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 fiend serenity and tranquility.
Unlike the usual candles, aromatherapy candles are known to release small but continuous stream 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 clean the air in your abode.
THE POWER OF SCENT
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 wats to enjoy it. Here are some:
1. To enjoy the best aromatherapy candle, make sure that you buy items that contain “aromatherapy candle” label not “scented candle” label. This can assure you that you will enjoy the benefits of pure essential oils as the candles burn into the air.
2. Make sure that you select the right candle for the appropriate situation. Know what are your purpose and your desired effect in using a specific aromatherapy candle.
If you wish to invigorate, treat yourself by lighting an invigorating aromatherapy candle that contain mixture of oils from the citrus and mint families such as peppermint, spearmint, basil, eucalyptus, or cedar, rosemary, cinnamon, geranium, cassia, and vanilla to stimulate and revitalize your senses quickly.
If you want to relax, opt for a relaxing aromatherapy candle that contains pure essential oils from lavender, chamomile, patchouli, geranium, and rose that can help you release stress. If you’re creativity is being altered and you’re experiencing mental block, light up a aromatherapy candles that can help you concentrate such as those that contain citrus essential oils like lemon, orange, grapefruit, lemongrass, and bergamot.
And if you want to add atmosphere to your space, opt for aromatherapy candles that contains sensual essential oils like ylang ylang, vanilla, neroli, rose, clary sage, and sandalwood.
3. Make sure that you light up aromatherapy candles that can complement each other. Avoid burning candles that compete with the fragrance of other candles because the combination of these can produce a heavy scent that can cause you headache.
4. Make it a routine to light up aromatherapy candles so your body can get used to the therapeutic benefits of various essential oils.
5. In order to enjoy the maximum benefit of an aromatherapy candle, make sure that you choose the candle that is appropriate for your need and desired effect.

April 23, 2002 ByChristian Reh (Germany) - See all my reviewsThis review is from: Aromatic Candles (Hardcover)Excellent book with a good background on etheric oils, how to recognise and combine them and finally how to prepare candles using the different oils. The book has a very nice layout with a lot of pictures inviting to be very creative!
Material needed is quite a lot (especially if you start from scratch) but if preparation of candles is not a "one-shot-event" it is definitely a good investment. After a little bit of training these candles are the best presents to good friends and you can be sure to be invited again! ;-)
Don't expect your candles to look like the pictures or smell great,
January 5, 2009 ByFluff City Mama (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviewsThis review is from: Aromatic Candles (Hardcover)This is a very pretty book, but deceptive. The recipes call for a few drops of essential oil per candle - if you like your candles fragrant (ie. the kind of person that would be attracted by the title) you will find these have little or no smell. I was also puzzled that the author called for vanilla essential oil, because, well, there's no such thing, it doesn't exist.
If you don't care about that but think the candles are gorgeous, don't expect yours to look like these. The most glaring example is the bayberry candle - the author calls for genuine bayberry wax instead of fragrance and adds no color. The candle pictured is dark red, but natural bayberry wax is pale green, and by following the directions you won't get anything remotely resembling the photo. Also many of the candles are two colors, and the order given for pouring them will give candles with colors in the opposite order and proportion than what's pictured, and the instructions on temperature control of the wax are inadequate to give a smooth join between colors. And there's a gorgeous marbled candle that I would love to know how they did, but the method described won't give you a candle that looks anything like the picture.
This book seems to fit into the category of another pretty craft book that doesn't have good instructions and just ends up disappointing.

For people that enjoy aromatherapy products, nothing would make them happier than having the right type of aromatherapy candle holder. Having the right aromatherapy candle holder can increase the safety and the scent of the candles that are purchased for the home. There are many reasons why choosing the right type of aromatherapy candle holder can make burning candles in your home easier and more efficient, so the choice of what type of holder to purchase should be carefully considered before making a final decision.
Enhancing The Décor Of The Home
Choosing the corect type of aromatherapy candle holder for the home can enhance the existing décor of a room and make it more attractive. Candle holders come in a wide variety of different colors, shapes, and styles so it will not be difficult for a person to find a style that will go with their existing décor. Mirrored candle holders are very popular right now, as well as aromatherapy candle holders that resemble vases and candle holders made out of blown glass that is frosted or contains different colors.
Be Able To Replace The Candle Holder
Many expensive types of aromatherapy candle holders come with a warranty for replacing the holder if it becomes damaged within a specific period of time.Each warranty has conditions that void the agreement if the candle holder is mistreated, including placing inappropriate objects into the aromatherapy candle holder, and damaging the holder through dropping or beating on it. The people that examine the aromatherapy candle holder to determine replacement under a warranty will look for these things and will void the warranty if they find any signs of these actions.
Increasing The Amount Of Scent From The Candle
Choosing the right type of aromatherapy candle holder is very important because the right holders can control the amount of the scent released from the candle into the home. With aromatherapy candles, maintaining the scent at an acceptable level allows the person to make sure that the scent does not become overpowering or annoying. Some types of aromatherapy candle holder can create a scent that can linger for a significant period of time after the candle has been blown out. Some of the less expensive candle holders are not designed to be very effective at controlling the amount of scent that is released from the candle. Once the person has upgraded to a better quality aromatherapy candle holder, they find that the amount of scent released by the candle is much easier to manage.

A friend of mine called Charlene, who runs an aromatherapy course in Lincoln, Nebraska, told me a story about a young man who had just joined the course and was raring to go because he had read so much about aromatherapy. It was Charlene’s practice to light an aromatherapy candle at the beginning of every session and ask the participants what the fragrance reminded them of. As it happened, she was using a lavender candle and asked the young man what he could smell. He took a deep breath, and with a look of great disappointment on his face, said, “Room freshener!”
“I never found out what he was expecting,” Charlene later told me. With apologies for this initial digression, I think the young man got it at least partially right. Aromatherapy candles are a room freshener par excellence, because they keep a room smelling exquisite for hours together. However, what makes them even better is that they have therapeutic effects on the mind and body.
Why is that? Well, aromatherapy candles are made of wax laced with essential oils from certain aromatic plants, so that as the wax melts, the molecules of the plant extract are diffused into the environment, thus creating a heavenly fragrance.
So which are the plants from which aromatherapy candles draw their fragrances? The answer is not exactly straightforward, since any or more than one part of a particular plant may be the source of the fragrance. But that minor complication apart, lavender is the most popular oil when it comes to aromatherapy candles. That does not mean you don’t have a wide enough choice, given the speed with which the popularity of aromatherapy is increasing.
According to aromatherapy practitioners like Charlene, there are candles to suit all moods. So if you are suffering from insomnia, light sage, chamomile, and ylang ylang candles next to your bath. Those suffering from depression should try rosemary and grapefruit aromatherapy candles, while all-purpose aromatherapy candles contain extracts of sandalwood, eucalyptus, geranium, peppermint, and many other plants. However, you may very well find that reactions vary from person to person, so it is best not to generalize if you are using a candle for therapy. Consult an expert first.
In addition to aromas, these candles are also available in a vast array of shapes and sizes. So you can go for a floating, pillar, gel, votive or jar candle. In addition, if you feel up to it, you can prepare a personalized aromatherapy candle at home by mixing and matching several aromas. To get you started, try a blend of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. An alternative could be a refreshing and stimulating mix of peppermint, lemon, and rosemary. Don’t forget to write in with the results!

This type of healing sensation fills the room with the smell of fantastic flowers or other captivating smells and will swamp your body with warmth and wonder.
Choosing a scent:
Finding the scent the best works with your personal needs is a matter of testing the candles in the store before you purchase them. Find a scent that attracts you and take it in with a deep breath. Most candles have a smell that can be determined without unwrapping or lighting the candle, so breathe it in and determine whether or not it would suit your desires as an aromatherapy candle. Making the right choice is important as the smell of this candle will fill your lungs and hopefully lead you to a better place of relaxation and bliss.
The aromatherapy massage candle you choose should have a comforting aroma that will help your body to fully relax and help you feel energized. This will enable you to face the next day with your body filled with energy and passion, ready to deal with your difficulties with a calm sense of self-worth and a complete sense of well being. It is this that produces a wave of pleasure in the relaxing aromatherapy candle and this that creates a sense of power in us all, realizing that we can take charge and recharge at the end of any day with a simple breath.
