illustrates their purpose to scent the air of a room. As this candles do

candles that use essential oils for this type of candles has many therapeutic

Scented
candles are usually made of beeswax but it is highly essential that you are
sure that the candles you purchase are 100% natural and do not contain any
added substances or paraffin. Unlike paraffin candles, natural wax scented
candles are cleaner when burning and do not give off black soot.
Highly
scented candles give off the scent even if they are not lit. This why many
people prefer to use highly scented candles just as a decoration and you can
choose from a variety of forms and fragrances. It is better to use scented
candles that are based on essential oils not fragrance oils. And you wonder how
to find out whether the candle uses fragrance or essential oils simply take a
quick look at the name of the scent and you will get the answer. Essential oils
come from plants and therefore bear the name of the plant – eucalyptus,
marjoram, chamomile, ginger, etc. So, if you see a name like hot fudge sundae
or cinnamon pie, for instance, our advice is not to purchase it for you will be
giving your money for fragrance oils. Always choose candles with the plant
names for the scents!
We
can help you choose the candles that you want. First thing you should know is
that the colour has little to do with aromatherapy but it is closely linked to
the scent of the candle. Let us see lavender for instance. Lavender essential
oil is famous for its soothing and relaxing properties and usually scented
candles of this nature are some shade of purple or lilac. Naturally, candles
scented in pine are likely to be a shade of green.
One
of the advantages of scented candles is that they can mask the odour of cooking
or pet odours. And this is not all. Scented candles not only provide a
healthier home for you, but also fill the air in your home with sweet scents
without having to use any harsh spray chemicals. Scented candles definitely have
much more uses than just setting the scene for romance.
