Save Light Use By Burning Handmade Beeswax Candles At Night

By Marie Peterson


Coming home to a pleasant aroma is not always possible, especially if a person does not live alone or is unable to open window for more than an hour every day. While there are sprays that neutralize odors, some of these are not safe to use around household pets or may contain a scent that is too strong for the user. One way to remedy foul or stale odors is to burn handmade beeswax candles shortly after arriving home.

There is a lot of power behind the burning of candles, as some people have chosen this as their only source of light when reading at night. This source of light can also help people relax before going to bed. People who do this say that simply focusing on the flame has a calming effect.

In order to get the best value, it helps to buy the largest candle possible. Large or medium jars or long pillar versions are great for extended use in a home. It also helps to buy one with a pure cotton wick and oils that are not synthetic. Most sellers should indicate if the materials when they have used natural ingredients and not something made in a lab.

The slightly sweet scent is ideal for ridding spaces of stuffy or stale aromas that are common when homes are closed up all day. If a person spends a lot of time on the road, the only time they are able to open their windows might be on their days off. Burning one of these after a long day can also create a relaxing atmosphere.

If possible, take part in physical activity before the end of the day. Low impact exercises like walking along a nature path, yoga, or something that promotes stretching like reiki. While some parks offer these classes to adults, there are also streaming videos that can help anyone get started.

Another way to relax with candles is meditation. This has nothing to do with religious practices or taking on beliefs that may be contradictory. While there are many books and online media that show how to do this, all it really takes is having a clean area to sit and concentrate. There are even some positions that can be done at an office desk. Instead of taking a smoke break, taking time to focus or stretch not only costs less than cigarettes but is a lot healthier.

Once again, not all candles have these capabilities. Even those that smell really good or cost a lot of money may not have the same properties as those made with pure beeswax. While beeswax costs a little more than paraffin, it helps to do a little homework since some sellers will try to pass off imposters. Most purists find they can get the best quality from independent artisans found online or at farmers markets.

A beeswax candle burns longer than most inexpensive brands and made from ingredients that have the power to clean the air without irritants. If a person likes to have a little extra scent, it helps to buy one made with pure oil and a wick made from cotton. Once a person tries using this type of candle and discovers its uses, chances are strong that they will never go back to using the cheap versions.
