Nowadays, almost every room in every house has a scented candle. We used to have candles for emergency lighting during blackouts, but it is much more than that now. Everyone loves scented candles because they look good with the room’s décor, or because they give the room a beautiful aroma.
If these aren’t enough reasons to why you should buy scented candles, here are more.
1| They increase concentration
scented candles spread beautiful aromas that stimulate the brain. Those aromas help your brain stay focused and active. They also help clear your mind and think clearly and calmly.
You can choose whatever aroma you like such as strawberries, Arabic Oud, or vanilla.
2| Makes things more romantic
A candlelit dinner is one of the most romantic things ever. That is because the sweet aroma and the little flickering light sets you in a happy and relaxing mood. You can get small ones and spread them all over the table or the bedroom for a long romantic night.
3| They set a calming mood
Scented candles are scented with essential oils that help your mind relax and by so your body relaxes. If you noticed, most massage sessions include candles scented with natural aromas like jasmine, forests, or Seabreeze. This is proven to help people relax and get away from depression, stress, and all worries.
4| Reduces stress
As mentioned before, when your mind relaxes, your body relaxes as well. Relaxing with a scented candle after a long working day helps you clear your mind. When you clear your mind, you switch off to relax and think of good happy thoughts. This is a great way to recharge for the next day while being filled with positive energy.
5| Helps you sleep
Electricity is great and all. But we all agree that lying in bed with any kind of lights on disrupts falling asleep. That is why scented candles are great for helping you sleep. The calm little yellow light helps your eyes rest and your body prepares for a good night’s sleep.
6| Beautiful aromas
We simply cannot skip this one. If you are in a mood for a certain scent, grab your candle, light it, and set back to enjoy the beautiful aroma filling the room. Isn’t it great, having a room filled with beautiful smells with no wires or worries? We believe it is!
7| Helps you set a routine
If you have a night skin care routine, we recommend adding a scented candle to it. It will absolutely help you be more mindful and focus on the small amount of time you have just with yourself.
8| Kills onion tears
We all hate chopping onions. Not only for the smells, but also for the tears! Lighting a candle while chopping onions will cover the bad onion smell, and will also help in evaporating the oils that makes us cry – thus no onion tears!
9| They give great relief during a cold
If you have a stuffy nose, then we recommend a peppermint scented candle. The aroma will help your nostrils relax and relieve symptoms of cold and flu.
10| Energize you mentally
We agreed that scented candles help you relax, clear your mind, and feel more at peace. This all greatly contributes to your mental health and energy, and overcome any kind of mental tiredness.
11| They repel insects
If you are having a mosquito buzzing around your ear all night long, a scented candle will help solve the problem. Citronella candles are great with that!
