are pure essential oils and not just juice squeezed from a
plant.
