3 Easy Steps on How to Make Aromatherapy Candles

Aromatherapy candles or aroma candles are made with essential oils and have an aroma therapeutic effect. They are made for holistic care — providing well-being not only to the body and mind but as well as the spirit. And they provide lots of benefits not only to the mind and body but also to our home.
STEP 1: Preparing the Components of Aromatherapy Candles

Aroma candles are expensive compared to regular scented candles because of the components used in making them. There are three main components of aroma candles: wick, wax, and essential oils.

Wick

A good aroma candle has a wick made from either cotton or hemp. The wick shouldn’t contain any toxic elements like zinc and lead because they can spread into the air and enter through our respiratory system, which could cause harm to the body.

Wax

To make all-natural aromatherapy candles, use soy wax, beeswax, and rapeseed wax. Don’t use paraffin wax since this type of wax is derived from petroleum and contains chemicals like formaldehyde and benzene, which are toxic.Those candles from soy wax burn cleaner with little soot released, and these are non-toxic.

Essential Oils

For the essential oils, never use chemically derived oils but use natural essential oils — although they could be expensive.
