The benefits of burning candles over time
The enchanting scent of candles has mesmerised us for thousands of years, taking us back to ancient times when our ancestors discovered the healing properties of oils and plant materials like bone fat, beeswax and paraffin.
And guess what? Even in our modern world filled with all sorts of high-tech gadgets, we haven't lost our love for candles! Far from just being a source of light, candles have become a special part of our celebrations like Christmas or birthday parties. They add that extra beauty and charm to any setting.
Candles also aren't just about adding a warm glow to your surroundings; they can actually make you feel better too! Many people use scented candles as a form of aromatherapy to boost both their mental and physical wellbeing.
According to scientists, the essential oils used in candles can help stimulate the production of glucocorticoids (don't worry if you can't pronounce it!). In simple words, these are substances that help your body manage stress and reduce inflammation. The lovely smells from these candles tickle scent molecules in your brain, influencing everything from your mood to your energy levels and even physical reactions.
So next time you light a candle at home or at an event, take a moment to appreciate this little piece of history and its power to transform how you feel!
Make your own eco-friendly candles with Elena
Sadly, many store-bought candles contain harmful substances like petroleum or paraffin. But Elena Martarello has sought to change that with her eco-friendly line of candles at Bellanina Creations. Based in Sydney, Elena creates beautiful handmade candles for various events like weddings and baptisms without using harmful colourants or additives.
