One of the common ways of utilizing aromatherapy is through candles.

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.
