Do you know that aromatherapy is not just for rejuvenation but fantastic for your entire body? Its true and one of the ways you can immediately benefit from it is to use scent emitted from aromatherapy candles.
The way it works is this: From the blend of essential oils that is embedded in these candles, a therapeutic smell is produced by burning it. This smell will enter the body and not only produce a nice fragrance, but make you more energetic and heals the body.
Well now just how are these aromatherapy candles made? Why are they so different from normal candles? Im glad youve asked. First a selection of ingredients is made to prepare for making the base of the candle. These ingredients are wax (duh), beeswax, aromatherapy oils, herbs and extracts of dry flowers and fruits. If you wish to make these candles yourself, the ingredients can be easily purchased from aromatherapy stores or general stores.
Next comes the customization of the candles to your individual likes and dislikes. You dont want to create a candle only to hate the smell after burning it! Ok so to get the right smell for you, first create different mixes of the herbs, oils and wax and forge only small candles out of them. Use only a little wax and some essential oils. Then light up the candles individually and see which smell attracts you. The scent may not be as strong due to lesser quantity of ingredients used, but it should give you an idea.
Let each candle burn sequentially in the room for about an hour or so. The smell will linger in the room afterwards, so you can better savor which mixture you like. This is the fun part, so enjoy it!
After all the candles have been tested, write down the exact ingredients and percentage of each that were used. This is so you can re-make the candle again with a much stronger scent if you like a particular one. One extra tip: You can also use the scent-candle recipe you like as a base and further mix in other ingredients in the future for a more subtle difference.
In conclusion, the above tips will help you get started on producing aromatherapy candles you like. But it is by no means easy. It may take some time and much experimenting before your hit the jackpot. But trust me if you put in the time and effort you will reap the results.
