Candles and Aromatherapy
Our sense of smell has more influence on our lives than any of the other senses. Each day we breathe in around 25,000 times, and each breath floods our scent receptors with information about the world we live in. Aromas can evoke pleasure, awareness, danger, attraction, and we are capable of recognizing about 10,000 different odors - each one has the power to influence our moods and behavior.
Aromatherapy is a natural approach for helping the mind, body, and spirit through the use of fragrances to create an atmosphere and stimulate the senses. Researchers have shown that certain aromas can trigger reactions within the body which relieve stress, enhance mental clarity and concentration, help us gain energy, create a sensual mood, and help to relax. By understanding the different aromatherapy properties connected to various smells, you can choose scented candles that will have the desired effect on your recipient
