Scented candles – a small piece in your lifestyle.

Scented candles are more than just items for lighting or deodorizing. For those who appreciate the art of slow living, lighting a scented candle in the evening is a spiritual healing ritual, creating a tranquil space for reading, meditating, or chatting with loved ones.

Lighting a scented candle is a way to reward yourself with a moment of peaceful tranquility after a long, busy day.

1. The art of healing through aromatherapy

Science has proven that fragrances from natural essential oils such as lavender, lemongrass, and pine have a positive impact on the nervous system, helping to reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol, regulate breathing, and improve the quality of deep sleep.

2. Choosing scented candles that are safe for your health.

When choosing scented candles, you should prioritize products made from natural plant-based waxes such as soy wax, beeswax, and coconut wax instead of paraffin wax (petroleum-based). Candle wicks made from natural wood or cotton also help reduce black smoke and harmful emissions when burned.

3. The proper way to light candles

Make sure to trim the candle wick to about 0.5cm before lighting to ensure an even flame and prevent smoke. For the first burn, let the candle burn continuously for 1-2 hours until the wax on the surface melts completely to the sides of the cup, preventing the wick from sinking and wasting wax.
