Aromatherapy can be defined as the art and science of utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to balance, harmonize and promote the health of body, mind and spirit. It is an art and science which seeks to explore the physiological, psychological and spiritual realm of the individual's response to aromatic extracts as well as to observe and enhance the individual's innate healing process. (Aromaway Candles in no way suggests that it can heal you, you must see your physician and say your prayers.)
Candle light and wonderfully scented oils and candles can give you a more peaceful feeling. You don't need to have any certain type of candle or oil. It is whatever you choose or like. Almost any candle will work, votive candles, scented floating candles, or essential oils in a reed diffuser. They don’t’ have to be scented, they can be unscented. Of course, scents will help with the relaxation.
Lavender is the fragrance most renowned for it's relaxation benefits in aromatherapy. It's a common ingredient in products aimed at relaxation and stress relief, such as candles, pillows, bath oils, soaps and lotions. Aromaway Candles offer several Lavender scented products and can be purchased Here.
However not everyone likes Lavender. Some people find other scents that seem to work better for them. For that reason, I recommend that you take into account your own personal preferences in choosing the scented products that are right for you. Other fragrances that have a strong reputation for relaxation are: chamomile, vanilla, ylang ylang, clary sage, bergamot, frankincense, and sandalwood. These fragrances can be purchased at Aromaway Candles. If you have strong allergies or are highly sensitive to scented products, you may want to choose unscented. The enjoyment of a glowing candle can do wonders. So light a candle and relax.
