Aromatherapy Oils and Candles: Evoking Moods with Them and Creating Your Own
Enhance your mood
Aromatherapy candles are known to evoke certain moods and emotions, so now that we know that you might ask which scents do what, where can you find high quality aromatherapy candles online, and how do you make them?
If you're looking to enhance your mood, aromatherapy candles are a convenient and enjoyable way to help. If you need energy, try burning citrus candles that have scents like lime, lemongrass, grapefruit, and orange for a pick-me-up.
If you want to wind down and relax, your best bet is to burn lavender candles, which have been said to improve sleep, calm anxiety, cure insomnia, and slow heart rates.
Thinking of making your own aromatherapy candles?
If you want to make your own aromatherapy candles, it is always best to use natural waxes like soy wax or beeswax and to use pure essential oils. These are a little more expensive but will be much more effective.
Here are the basics to making aromatherapy candles, to give you an idea, but you will want to visit our candle making section for more detailed instructions.
1. Slowly melt your wax in a double-boiler.
2. Add essential oils as the wax begins to cool, as fragrance can be lost if poured in very hot wax.
Important!
When working with beeswax, make sure not to get it too hot - beeswax does not boil, but bursts into flames when it reaches high temperatures. Always be cautious when making or burning candles.

Nothing turns a commonplace, ho-hum room into a radiant, inviting setting faster than the flicker of a few ordinary candles scattered strategically throughout the room. Add scented candles and you can quickly evoke childhood memories, transport your imagination to a tropical island, or infuse the room with the crisp scent of a pine forest. Aromatherapy candles add yet another dimension to the equation.
