Discover the healing power of natural essential oils

Aromatherapy with natural candles

What is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that uses natural plant extracts, known as essential oils, to promote health and wellbeing. When combined with the gentle warmth and light of a candle, aromatherapy becomes a powerful tool for creating a peaceful, healing environment in your home.

Our natural candles are infused with pure essential oils that interact with your body through the olfactory system, potentially affecting the limbic system - the part of your brain that controls emotions and memories. This makes aromatherapy candles an effective way to manage stress, improve mood, and enhance overall wellbeing.

How to Use Aromatherapy Candles

For Relaxation

Light a lavender or vanilla candle 30 minutes before bedtime. Create a calming ritual by dimming lights, playing soft music, and allowing the fragrance to fill your space. This helps signal to your body that it's time to unwind and prepare for restful sleep.

For Focus & Productivity

Use citrus or pine-scented candles in your workspace to boost concentration and mental clarity. The fresh, energising scents help combat mental fatigue and keep you alert during work or study sessions.

For Stress Relief

Create a dedicated relaxation space with your favourite calming candle. Practice deep breathing exercises while the candle burns, focusing on the gentle flame and soothing fragrance. This combination helps reduce cortisol levels and promotes a sense of peace.

For Meditation

Incorporate candles into your meditation practice. The gentle light and natural fragrance help create a sacred space, deepen your practice, and enhance mindfulness. Choose scents that promote grounding and inner peace.

Aromatherapy Safety

While aromatherapy is generally safe when using natural essential oils, it's important to follow these guidelines:

Ventilation

Ensure adequate ventilation when burning candles. While natural candles are much safer than paraffin, fresh air is always beneficial.

Pregnancy & Children

Some essential oils may not be suitable during pregnancy or for young children. Consult with a healthcare provider if you have concerns.

Pets

Some essential oils can be harmful to pets. Keep candles in well-ventilated areas and monitor your pets' reactions to new scents.

Allergies

If you have known allergies or sensitivities, test a candle in a well-ventilated area first. Discontinue use if you experience any adverse reactions.
