In a world where happiness and ambiance are intertwined, scented candles are no longer just decorations, but silent guardians of comfort, health, and physical and mental health. At AlbaScent, we use pure plant wax and the essence of nature to carefully craft scented candles to make them shine more. Here are five benefits of scented candles.
Relieve anxiety
“Scientifically proven that scented candles can play an important role in the physiological effects of mood, stress, work ability, and overall mental health,” said Chryssa Chalkia, a certified clinical integrative psychotherapist and cognitive behavioral therapist. In short, certain scents appeal to you because of the memories you associate with them. However, some scents repeatedly trigger the same hormones in many people, making them popular as calming home scents. Geranium, lavender, and mint, for example, “have been shown to be useful in treating a variety of psychological and physical disorders.”
Lemongrass-scented candles may help calm your nerves. In a study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, people who were exposed to a lemongrass scent experienced greater reductions in anxiety and tension compared to those who did not inhale the scent. These participants also recovered faster from stress-inducing situations.
Scents like lavender, chamomile, and sandalwood have been shown to promote relaxation, calm the mind, and reduce anxiety. When aromatic oils are infused into scented candles, you can enjoy the same benefits as they illuminate your room and uplift your space.
Improve Psychology and Boost Positive Mindset
Scented candles contain fragrant essential oils. These scents can soothe and evoke positive emotions. With continued use, they can improve your overall mental and emotional health.
For those who have trouble maintaining a positive mindset, light citrus-scented candles that are said to “lift your spirits and boost your energy.”
There’s a reason why bright citrus scents are associated with summer and sunshine. Citrus is known for its refreshing properties, and research shows that it can also refresh your mindset. A Japanese study found that the smell of citrus helped eliminate emotional stress and boosted participants’ moods for up to 30 minutes.
Try lighting a citrus-scented candle and enjoy the mood-boosting and energizing power of bergamot, grapefruit, orange, or lemon. These fruity scents were also overwhelmingly rated as “happy” and “stimulating” in mood mapping tests.
Refreshing
Eucalyptus candles can be refreshing and help with focus
If you’re fighting the Monday blues or need to focus on a project, rosemary and eucalyptus may be the perfect productivity booster.
Research supports the use of rosemary as a cognitive stimulant, with data showing improved memory, increased alertness, and enhanced focus. Try lighting a rosemary eucalyptus candle to energize your day.
Enhance Ambience
Scented candles add a soft, warm glow that instantly changes the mood of a room.
Their flickering light creates a cozy, intimate atmosphere, perfect for relaxing or setting the mood for a relaxing or special occasion.
You’ll notice that it creates a nice, relaxing and cozy atmosphere. A few candles strategically placed throughout your home can help you instantly create a cozy and intimate atmosphere.
Adding a candle here or there will soften a space and instantly make it feel warm and inviting.
Candles are known for their calming and healing properties, and they are often used by therapists, such as massage therapists, to create a relaxing atmosphere in treatment rooms.
The simple act of lighting a candle, with its lovely flicker and soft glow, helps to relax and soothe the mind. Next time you’re having a stressful day, give it a try: light a candle, observe the flame, and simply breathe for a few minutes – even 60 seconds can make a big difference.
Add a decorative touch
Candles come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and designs, making them versatile decorative pieces that complement different interior styles and add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space.
Candles are an elegant addition to any room in your home.
Your options are endless: you can use soft colors to add a soft touch to any space, or bright, bold colors to make a statement.
Candles are versatile and come in a variety of styles to suit any room. Bathroom candles create a spa-like atmosphere, and strategically placed candles throughout your living room can create a cozy and calming vibe (very cozy).
Meanwhile, candles in the center of your dining table can help you set the mood for a romantic candlelit dinner, and kitchen candles can inspire the ambiance of the places where we gather most often and can eliminate odors.
Candles can also be used to create a magical, whimsical escape on your patio, porch, deck, and garden. You can even light a citronella candle to repel bugs.
They’re also a great way to express your personal style. Each design or scent is a testament to your unique preferences, allowing you to decorate your space in a way that resonates with you.
Ultimately, scented candles are more than just a scent; they’re also beautiful decorative elements that enhance the overall beauty of a space.
