Aromatherapy

 Light up your mood and senses with aromatherapy candles

Of all the aromatherapy products available in the market today, aromatherapy candles are the most popular ones. Available in hundreds of scents, sizes, designs, shapes, colors, and textures, aromatherapy candles are preferred by most people because they are convenient and safer to use. 

In fact, by using aromatherapy candles, an ordinary room can turn into a more cozy and inviting place where one can relax. Aside from turning an ordinary setting to an extraordinary one, scented candles can also evoke various memories from the past while transporting you into a place where you can find serenity and tranquility. 

Unlike the usual candles, aromatherapy candles are known to release small but continuous streams of herbal and floral essences as they burn into the air. As the natural chemicals and essential oils contained in each candle enter your body through breathing, the therapeutic properties of the oil steadily travel in your bloodstream to stimulate the brain. 

Compared to the direct use of aromatherapy essential oils through a massage, subtle benefits can only be achieved by lighting an aromatherapy candle. But, the diffusing essential oil in scented candles can aid greatly in the alteration, enhancement, and improvement of one's state of mind. Aside from veering you away from the toxicities of your environment, burning aromatherapy candles can also give your space a touch of nature as it enlivens and cleanses the air in your abode.

Unlike other aromatherapy products that require accessories, aromatherapy candles are simpler to use. All you need is a pack of your chosen scent and a match or lighter to unleash powerful and soothing scents that enhances mood, uplifts spirits while relieving tensions. Aside from lighting up the aromatherapy candle, there are various ways to enjoy it. Here are some:

Creating an Aromatherapy Kit

When people think of aromatherapy, this usually means getting treatment in a spa. Those days are gone now as the person can buy a kit and bring it out whenever it is needed. 

The customer can just buy it from a reputable store and have this stored in a cool and dry place so this will be just as effective like the day it was purchased. 

Not everyone is familiar with aromatherapy. Those who have time can sign up for a class to learn the various properties and uses of each of the oils. 

A beginner kit can come with four 10 ml. bottles. One example of such a kit may hold lavender, eucalyptus, tea tree  and peppermint. 

In the course of the class, the student will learn that lavender is effective in treating anxiety and stress. Eucalyptus and peppermint can help the individual breathe easy again if one has a clogged nose while tea tree oil can be used to alleviate muscle pain.  

Students who are already familiar with the various scents can get a larger kit that has more bottles. The individual will become an expert in using it one by one or even mixing the various oils that can help others feel refreshed. 

Learning the use of each will make it easier for the person to use candles and bath salts. Eventually, buying packs don’t have to be done anymore since this can be purchased separately to come up with new concoctions. 

If the oil that the person wants is out of stock, this can be ordered online. The customer will just have to pay using either cash or credit card.  

Someone with a large aromatherapy kit can mix 20 drops of lavender oil, 10 drops of rosemary and blackberry, 5 drops each of peppermint and cypress oil and use this to massage those sore muscles. 

Another concoction that can help the individual relax is by using 20 drops of geranium, 10 drops of bergamot and ylang-ylang with 5 drops each of frankincense and cedar wood. 

Having an aromatherapy kit is like carrying a first aid pack wherever the person goes. This should be checked regularly so there is always enough around when it is needed. 

Someone who decides to become an aromatherapist after taking the class should first check if the client is allergic to any of the oils. This will give the professional time to find a substitute. 

The person does not have to take a class in order to know how to use the kit. This is because each pack comes with a set of reading instructions that will help the user understand the use of each oil. 

The aromatherapy kit can be used as long as this is needed. Sometimes just opening the bottle and inhaling it is enough while at times this has to be applied to the body. 

All of the oils are made from natural ingredients, which are extracted from either plants or trees so there is no risk of overdose when it is used to make the pain go away. The customer can buy a pack today and experience the difference, which in some cases is more effective than buying drugs over the counter. 

If however, the person’s condition does not improve, maybe it is time to call a doctor. People should remember that aromatherapy can only be used to help someone who is suffering from a headache, a cold or muscle pain.
