The Top 10 Benefits of an Aroma Candle for Your Home

The candle has evolved from a simple light source to an ornamental accent that has many uses and benefits over time. Over 5,000 years ago mankind used candles to illuminate celebrations and as a light source. Yet we know very little about their origin.

Ancient Egyptians, according to legend, were the first to use candles when they created rush lights, or torches, from soaking reed pith in melted animal fat; but these torches did not have a wick like a candle. A source for this information is the National Candle Association.

During the 19th century, a significant number of technological developments impacted candle making today. For example, chemists discovered how to separate and refine wax from petroleum in the 1850s, resulting in paraffin wax.

The candle-making industry began to decline after electricity was invented and the lightbulb introduced in 1879. Despite candles no longer being man's primary source of light, they have become increasingly popular and useful: candles symbolize celebration, romance, and farewell, define ceremony and enhance home decor. Adding light to any environment instantly changes its ambiance without adding harshness from an electric light bulb. It is relaxing and warm when candles flicker in front of you.

Here are 10 ways you'll benefit from burning candles:

REMEMBRANCE & SUPPORT

Often, a smell associated with a memory or a specific moment evokes a strong sense of smell. When our customers smell our candles, they share memories. This is one of the joys of selling candles. Here are a few of our favorites:

• One woman said that after smelling Tobacco Caramel, she was reminded of her grandparents' farm and the tobacco leaves hung to dry in the barn during her summers as a kid

• Our booth was approached by a man who stared at each candle before facing our table. His face was lit up after smelling Karma for the first time. My uncle's head shop in my childhood smelled exactly like this when I worked there as a kid"

• For many of our customers, Frazier Fir evokes fond memories of sitting around the Christmas tree.

Candles can be used to recall specific memories as well as to remember those we've lost. Often, candlelight vigils are held in communities to raise awareness of particular causes. Candles can be lit for loved ones at many churches. We will have a candle burning during our upcoming wedding in honor of those who cannot be present.

ROMANCE

Candlelight is a romantic way to make any dinner feel romantic. Candles should always be kept on your nightstand. When the mood strikes, light one up and turn up the heat - nothing enhances the moment like soft lighting.

SELF-EXPRESSION

We all have different tastes in fashion and music, and every person smells scents differently, just like everyone has different tastes in fashion and music. Burn your favorite scents to display your individuality and personality. Never be insecure about your tastes, just as you don't need to be about your style. Be yourself! Embrace your individuality. You shouldn't feel bad about a patchouli candle not being liked by someone else.
