An essential oil candle has many benefits and uses. The healing power of the aromatherapy properties, the hypnotic candle flame, the soothing nature of the oils being released from the wax pool, all combine to create the perfect balance of calm.

Essential oil candles can either work as a single oil in wax or as a blend fragrance, ideal if you have a single issue you want the oil to help heal. You can blend essential oils where certain oils mixed together can have a synergistic effect to create a sense of feeling, whilst still healing.

Blending essential oils is an art and over time you learn which ones work well together. A lot is down to personal preference, what feels relaxing to one person is not ideal for someone else. You have to be led by your nose and your need.

If you are test-smelling blended oils and you seem to be drawn to 2 very different blends. It is worth asking about the contents as you may find that one ingredient is in both and that is the one oil that your nose/brain is drawn to and therefore the one that you need.

When you are choosing an essential candle, try to work out what needs you have, and then search out or ask for help in finding that ingredient and then take it home, light, relax and enjoy.
