Tips in
buying and using aromatherapy candles
Today, there are so many aromatherapy products that are
available. But, among all these products, one item remains the
"most brought" aromatherapy product on the market; the
aromatherapy candles. The popularity of aromatherapy candles
can be attributed to their efficiency, affectivity, and wide
range of selection. Aside from being effective and efficient,
may people prefer this product over the others out there
because they are much cheaper and easy to use. For people who
are designs and styles, aromatherapy candles are also perfect
because there are literally thousands of colors and sizes to
choose from.
What kind of candle to buy?
One of the common ways of utilizing aromatherapy is through
candles. These candles during the process of creating them are
infused with selected essential oils so they can help alleviate
stress-related conditions such as depression, headaches, mental
fatigue, as well as other condition that involves the skin and
the person's system. By lighting and inhaling its aroma,
aromatherapy candles can help treat various conditions when
used properly.
In order to achieve the potential benefits of aromatherapy
candles, here are some tips you can use when using and buying
them:
1. When buying,
make sure that you choose the candle for a specific purpose.
This is very important because you can never achieve the result
that you want if the candle is not suited for the purpose you
have in mind. If you are looking forward to a relaxing
atmosphere, choose aromatherapy candles with relaxing scents
such as lavender. If you are using it as an aphrodisiac, choose
scents that have sensual properties such as jasmine. For a
complete list of essential oils and their purposes, use Gill
Farrer-Halls' "The Aromatherapy Bible: The Definitive Guide to
Using Essential Oils" as a reference.
2. Check the label to make sure that you
are buying authentic ones. The affectivity of aromatherapy
candles also depends on the amount of essential oils present in
the candle. When buying, make sure that the candle is labeled
as "aromatherapy candle" and not as "scented candle" to ensure
that you can get its therapeutic benefits once you lit them
up.
3. Always keep an eye on the aromatherapy when using
it. Although aromatherapy candles can be quite
inexpensive, it can cost you your fortune if you are not
careful in using it. Make sure that you keep an eye on the
candle all the time once you light it up to avoid fires and
other accidents. Also, make sure that aromatherapy candles are
out of children's reach so they won't be able to play with it
especially if you are not around.
