Buying an Aromatherapy Scented Candle

Buying an aromatherapy scented candle can be your first step towards living a life enhanced by the benefits of aromatherapy.

Sure, a scented candle will freshen the air in a room and the flick of the flame will add to your decor... and to your Feng Shui! Using aromatherapy for headaches has been studied and many believe that it works. Scented candles can also become your favorite aromatherapy depression cure. Aromatherapy can also help with your stuffy nose, insomnia and many more ailments and bad moods.

Choosing the Perfect Scented Candle

How do you go about choosing the perfect aromatherapy scented candle? The previous link will give you more information on how to choose an aromatherapy candle if you intend on giving it to someone else. How should you choose one for yourself?

Well, that's a personal decision, isn't it? You can choose based on color, style, scent or convenience. At the end of the day, you will be the one enjoying your candles.

Here are a few of my personal recommendations:

• Pick a color that will not jar with your decor.
• Pick a scent that appeals to you.
• Discover what aromatherapy benefit you wish to gain from using the candle and factor that into your decision. For example:

  For depression, try citrus-scented or ylang-ylang candles such as these candles:

  Therepe Scented Soy Jar Candles - Mandarin Grapefruit

  Mandarin Orange Jar Candle - 4.3 oz

  Mountain Temple Aromatherapy Candles - Round Pillar

  
  

  For irritability, try vanilla or other "food" scents that have positive effects on you. The selection of "comfort food" candle shown below is pretty good!

Vanilla Glazed Coconut Scone Pillar Candles Scented Votives - Red Hot Cinnamon Passion Fruit Jar Candle - 4.3 oz Cafe Aroma Glass Espresso Cup - Honey Cocoa Scented Coffee Travel Cup w/ Lid - Hazelnut Slice of Cake Candles - Lemon

For concentration, try pine-scented candles such as this one:

Colored Round Floaters - Pine Green (Set of 4)

• Go with your personal experience. Does the smell of cherries, strawberries, blueberries, cotton or rain make you happy? I recommend the first two aromatherapy soy candles and this votive candle:

  Therepe Black Soy Tin Candles - Raspberry Patchouli

  Therepe Scented Soy Jar Candle Tester - Pomegranate

  Scented Votives - Fresh Peach
