Why Scented Candles Enhance Relaxation



Scented candles do more than just light up a room; they engage the senses, evoke emotions, and influence mood. The gentle flicker of a candle flame combined with calming fragrances can reduce stress, promote mindfulness, and create an atmosphere conducive to relaxation. Incorporating scented candles into your evening routine can signal to your body and mind that it’s time to unwind.

Candle Care Tips for Optimal Relaxation



To ensure you get the most out of your candles and maintain a relaxing atmosphere:


  • Trim the Wick: Before each use, trim the wick to about 5mm to prevent soot and ensure a clean burn.
  • Burn Time: Allow the candle to burn long enough for the wax to melt evenly across the surface to avoid tunnelling.
  • Safety First: Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep it away from drafts, pets, and children.
