All-Natural Scented Aromatherapy Soy Candles

By Kelly Wood


Aromatherapy soy candles come in a variety of types made using different ingredients. The basic composition for any kind of scented candle is a mix of some kind of wax combined with one or more oils. The soy-based variety makes use of vegetable wax made from soy beans. Essential oils, also natural, impart the scent it gives off when the candle is lit.

This formula creates a candle that differs from the traditional kind in that it is not only scented, but also environment-friendly. The fumes are therapeutic and completely non-toxic. The exact benefits will vary based on the scent, but most give relief from stress and enhance mental clarity. It also assists in the revitalization process.

After all the wax has melted and the flame dies out, there is nothing left behind because all the ingredients go back to nature in some form. It's very different when a normal candle with paraffin wax is used, since it is made by processing petrochemicals and has a large carbon footprint. The paraffin does not offer any therapeutic benefits of its own either.

The soy candle, it is important to note, has a lower melting point than the normal kind. It can turn into a puddle of wax in the heat of the sun on an especially hot day, even if there's no flame burning it up. The point here is that these candles must be bought and kept in holders before and after use too.

Alternatively, additives may be included in the composition to increase its melting point. The candles used in aromatherapy must only have ingredients that can be found in nature, and cannot contain any artificial additives. When the candle burns, the aroma of the soy-based wax combines with the scent of the oil and creates an atmosphere of freshness that patients can soak in and feel revitalized.

The exact effect, as mentioned above, varies based on the scent chosen. The selection of true aka single scents available is vast, and covers almost any fragrant object found in nature that can be processed into oils. It could be eucalyptus or lavender, or anything from cedarwood to clove, cinnamon, mint, orange, sage, rosemary, etc. The scent the candle gives out is exactly the same as inhaling the smell of eucalyptus leaves or sniffing the orange.

There is also the option to choose a synergy, which is a combination of essential oils. It has a combined effect that is greater than the individual effect of each of the constituent oils included in the blend. For example, a blend consisting of eucalyptus, rosemary and mint gives an extraordinary jolt and cooling effect that wakes up the patient. It makes their fatigue melt away, and quickly opens up clogged sinuses.

A combination of cedarwood with fir needles and spruce creates the freshness of a forest inside the room. It alleviates depression, and leaves people free from worries about their daily life and urban headaches. Professionals use many such blends of aromatherapy soy candles to create the desired effect. The good thing about it is that this method involves no downside. The affordable candles are completely harmless to both the patient as well as the environment.
